Description
A 14.5" wide radiant charbroiler with a full 23" deep cooking area, for kitchens short on line space.
The RB-815 is the narrowest model in Royal's Delux RB radiant broiler series: two 14,500 BTU cast iron burners heat cast iron radiants under two-position cast iron grates. It suits restaurants, grills and bars that need a dedicated charbroiler in a 14.5" slot. Order it for natural gas or propane; the pressure regulator comes with the unit.

Radiant heat
Two heavy cast iron burners at 14,500 BTU/hr each heat heavy cast iron radiants under the grates.
Two-position grates
Heavy cast iron top grates that Royal builds to sit in two positions; rod and diamond grates are available as options.
Burner every 6"
One burner every 6" of width, each on its own manual valve, so you can run one side hot and the other lower.
Easy to clean
A stainless steel drip pan, and an independent firebox assembly that lifts out and can be replaced.
Built for daily heat
Fully welded frame, 1,200°F mineral wool insulation, and stainless steel sides and front valve cover.
Delivery and setup
- Ships by freight carrier; the shipping cost depends on your location. See our shipping policy for details.
- Call (201) 467-8222 for the current lead time before you schedule installation.
- Choose natural gas or LP when you order. If your kitchen is above 2,000 feet, tell us the elevation so Royal can set the unit up for it.
- A qualified gas installer must connect the supplied regulator and a manual shut-off valve ahead of the unit, following local codes.
- Inspect the shipment before signing and note any visible damage on the freight bill.
Questions buyers ask
Does it run on natural gas or propane?
Either. Pick Natural Gas or Liquid Propane (LP) before adding it to the cart; Royal builds it for the gas you specify. Tell us your elevation if you are above 2,000 feet.
How many BTU is it?
29,000 BTU/hr total: two cast iron burners rated at 14,500 BTU/hr each (2 x 14,500 = 29,000).
What gas connection does it need?
A 3/4" NPT connection at the right rear of the unit. Manifold pressure is 5" W.C. for natural gas and 10" W.C. for propane, and the regulator ships with the unit for your installer to connect.
Can it go next to a wood or drywall wall?
No. Royal's spec sheet says it is for installation in non-combustible locations only, with 0" clearance to non-combustible walls. Combustible-wall installation is not listed.
Does it need an electrical outlet?
No electrical connection is listed. It runs on gas with manual valves.
What grate options are there?
It comes with two-position cast iron grates. Royal offers 3/8" round or square rod grates in steel or stainless steel and cast iron criss-cross (diamond) grates as options; call us to add one.
What does the warranty cover?
Royal's limited warranty is 2 years on parts and 1 year on labor from installation (up to 30 months from manufacture); cast iron parts are covered for 90 days. The spec sheet also lists a "fully welded frame with lifetime warranty"; Royal's warranty page does not detail that term, so ask us to confirm it with Royal.
How do I clean it?
Daily, clean the grates with warm water, a mild cleaner and a wire brush, brush debris from around the burners, and empty the drip pan. Wipe stainless steel with hot soapy water; don't use steel wool or abrasive powders.
