installation

1. Remove the unit from the shipping carton and
remove all packing materials.

NOTE: To prevent delay in obtaining warranty
coverage, fill out and mail in the warranty
card to Hatco.
NOTE: If unit is equipped with optional equipment,
see the ACCESSORIES section near the
back of this manual.
Dual Mounting
When mounting units side-by-side, a space not less
than 3" (76 mm) must be maintained between units.
Dual units ordered from the factory are shipped with
a pre-assembled 3" (76 mm) or 6" (152 mm) spacer.
NOTE: Dual units are available with aluminum
housings only.
Installation of two or more separate units with
less than 3" (76 mm) between housings may
result in premature failure of component parts.
Failure to provide proper spacing may result in
heat damage to electrical components.
Under Shelf Mounting
When mounting a unit under a shelf, use adjustable
angle brackets to assure proper spacing. Remote
control enclosures are recommended to keep
switches out of the heat zone and prevent
premature failure.
Pass-Through
If pass-through area is 12" to 16" (305 to 406 mm)
deep, the standard wattage or high wattage single
unit can be used. For a 20" to 24" (508 to 610 mm)
deep pass-through area, a dual unit in either
standard or high wattage is recommended.
Installation of multiple units must have a minimum
spacing of 3" (76 mm) between heaters.
T-Legs or C-Legs
Do not mount units longer than 60" (1524 mm)
on T-legs or C-legs.
Over Steam Table
When mounting over a steam table, a remote
control switch enclosure must be installed.
