Description
A 16" thermostatic griddle in a modular section that mounts on a counter, refrigerated base or battery line, 16" wide.
The Southbend Platinum P16N-T is a 16" heavy-duty sectional range for restaurants, hotels and institutional kitchens that build a custom cooking line. The top has a 16" thermostatic griddle. It has no base of its own: the N means a modular unit for mounting on a countertop, refrigerated or freezer base. Natural-gas input totals 40,000 BTU. It connects with a 1" rear gas connection or couples to neighboring sections through its 1-1/4" front manifold, and needs an external pressure regulator.

Questions buyers ask
Does it come with legs or an oven?
No. The P16N-T is the modular version with no base. It mounts on a countertop, refrigerated or freezer base. The same top on a cabinet base is a different model.
Natural gas or propane?
Southbend sets the range for one gas at the factory, so tell us your gas type when ordering. Natural gas: 40,000 BTU in total; propane: 36,000 BTU.
Do I need a pressure regulator?
Yes. All Platinum sectional units need a regulated gas supply, and Southbend's spec sheet says the pressure regulator must be ordered separately. Ask us to add it to your order.
What gas hookup does it need?
A 1" rear gas connection with a male NPT connector, or the 1-1/4" front manifold when it is coupled to other sections. Minimum supply pressure is 7" W.C. for natural gas and 11" W.C. for propane.
Does it need electricity?
No electrical service is listed for the P16N-T.
How close can it go to a wall?
10" sides and 12" rear from combustible construction, 0" from noncombustible. Southbend recommends installing it under a vented hood.
Manual or thermostatic griddle?
A G in the model number means manual controls that set the flame, not a temperature. A T means thermostatic control from 180°F to 400°F. This model has thermostatic control.
What does the warranty cover?
Southbend covers defects in parts and labor for 1 year from purchase, serviced by a Southbend Authorized Service Agency, and no longer than 18 months from the factory. Spark igniters, seals and similar wear parts are limited to 90 days, and damage from improper installation, ventilation or misuse is not covered.
