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 it with a manual shut-off valve following local codes; no external regulator is needed. On casters, Royal calls for a quick-disconnect flexible connector and a restraining device.
- Boil out the new tank before the first fill.
- Inspect the shipment before signing and note any visible damage on the freight bill.
Questions buyers ask
How much oil does it hold?
Two stainless steel tanks hold 50/25 lbs. of oil; frying area is 14" x 14" (50 lb.) and 6 3/4" x 14" (25 lb.).
Does it need electricity?
No. It uses a millivolt control system with a standing pilot and 100% safety shut-off, so it runs on gas alone.
What gas connection does it need?
Two 3/4" NPT connections, one per tank, with a manual shut-off valve. Manifold pressure is 4" W.C. for natural gas and 11" W.C. for propane, and no external pressure regulator is required.
Can I run the two tanks separately?
Yes. Each tank has its own drain valve and its own oil, so you can keep different products apart (two 3/4" gas connections).
Does it have a built-in filter?
No. Filter it with Royal's RPF-50 portable filter, or look at the RFT battery models with a built-in filter.
How much clearance does it need?
6" at the rear and sides from combustible walls and 0" from non-combustible walls.
What does the warranty cover?
Royal covers this fryer for 1 year parts and labor from installation (up to 18 months from manufacture), and the stainless steel tank for 5 years prorated. Labor is covered when an authorized Royal service agency does the work.
How do I clean it?
Filter the oil at the end of each day and wash the baskets and loose parts. Once a week, drain the tank, boil out with a boil-out solution, scrub, rinse and dry before refilling.
