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.
Control for every well
Each well has its own thermostat dial and lighted on/off rocker switch, so you can hold different foods at different settings.
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.
Drain in each well
A 3/4" NPT brazed drain fitting with a flat screen keeps pans level and makes the well easy to empty and clean.
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 136 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.
- 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?
It is rated 4815 watts. Single phase draws 23.2 A at 208V or 20.1 A at 240V; the no-charge three-phase option draws 15.8 A at 208V or 13.7 A at 240V. It is hard wired as standard; a factory cord (NEMA 6-30P) is optional on single-phase, single-control units.
What size hole do I cut in the counter?
Cut 56-1/8" to 56-3/8" wide by 22-1/4" to 22-1/2" deep for the standard EZ locking tabs. The control box needs its own 12-1/2" 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 valve do I need on the drain?
Hatco offers a 3/4" NPT high-temperature ball or gate valve for units with individual drains, and a remote drain handle for 3/4" drains.
Can the controls be split?
Yes. One control box is standard. Split control boxes are an option on 4-, 5- and 6-well units in the US, not in Canada, and must be chosen at order.
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.
