Diamond WGL1-7 Countertop Gas Wok Burner with Cold Water Tap

The Diamond WGL1-7 is a countertop gas wok burner designed for professional kitchens producing wok-based dishes at volume. It sits on the worktop rather than being built into a suite, which makes it practical for operations where wok cooking is a focused station rather than the entire cooking line. The unit includes an adjustable chromium-nickel-steel wok ring to accommodate different wok sizes, iron slit burners for even heat distribution, and a front-mounted control valve for straightforward flame adjustment during service. A cold water tap is integrated into the unit, providing an immediate water curtain for rapid cooling and on-the-spot rinsing — a practical feature in any wok station where speed and hygiene between dishes matter.

In a busy kitchen, wok cooking demands a burner that responds quickly and holds high heat consistently. The iron slit burner design helps sustain the intense, focused heat that authentic wok technique requires, and the adjustable wok ring means the pan stays properly seated regardless of wok diameter. The integrated water tap reduces the need to move between the wok station and a separate sink, which improves both workflow and hygiene during a fast-paced service.

Practically speaking, this unit is worth considering for:

• Takeaways, Chinese restaurants, and pan-Asian kitchens where wok dishes form a core part of the menu
• Kitchens looking for a countertop solution rather than a full floor-standing range
• Operations needing a dedicated wok station that can be positioned independently

As a countertop gas appliance, it will require a suitable LPG or natural gas supply with a proper isolation valve, appropriate non-combustible worktop support, and adequate overhead ventilation — a canopy extraction system is essential. The unit weighs 50kg, so the surface it sits on needs to be rated accordingly. Adjustable feet are included to allow levelling on site. This product is made to order, which means lead times will be longer than stock items, and cancellation or returns are not possible once the order is placed — this is worth factoring into your planning timeline.

The WGL1-7 is well suited to kitchens where wok cooking is a regular, high-frequency part of service rather than an occasional requirement. For sites producing wok dishes at very high volumes or running multiple wok positions simultaneously, a heavier-duty or multi-burner configuration may be worth considering. Equally, for kitchens with limited countertop space, it is worth reviewing the footprint carefully before committing.

If you are unsure whether this unit suits your gas supply, extraction setup, or service volumes, the team is happy to talk it through before you place an order.
