Hatco • Made in USA • cULus & UL EPH ClassifiedKeep soups, sauces and pre-cooked entrées hot, safe and ready to serve with the Hatco Hydro-Heater™. This compact 3 kW unit mounts directly to the bottom of your bain-marie or hot-well and delivers temperature-controlled water faster and more evenly than coil elements or immersion heaters.

- Tool-free clean-out caps plus front drain valve make daily maintenance quick and easy.
