Hatco UGA-72 Ultra-Glo Ceramic Infrared Strip Heater, 72", Standard Watt, 1960-2000 W, 208/240V
Description
A 72" ceramic overhead warmer that mounts higher than a metal-element strip heater, so staff get more working room over the pass.
The Hatco UGA-72 is the 72" standard watt Ultra-Glo ceramic infrared strip heater. A ceramic heat source lets it mount higher for better working clearance, and a pre-focused pyramidal heat pattern puts more heat at the edges of the holding area, where heat loss is greatest. It comes in 208 or 240V single phase, set when you order, and draws 1960-2000 watts depending on voltage. Hatco includes either an attached control box or a remote control enclosure with a toggle switch and indicator light, and adjustable angle brackets for mounting. This size is not offered at 120V.

Ceramic heat source
The ceramic element lets the heater mount higher than metal-element units, which gives the chef and server more working clearance.
Pyramidal heat pattern
Pre-focused heat concentrates at the edges of the holding area, where heat loss is greatest. A dual aluminized steel reflector focuses heat toward the food.
Housing that will not sag
A continuous extruded aluminum housing with heavy-duty insulation keeps the exterior cooler. A wire guard sits under the heating element.
Control included
Hatco includes an attached control box or a remote control enclosure with toggle switch and indicator light. A remote box with electronic infinite control is a factory option.
Adjustable brackets
The standard angle brackets allow 3 mounting heights and a conduit connection at the end of the unit.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the carton for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt. Approximate shipping weight is 25 lb.; add 2 to 8 lb. for a remote control enclosure.
- A licensed electrician should hardwire the unit at the voltage on its specification label, through the 3 ft. conduit whip, in line with local electrical codes.
- Mount it 14" to 18" above the food in non-combustible surroundings, at least 1" below a shelf and 3" from a back wall.
- If you ordered a remote control enclosure, install it outside the heat zone or it will be damaged.
- Clean daily once it is off and cool: wipe metal surfaces with a damp, non-abrasive cloth, then dry.
