Fetco IP44 HWB-5 Hot Water Dispenser — Maritime, 3.0 kW / 220-240V (H05041MIP)
The IP44 HWB-5 is engineered to meet Maritime IP44 (Ingress Protection) certification — built for the demanding cleaning protocols of cruise ships, ferries, and other marine galleys where foodservice equipment routinely gets sprayed down. IP44 certification means the unit stays fully functional through that environment.
At 5 gallons, this dispenser is sized for light-duty foodservice and beverage prep. Set the thermostat at your preferred temperature for consistent hot water for soups, gravy, oatmeal, cheese sauces, gelatins, mashed potatoes — and an adjustable Controlled Refill feature manages recovery so hot water stays available during peak service.
Durable stainless steel construction stands up to daily abuse and cleans up easily. The fully-insulated top and sides retain heat for better energy efficiency and a cool-touch exterior. A permanent faucet guard adds an extra layer of sanitation. A lighted power switch and green "Ready" LED keep operators informed at a glance.
