Gas Supply Line Sizes
Gas Type
2-3 4 or more*
Natural 1” (28mm) 1-1/4” (35mm)
Propane 3/4” (22mm) 1” (28mm)
* When exceeding 18 feet for a confi guration of more than four
fryers, provide a 1-1/4” (35mm) rigid gas connection.
B. Rigid Connections: Check any installer -supplied intake pipe(s) and clean threading chips,
or any other foreign matter before installing into a service line. If the intake pipes are not
clear of all foreign matter, the orifi ces will clog when gas pressure is applied. Seal pipe
joints with a sealant resistive to LP gas. When using thread compound on gas piping,
use very small amounts and only on male threads.
Use a pipe thread compound that is not affected by
the chemical action of LP gases. DO NOT apply
thread compound to the fi rst two pipe threads—
doing so will cause clogging of the burner orifi ces
and control valve.
The fryer must be connected to
the gas supply specifi ed on the
rating and serial number plate
located on the back of the fryer
Danger
door.
C. Manual shut-off valve: This gas service supplier-
installed valve must be installed in the gas service
line ahead of the fryers in the gas stream and in
a position where it can be reached quickly in the
event of an emergency.
D. Regulating Gas Pressure: The fryer and shut-off
valve must be disconnected from the gas supply
during any pressure testing of the system.
If gas orders are detected, the
gas supply MUST be shut off
at the main shut-off valve. The
local gas company or FASC
should be contacted immedi-
ately to rectify the problem.
Danger
1. External gas regulators are not normally required on this fryer. A safety control valve
protects the fryer against pressure fl uctuations. If the incoming pressure is in excess
of ½” PSI (3.45 kPa/35 mbar), a step-down regulator will be required.
E. Manifold Pressure: Your local service technician should check the manifold pressure
with a manometer.
1. Check the rating plate for specifi c manifold gas pressures.
Natural gas units normally
require 4” W.C., and propane units normally require 11” W.C. gas pressure.
2. Double check the arrow forged into the bottom of the regulator body, which shows gas
fl ow direction. It should point downstream towards the fryers. The air vent cap is also part of
the regulator and should not be removed.

to accommodate the fryer confi guration (with
suitable strain reliefs), in compliance with the
Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas
Appliances, ANSI Z21.69-(latest edition)
and Addenda Z21.69a-(latest edition). Quick
disconnect devices must comply with the
Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for
Use with Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41-(latest
edition).
Danger
All connections must be
sealed with a joint compound
suitable for the gas being
used and all connections must
be tested with a solution of
soapy water before lighting
any pilots.
Never use matches, candles
or any other ignition source to
check for leaks. If gas odors
are detected, shut off the gas
supply to the appliance at the
main shut-off valve and im-
mediately contact the local
gas company or an authorized
service agency for service.
Danger
