Questions buyers ask
Which strip heater does it work with?
Hatco RMB boxes are made for Glo-Ray strip heaters, one box per heater. Hatco matches the box to the heater with its Choose Remote Box picker. Send us your heater model, voltage and wattage and we will confirm the match before you order.
Where can I mount it?
In a cool, dry location as far from any heat zone as possible. Do not mount it on, under, around or above the heater, on a heated surface or near steam equipment.
How much load can the switches carry?
Hatco rates them per switch: toggle switches handle up to 15 amps and infinite controls up to 12.2 amps. Do not use them on circuits above those ratings.
What do the controls do?
A toggle switch turns power on and off to the heating elements and/or lights. An infinite control turns on the power and sets the heat of the elements.
Which voltage is this box?
The RMB-16C is the 208V version. Hatco lists the same layout as RMB-16B for 120V and RMB-16D for 240V. Match the box to your strip heater voltage.
Can I get a color?
Clear anodized is standard. Hatco offers Designer Colors and Gloss finishes only at the time of purchase, and non-standard colors are non-returnable. Ask us before you order.
