Description
Two 30,000 BTU burners, front and back, in a 12" wide Delux hot plate for a narrow spot on the line.
The RDHP-12-2 is the 12" model in Royal's Delux hot plate series: two cast iron burners, one behind the other, under 12" x 12" cast iron grates on a 12" wide by 30-1/2" deep body. The Delux series adds a fully welded frame, which Royal's sheet lists with a lifetime warranty. It suits restaurants and caterers that need two pot or sauté burners next to a griddle or fryer. Order it for natural gas or propane; the pressure regulator comes with the unit.

Two 30,000 BTU burners
Cast iron burners with removable, non-clog lift-off heads and flat top design, each with its own protected standing pilot and manual control.
Fully welded frame
The Delux frame is fully welded; Royal's spec sheet lists it with a lifetime warranty.
Heavy cast iron grates
Two 12" x 12" cast iron top grates with Royal's bowl design hold stock pots, sauté pans and woks.
Easy to clean
A full-width removable stainless steel crumb pan slides out, and the stainless sides, valve cover and front ledge wipe clean.
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.
What is the total BTU?
60,000 BTU/hr: two burners at 30,000 BTU/hr each. Royal's 1-26 spec sheet table prints 30,000 for this model, but its own note (each burner 30,000 BTU/hr) and the 2026 catalog give 60,000, so size your gas line for 60,000.
What is the difference from the RHP-12-2?
Both have two 30,000 BTU burners on a 12" x 30-1/2" body. The Delux RDHP adds a fully welded frame, which Royal's sheet lists with a lifetime warranty.
What gas connection does it need?
A 3/4" NPT connection at the right rear of the unit. 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.
How much clearance does it need from the wall?
None from non-combustible walls. For combustible walls Royal's spec sheet lists 4" rear and 15" sides, while the owner's manual lists 6" rear and 4" sides for R(D)HP hot plates, so plan for 6" at the rear and 15" at the sides.
Can I use a wok on it?
The standard grates are 12" x 12" cast iron. Royal offers a wok burner with a 10" diameter stainless steel ring as an option; call us to order it that way.
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); the sheet lists a lifetime warranty on the welded frame. Cast iron parts, such as grates and burner heads, are covered for 90 days. Labor is covered when an authorized Royal service agency does the work.
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 crumb pan. Now and then remove the burners, clean them with a wire brush and check that the ports are open.
