Installation Site Requirements
The installation site must meet specific requirements for safe
and proper installation of the unit.
• Make sure the countertop material is designed to withstand
long periods of hot food holding temperatures. Contact the
manufacturer of the countertop material for application
information.
• Make sure the installation site provides the proper minimum
clearances for adjacent surfaces.

Installing the Unit
Use the following procedure to install the unit using the supplied
angle brackets.
NOTE: Units can be ordered with up to 10ʹ (3 m) of element
wire leads, depending on the installation location of
the control box. The LED wire leads always will be 18"
(457 mm) longer than the element wire leads.
Damage to any countertop material caused by heat
generated from Hatco equipment is not covered under
the Hatco warranty. Contact manufacturer of countertop
material for application information.
1. Determine the exact mounting location on the underside of
the shelf.
NOTE: The attached angle brackets provide 1" (25 mm)
clearance between the unit and an overshelf.
NOTE: Units can be mounted to a flat shelf or a shelf with
rolled/flanged edges. The unit must be installed with
the minimum 1" (25 mm) clearance measured from the
lowest part of the overshelf. For example, a shelf with
a 1" (25 mm) flanged edge would require the unit to be
installed 2" (51 mm) below the underside of the shelf.
2. Fasten the angle brackets to the underside of the shelf
using appropriate fasteners (not supplied by Hatco). Make
sure the unit is facing the desired direction with the wire
leads on the proper side before fastening the unit to the
shelf.

3. Route the element wire leads and LED wire leads toward
the installation location for the control box.
NOTE: Curved Infrared Strip Heaters with lights (GR5AL and
GR5AHL models) require two separate power supplies
from the control box. A high voltage supply for the
heating element and a low voltage supply for the LED
light channels.
