Description
Two burners on two levels, with the rear row raised 4", so back pots stay visible and reachable on a 12" countertop.
The RDHP-12-2SU is the 12" 2-burner model in Royal's Delux step-up hot plate series: 2 cast iron burners, front and back, under 12" x 12" cast iron grates on a 12" wide by 30-1/2" deep body, with the rear burners raised 4" so tall pots in back don't block the front row. The Delux series adds a fully welded frame, which Royal's sheet lists with a lifetime warranty. It suits restaurants and caterers that need extra burners next to a griddle, fryer or broiler. Order it for natural gas or propane; the pressure regulator comes with the unit.

Measure the counter depth first: the unit needs 30-1/2" plus room behind it for the gas line and regulator.
2 burners at 30,000 BTU
Cast iron burners with removable, non-clog lift-off heads and flat top design, each with its own protected standing pilot and manual control.
Heavy cast iron grates
Two 12" x 12" cast iron top grates with Royal's bowl design hold stock pots, sauté pans and woks.
Raised rear burners
The rear row sits 4" higher than the front, so you can reach over a front pot and still see what is cooking in back.
Fully welded frame
The Delux frame is fully welded; Royal's spec sheet lists it with a lifetime warranty.
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 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.
How much higher are the rear burners?
The rear row is raised 4". Royal's drawing shows 11" at the front and 15" at the rear section, and the unit is 30-1/2" deep.
What is the difference from the RHP-12-2SU?
Both have 2 burners at 30,000 BTU 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.
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 it weigh?
Royal's 1-26 spec sheet lists a 95 lb. shipping weight and the 2026 catalog lists 105 lbs. Plan for 105 lbs. when you arrange the delivery.
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 spec sheet also 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.
