Hatco S-45 Description
The Hatco S-45-208-3-QS Imperial booster heater sanitizes dishes by heating water up to 180 degrees Fahrenheit or 140 degrees for low-temp dishmachines. The unit is insulated with fiberglass, which helps retain heat, along with the built-in heat trap. The low-water cut-off feature stops burnouts by shutting off the heating elements when water level gets too low. If the water level becomes too high, the relief gauge drains some water. A limit switch prevents the water temperature from getting too high. Two gauges display pressure and temperature levels.
The Hatco S-45-208-3-QS Imperial booster heater has a stainless steel front and durable sides made of powder-coated hammertone steel. Its tank has a capacity of 16 gallons, and its Castone® lining resists corrosion. Maintenance can be performed from the front of the unit. A simple toggle switch turns the heater on and off. The pilot indicator lights up when the heater is turned on.
