Description
Two 42" ceramic infrared warmers side by side, for a 20" to 24" deep pass-through or holding shelf that needs strong, even top heat.
The Hatco UGAH-42D6 is an Ultra-Glo high watt ceramic dual infrared strip heater. It joins two 42" heating elements with a 6" spacer for an 18" deep housing (UGAH-42D with the 6" spacer). The ceramic element lets you mount it higher, 22" to 26" above the counter, for more working room. It is rated 3,000 W and built for 208 or 240V single phase, chosen when you order, and it ships with a toggle switch and indicator light in an attached control box or a remote control enclosure.

Ceramic heat source
The ceramic element lets the heater hang 22" to 26" above the food, so cooks and servers get more working clearance.
Deeper holding area
Two 42" elements mounted side by side with a 6" spacer cover a 18" deep heat zone.
Pre-focused heat
Specially shaped reflectors concentrate heat at the edges of the holding area, where heat loss is greatest, so food does not overcook in the middle.
No-sag housing
A continuous extruded aluminum housing with heavy-duty insulation will not sag and keeps the outside cooler.
Brackets included
Adjustable angle brackets set a 1", 1-1/2" or 2" gap under a shelf; tubular stands are factory options.

- This unit has two internal circuits; each circuit may require a separate circuit breaker.
- Mount any remote control enclosure in a cool, dry spot outside the heat zone, never on, under or above the heater.
- On first start the factory oils may smoke for up to 30 minutes; run it empty until the smoke stops. Allow 15 to 20 minutes to reach operating temperature.
Questions buyers ask
What power does it need?
Choose 208 or 240V single phase when you order. It is rated 3,000 W at 208V, 3,000 W at 240V and draws 7.2 A per circuit at 208V; 6.3 A per circuit at 240V. It is hardwired, with no cord and plug.
Does it come with an on/off switch?

An RMB with an electronic infinite control is optional; infinite controls are not offered in the attached box. Hatco's dual sheet notes the remote toggle box is not offered on 240V models.
How high should I mount it?
Hatco lists 22" to 26" above a non-combustible counter for this high watt dual unit. Keep it at least 1" below a shelf and 3" from the back wall, in non-combustible surroundings only.
What does the D6 in the code mean?
It is the spacer between the two heating elements. Hatco builds the dual model with a 3" spacer (standard, 15" deep) or a 6" spacer (18" deep). This listing has the 6" spacer.
Can I get it in a color?
Yes, at the time of purchase only. Clear anodized aluminum is standard; the housing, stands and remote box can be ordered in Warm Red, Black, Gray Granite, White Granite, Navy Blue, Hunter Green and Antique Copper Designer colors, or Radiant Red, Glossy Gray, Bold Black, Gleaming Gold and Brilliant Blue gloss finishes. Non-standard colors are non-returnable. Ask us for a quote.
