A stainless steel built-in gas hob is the practical choice for markets that value structural strength, easy cleaning and long service life. RIDAX manufactures stainless steel built-in gas hobs in 2, 3, 4 and 5 burner layouts, built on stainless steel panels with galvanized steel bottom shells, brass nozzles and cast iron pan supports. Every unit is factory-set for the gas type specified at order — LPG or natural gas — and goes through ignition and leak testing before shipment. Models are supplied to importers, distributors, kitchen appliance brands and project buyers, with OEM/ODM support for panel size, burner configuration, gas type, logo and packaging.

Panel Construction: What “Stainless Steel” Means in Practice

• Panel sheet — stainless steel, 0.6mm on our 600mm four-burner model (RDX-GHS030); other thicknesses available on request

• Bottom shell — galvanized steel, which resists corrosion in humid and coastal markets far better than untreated cold-rolled sheet

• Pan supports — heavy-duty cast iron, removable for cleaning, stable under heavy cookware

• Control knobs — zinc alloy with heat-resistant shaft, smooth flame adjustment

• Surface finish — brushed, so grease and fingerprints wipe off with a cloth; no abrasive cleaner required

Compared with tempered glass, a stainless steel panel carries no shatter risk, no edge chipping in transit, and no sensitivity to heavy cast iron pots or to tools knocking the surface during installation. That is why stainless steel remains the default specification for rental apartments, project kitchens and markets where replacement cost matters more than showroom appearance.

Burner Configurations

Models are built for the gas type specified at order. Burner material, burner spacing and the number of rings can be adjusted for a project, provided the change is agreed before production.

Dimensions and Loading

Take the 600mm four-burner model as the reference point for planning a project:

Cut-out dimensions are issued per model, not per category. Cabinet openings differ between burner layouts even when panel widths match, so RIDAX supplies a dimension drawing for the specific model you order. Buyers fitting stone or stainless countertops should pass that drawing to the fabricator before the opening is cut.

Gas Type, Nozzles and Regional Pressure

Built-in gas hobs are only as reliable as their gas configuration. RIDAX supplies each order with brass nozzles matched to the destination market and the gas type confirmed by the buyer.

• LPG — bottled or cylinder supply, common in household and off-grid installations

• Natural gas (NG) — piped supply, common in residential developments and municipal networks

Converting a hob from LPG to NG requires replacing the internal nozzles. Adjusting the air shutter alone will not produce a correct flame and is not an acceptable conversion. Conversion should be carried out by qualified personnel according to local gas appliance regulations.

Ignition and Safety

• 1.5V battery pulse ignition — no mains connection required, which keeps the hob usable in markets with unstable or absent kitchen wiring

• Independent flame control — one zinc alloy knob per burner, so each burner is adjusted separately

• Flame failure device (FFD) — available as an option; the standard configuration differs between models, and our 600mm four-burner model is supplied without FFD as standard

• Leak testing — every unit is tested before packing; installation instructions cover the connection and leak-check procedure

If your market requires FFD by regulation, state it in the enquiry and RIDAX will confirm which models can be supplied with it.

Where Stainless Steel Built-in Gas Hobs Fit

• Household kitchens — a 4 or 5 burner layout covers daily family cooking without occupying worktop space the way a freestanding cooker does

• Apartments and residential projects — built-in installation suits fitted kitchens and bulk procurement, where consistent panel size and repeatable quality matter

• Rental and social housing — stainless steel resists impact and heavy use better than glass, and replacement panels are cheaper to supply

• Light commercial kitchens — cast iron pan supports and a steel panel handle continuous daily operation

• Distributors and private-label brands — OEM/ODM on panel size, burner layout, gas type, logo and packaging

How to Choose the Right Configuration

1. Burner count — 2 burners for compact and rental kitchens; 3 to 4 for family use; 5 for larger households and light commercial

2. Panel width against cabinet width — confirm the panel fits the cabinet run before ordering, and confirm the cut-out drawing with your countertop fabricator

3. Gas type — LPG or NG, decided before production; conversion afterwards needs new nozzles

4. Ignition — battery pulse ignition where kitchen wiring is unreliable

5. Safety requirement — confirm whether your market mandates FFD

6. Order quantity — MOQ depends on model and configuration; ask for the current figure for your specification

FAQ

Q1: What is the difference between a built-in gas hob and a table top gas cooker? A built-in hob drops into a cut-out in the countertop, so only the panel and pan supports sit above the surface. A table top cooker stands on the worktop as a complete unit and needs no cut-out. Built-in suits fitted kitchens and projects; table top suits rental, outdoor and replacement use.

Q2: Can the panel be supplied in a different thickness? Yes. Our 600mm four-burner model uses a 0.6mm stainless steel panel. Other thicknesses can be discussed for a project, subject to confirmation before production.

Q3: Is a flame failure device available? It is available as an option, and the standard configuration varies by model — the 600mm four-burner model is supplied without FFD as standard. Tell us your market's requirement and we will confirm which models can include it.

Q4: Can you produce the hob for LPG in one order and NG in another? Yes. Gas type is set at production, and each order is supplied with brass nozzles matched to the confirmed gas type. Mixing gas types within a single order requires the split to be stated in advance.

Q5: Do you support OEM and private label? Yes. Logo, packaging, panel size, burner layout and gas configuration can be adapted for distributors and appliance brands. Send the specification and target market, and RIDAX will confirm feasibility and lead time.

Q6: Can I order a sample before placing a bulk order? Samples can be supplied for evaluation. Sample cost and freight depend on the model and destination — send the model number and delivery country for a quotation.
