Hatco HWBHIB-FUL Full-Size Built-In Heated Well, Insulated Bottom Mount, No Drain, High Watt, 1650W, 120/208/240V
Description
A built-in full-size heated well that holds a 12" x 20" pan of hot food in your counter, wet or dry.
The Hatco HWBHIB-FUL is an insulated bottom-mount full-size heated well. It holds one full-size pan, three 1/3-size or two 1/2-size pans with adapter bars, two 7-quart round pans or three 4-quart round pans with an adapter top, and runs wet or dry. The 1650W metal sheathed element sits in a stainless and aluminized steel housing, controlled by a remote control box with a lighted on/off rocker switch and temperature dial on a 36" flexible conduit. This model has no drain, so the water is removed by hand.

Measure the cutout before ordering: the unit is voltage specific and its electrical needs are on the specification label.
Self-adjusting thermostat
The thermostat reads the actual temperature of the well and adds heat only when needed, so preset temperatures hold.
Separate on/off switch
A lighted on/off rocker switch and temperature dial sit in a remote control box on a 36" flexible conduit; 72" conduit is optional.
Wet or dry operation
Designed for wet or dry holding. Hatco recommends wet operation, with water up to 1-1/4" deep, for consistent food heating.
Insulated well
Insulation on the sides and bottom keeps heat in the well and leaves surrounding surfaces cooler.
Easy service access
Bottom-mount design: only the pan edge shows above the counter; the well fastens under the countertop.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the carton for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt.
- Hatco says the well must be installed by qualified installers to local electrical and plumbing codes; use a qualified electrician for power.
- Install with ribbon putty gasket between the well and the counter, and keep at least 3-1/2" from the bottom of the unit to combustible surfaces.
- Mount the control box vertically, at least 6" and no more than 72" from the well.
- Bottom mounting needs a custom countertop with turned-down flanges, done by an experienced installer.
