Description
Holds one full-size pan of hot food at serving temperature in one insulated drop-in unit, with its own remote thermostat.
The Hatco HWBI-1DA is an insulated drop-in modular heated well with 1 full-size well for 12" x 20" pans, built in one 15.5" wide unit for a steam table or serving counter. The thermostat dial and lighted on/off switch sit in a remote control box on a 6 ft. flexible conduit. The well has a 3/4" NPT drain. Auto-fill keeps the water at the right level from a 1/4" NPT water line. It is rated 1215 watts and is ordered in 120, 208 or 240V single phase.

Insulated wells
The insulated stainless and aluminized steel housing holds heat in each well, and Hatco says it gives longer holding times with more accurate temperatures.
Remote thermostat
A thermostat dial and lighted on/off rocker switch sit in a remote control box on a 6 ft. flexible conduit.
Flexible pan layout
Each well takes one full-size pan, two half-size or three third-size pans with adapter bars, or round 4 or 7 qt. inserts with an adapter top.
Built-in drain
A 3/4" NPT brazed drain fitting with a flat screen keeps pans level and makes the well easy to empty and clean.
Auto-fill
The auto-fill control keeps the water level in the well from a 1/4" NPT water line, so staff do not top up by hand.
Easy service
Hatco designed the well so the element or thermostat can be changed quickly if needed.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the carton for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt. Approximate shipping weight is 38 lb.
- Installation must be done by qualified installers to local electrical and plumbing codes. The unit is hard wired unless the optional factory cord was ordered.
- Set the well into the countertop with ribbon putty gasket between the unit and the counter, and lock it with the EZ locking hardware.
- Locate the unit indoors where the room is at least 70°F, away from the heat and grease of grills and fryers.
- Install the water supply with backflow protection to code. Water from a reverse osmosis system needs a working remineralization system, or the well can overfill.
- Run the unit empty when you first turn it on: factory oils can smoke for up to 30 minutes.
Questions buyers ask
What electrical service does it need?
Order it in 120V (10.1 A), 208V (5.9 A) or 240V (5.1 A), single phase. It is rated 1215 watts and is hard wired unless you add the factory cord option, which uses a NEMA 5-15P plug at 120V or NEMA 6-15P at 208V or 240V.
What size hole do I cut in the counter?
Cut 14-1/8" to 14-3/8" wide by 22-1/4" to 22-1/2" deep for the standard EZ locking tabs. The control box needs its own 10-1/8" x 4-3/4" cutout. Hatco designs the unit for a non-combustible, preferably metal, countertop.
Can I use it wet or dry?
Yes. Hatco designs the wells for wet or dry use. Let the unit cool to room temperature before you switch between wet and dry, and never let it run dry when it is set up for water.
Are pans included?
No. Food pans, adapter bars, adapter tops and pan support bars are sold separately. Hatco also offers heated well covers that turn the wells into a heated shelf.
What does the water line need?
A 1/4" NPT connection with 25 to 100 psi and supply water between 60°F and 110°F, installed with backflow protection.
What warranty does it have?
Hatco's limited warranty lists heated well elements for the HW, HWB and HWBI series at 1 year parts and labor plus 1 more year parts only. Parts not listed carry Hatco's standard 18-month limited warranty. Register the unit with Hatco to avoid delays in warranty coverage.
