Hatco UGAHL-24 Ultra-Glo Ceramic Infrared Strip Heater with Lights, 24" W x 9" D, 870 W, High Watt
Description
A 24" high watt ceramic infrared warmer with display lights that keeps plated food hot over a 12" to 16" deep pass-through or holding shelf.
The Hatco UGAHL-24 is an Ultra-Glo high watt ceramic infrared strip heater with 2 shatter-resistant display lights. It is 24" wide and 9" deep, with a pre-focused heat pattern that puts more heat at the edges, where heat loss is greatest. The ceramic element lets you mount it higher, 17" to 22" above the counter, for more working room. It is rated 870 W and built for 120, 120/208 or 120/240V 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 17" to 22" above the food, so cooks and servers get more working clearance.
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.
Shatter-resistant lights
2 coated incandescent display lights light the food and guard against glass if a bulb breaks.
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 and overhead hanger posts are factory options.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the carton for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt.
- Approximate shipping weight is 12 lb; add 2 to 8 lb when a remote control enclosure is ordered.

- Mount any remote control enclosure in a cool, dry spot outside the heat zone, never on, under or above the heater.
