Comstock-Castle F3430-4RB, 48 In. Restaurant Gas Range, 48" Charbroiler, (1) 31.5" Oven

The Comstock-Castle F3430-4RB is a 48-inch heavy-duty restaurant gas range built for full-service restaurants and busy breakfast houses that need a a 48-inch radiant charbroiler section working through full service without losing heat. It pairs that cooktop with a 31.5-inch oven sized for full 18-by-26-inch sheet pans flat.

In a real kitchen, the 130,000 BTU output keeps the 48-inch radiant charbroiler at sear temperature across the full grate, so steaks and chops mark consistently from front to back without cold zones. The 31.5-inch standard oven takes full 18-by-26-inch sheet pans flat, with a 30,000 BTU H-pattern oven burner and V-shaped baffle for even browning.

This is the right call for full-service restaurants and busy breakfast houses where the 48" charbroiler layout matches your menu mix. If you're running a high-volume diner line where every burner is going through three meal services, the 60-inch or 72-inch siblings in Comstock-Castle's 48-inch range family carry more concurrency. If your kitchen is a tight-footprint prep station, the 30-inch or 24-inch siblings cut the install width.

48-Inch Radiant Charbroiler with Cast Iron Top Grates

The 48-inch radiant charbroiler fires 100,000 BTU of cast iron burner through 10-gauge stainless radiants up to flare-reducing cast iron top grates for superior heat retention and consistent sear marks. A spatula-wide front grease trough drains into a removable catch for fast end-of-night cleanout. Char-broilers are approved for non-combustible-surface installs only.

One 31.5-Inch Standard Oven with H-Pattern Cast Iron Burner

Each oven cavity is 31.5 inches wide by 22 inches deep by 14 inches tall, sized for full 18-by-26-inch sheet pans flat. The oven burner is a 30,000 BTU H-pattern cast iron unit paired with a V-shaped baffle that pushes heat around the cavity for even browning instead of straight up the back wall. Linings are porcelain on the surfaces you scrub and aluminized steel on the structure. Each oven ships with one nickel-plated rack on three positions spaced two-and-three-quarter inches apart, with 4-1/2 inches maximum clearance at the highest rack position. A 500°F thermostat with 100% safety shut-off holds the cavity steady, and the standing pilot lights the burner without an electrical hookup, so the F3430-4RB keeps running through a power outage as long as the gas line stays live.

Welded Stainless Steel Chassis on 6-Inch Heavy-Duty Pipe Legs

The cabinet is welded, not bolted: angle iron and aluminized steel inner frame, stainless steel exterior, double-wall construction with heavy fiberglass insulation between the walls. Welded chassis stay square through years of hot-cold cycling and the daily abuse of pots banging against the front rail; bolted construction works loose after a couple of seasons and shows up as a rattle in the door and a misaligned cooktop. The double-wall insulation keeps the outside surfaces cool enough that a line cook can lean in to plate without flinching, and it cuts the radiated heat your hood has to deal with. The F3430-4RB stands on six-inch heavy-duty stainless steel pipe legs with adjustable feet so you can level it on an uneven kitchen floor.

500°F Thermostat, 100% Safety Shut-Off, and Brass Top Burner Valves

If the pilot ever drops, the 100% safety shut-off cuts gas flow at the oven within seconds with no manual reset wand-walk required. Each top burner runs its own brass valve, which holds up against grease ingress in a way plated-steel valves do not (plated valves pit and seize after a year of line service). Pressure regulators are factory-set to 4 inches of water column for natural gas or 10 inches for propane, and the manifold is 3/4-inch NPT. Controls are tested before the unit ships and pressure regulators come factory-set.

Sister Configurations in the Same Chassis for Different Menu Mixes

This F3430-4RB ships as the configuration described above. If a menu pulls heavier on a different cooking method, the same 48-inch chassis is available as separate SKUs that swap open-burner pairs for 12-inch, 24-inch, 30-inch, or 36-inch griddles, radiant charbroilers, hot tops, or cheesemelters in 12-inch increments. The F3430-4RB is the right call when this specific cooktop layout matches how your line actually cooks.

Factory Accessories for Bake, Hood, and Service Programs

Optional add-ons available from the factory include casters for rolling cleanout, extra oven racks, pizza decks for the oven, FD oven thermostats, oven spark pilots, chrome griddle plates, 1-inch-thick griddle plates, griddle thermostats, safety-pilot griddles, lift-off griddles, automatic grill scrapers, hose and quick disconnects, control protection bars, low backs, and a storage base that replaces the oven cavity for kitchens that need cabinet storage more than oven capacity. These are factory accessory SKUs added to the order at purchase; they do not ship with the base F3430-4RB unit.
