Hatco HWBI-S4MA Drop-In Modular Slim Heated Well, 4 Full-Size Wells, Insulated, Manifold Drain, Auto-Fill, 208/240V
Description
Four full-size hot wells set lengthwise in a 15.625" deep unit, so food stays within easy reach behind a sneeze guard.
The Hatco HWBI-S4MA is a slim drop-in modular heated well: 4 insulated full-size (12" x 20") wells placed lengthwise in one top-mount unit, 89.5" W x 15.625" D. Each well has its own thermostatic control, and a lighted On/Off switch keeps the settings. The wells drain through a 1" NPT copper manifold with a side or bottom exit. Auto-fill tops up water automatically. It runs on 208V or 240V, single phase or optional three phase.

Measure the counter depth behind the sneeze guard: the whole unit is 15.625" deep.
Slim lengthwise layout
The 4 full-size wells run lengthwise, so the whole unit is only 15.625" deep and every pan stays within easy reach.
Independent well controls
Each well has its own thermostat and temperature dial, plus a lighted On/Off rocker switch that keeps the setting.
Fully insulated wells
Insulation on the sides and bottom holds heat in, speeds pre-heat and recovery, and keeps surrounding surfaces cooler.
Manifold drain
All wells empty through one 1" NPT copper manifold drain, side or bottom exit, field selectable left or right.
Auto-fill
Auto-fill sits on the left control and fills the left-hand well. Hatco notes that to fill all wells, the installer must connect the drains with an external manifold.
Built to last
Stainless steel wells with solid brazed drain fitting joints, easy service access to elements and thermostats, and EZ locking hardware.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the carton for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt. Approximate shipping weight is 153 lb.
- A qualified electrician must install the unit to local electrical codes. Installation by unqualified personnel voids the Hatco warranty.
- Install with a ribbon putty gasket between the unit and the countertop, per the Hatco manual; a factory-installed gasket is an option at order.
- Let the well cool to room temperature before you switch between wet and dry operation, and never let it run dry while set up for wet operation.
- Auto-fill: bring a potable water line to the 1/4" NPT connection (25 to 100 psi, 60 to 110°F); incoming water pipes must be FDA compliant.
- Drain sealants must be rated for 500°F or higher.
Questions buyers ask
What size cutout do I need?
Cut the countertop 88.125 to 88.375" wide and 14.25" to 14.50" deep. The unit is 89.5" W x 15.625" D x 9.56" H. Leave at least 3-1/2" below the unit to any combustible surface.
What electrical service does it need?
Order 208V or 240V, single phase, or three-phase wiring (field convertible). It draws 208V 1-Ph 23.2 A, 240V 1-Ph 20.1 A, 208V 3-Ph 15.8 A, 240V 3-Ph 13.7 A. Hatco marks the single-phase S4 ratings as multiple circuit connections, each needing its own breaker; check the spec label.
Is a cord and plug included?
No. It is hard wired as standard. Hatco offers a factory cord (NEMA 6-30P at 208V or 240V) for single-phase units with a single control box, at time of order.
What pans does it take?
Each well takes a full-size pan, or half-size and third-size pans; adapters that hold two 7-quart or three 4-quart round pans and 12" pan support bars are sold separately.
How does the auto-fill work?
Auto-fill sits on the left control and fills the left-hand well. Hatco notes that to fill all wells, the installer must connect the drains with an external manifold. It needs a 1/4" NPT water connection at 25 to 100 psi and 60 to 110°F.
What warranty does it have?
Hatco's limited warranty covers the metal-sheathed heated well element for 1 year parts and labor plus 1 more year parts only. Other parts carry Hatco's standard 18-month limited warranty. Register the unit with Hatco within 90 days of factory shipment to qualify for added coverage.
