Delivery and setup
- Inspect the carton for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt. Approximate shipping weight is 42 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.
Questions buyers ask
What size cutout do I need?
Cut the countertop 14.19" to 14.37" wide and 29.188" to 29.438" deep. The unit is 15.5" W x 30.375" D x 9.62" H. Leave at least 3-1/2" below the unit to any combustible surface.
What electrical service does it need?
208V or 240V single phase; three phase is not offered on the single-well HWBI43-1 series. It draws 5.9 A at 208V or 5.1 A at 240V, 1215 W.
Is a cord and plug included?
No. It is hard wired as standard. Hatco offers a factory cord with a NEMA 6-15P plug, single phase only, at time of order.
Can I add more wells later?
This is a single-well unit. Hatco builds the same 4/3-size wells in ganged units of 2 to 6 wells (HWBI43-2 to -6) if you need more.
Can I use it wet without a drain?
Yes. Hatco designs its heated wells for wet or dry use; without a drain you fill and empty the well by hand. Let it cool before switching modes.
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.
