Description
A 12" heavy duty manual griddle that adds a flat top to a short line or a crowded counter.
The RMG-12 is the narrowest of Royal's heavy duty manual griddles: one 30,000 BTU stainless steel U-shaped burner under a 3/4" thick polished steel plate with a full 24" cooking depth. It suits cafes, food counters and kitchens that need a dedicated spot for eggs, pancakes or sandwiches. It lights with a standing pilot and runs on a manual valve, so it needs a gas line but no electrical outlet.

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.
Does it need electricity?
No. It lights with a standing pilot and the burner runs on a manual valve, so no outlet is needed.
How is the temperature controlled?
By hand: one manual valve controls the burner. There is no thermostat; if you want a set temperature, look at Royal's thermostatic RTG griddles.
What gas connection does it need?
A 3/4" NPT connection at the right rear. Manifold pressure is 5" W.C. for natural gas and 10" W.C. for propane; the regulator ships with the unit for your installer to connect.
How much clearance does it need?
The spec sheet lists 4" rear and 15" sides from combustible walls; Royal's owner's manual lists 6" rear and 4" sides. Plan for the larger figures, or 0" from non-combustible walls.
Can I get a thicker plate or a grooved section?
Yes. Royal offers a 1" thick plate, a grooved griddle section and a chrome griddle plate, plus stainless steel equipment stands. Call us to order an option.
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), with labor done by an authorized Royal service agency.
How do I clean the griddle plate?
Daily, scrub the warm plate with warm water and a fine-grit griddle brick, and empty and clean the grease can. Wipe stainless steel with hot soapy water; don't use steel wool or abrasive powders.
