TB14 SERIES GAS FRYERS
CHAPTER 2: IMPORTANT INFORMATION
2.1 Product Description
Frymaster TB14 Series gas fryers are energy-efficient, tube-style, gas-fired units, design-certified by
the International Approval Services (AGA/CGA), National Sanitation Foundation (NSF), and
manufactured to their basic performance and application specifications.
All units are shipped completely assembled with accessories packed inside the frypot. All units are
adjusted, tested and inspected at the factory before shipment. Sizes, weights and input rates of all
models are listed in this manual.
NOTE: The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made aware of inherent
dangers of operating a deep fat fryer, particularly aspects of oil filtration, draining, and
cleaning of the fryer.
2.2 Principles of Operation
The incoming gas flows through orifices and is mixed with air in the burners to create the correct
ratio for proper combustion. The mixture is ignited at the front end of each heat tube by the pilot
light. Internal diffusers slow the flame as it goes through the burner tube. This slower and more
turbulent flame gives much better heat transfer to the walls of the tubes, thereby heating the oil
better.
2.3 Rating Plate
The rating plate is attached to the inside right-hand corner of the front door panel. Information
provided includes the model and serial number of the fryer, BTU/hr input of the burners, outlet gas
pressure in inches W.C. (mbars) and whether the unit has natural or propane gas orifices.
DANGER
Fryers MUST be connected ONLY to the gas type identified on the attached rating
plate.
2.4 Pre-Installation
A. General: Only a licensed gas fitter should install any gas-fired equipment.
1. A manual gas shut-off valve must be installed in the gas supply line ahead of the fryers for
safety and ease of future service.
2-1
TB14 SERIES GAS FRYERS
CHAPTER 2: IMPORTANT INFORMATION

CHAPTER 2: IMPORTANT INFORMATION
2.4 Pre-Installation (cont.)
3. CE/EXPORT STANDARDS: Fryer installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence
of local codes, to the appropriate national or European Community (CE) standards.
2.5 Air Supply and Ventilation
Keep the area around the fryer clear to prevent obstruction of combustion and ventilation airflow as
well as for service and maintenance.
A. Do not connect this fryer to an exhaust duct.
B. Correct installation and adjustment will ensure adequate airflow to the fryer system.
C. A commercial, heavy-duty fryer must vent its combustion wastes to the outside of the
building. A deep-fat fryer must be installed under a powered exhaust hood, or an exhaust fan
must be provided in the wall above the unit, as exhaust gas temperatures are approximately
800-1000°F (427-538°C). Check air movement during installation. Strong exhaust fans in
the exhaust hood or in the overall air conditioning system can produce slight air drafts in the
room.
D. Do not place the fryer’s flue outlet directly into the plenum of the hood, as it will affect the
gas combustion of the fryer.
E. Never use the interior of the fryer cabinet for storage or store items on shelving over or
behind the fryer. Exhaust temperatures can exceed 800°F (427ºC) and may damage or melt
items stored in or near the fryer.
F. Adequate distance must be maintained from the flue outlet of the fryer(s) to the lower edge
of the filter bank. Per NFPA Standards No. 96, a minimum of 18-inches (45-cm) should be
maintained between the flue(s) and the lower edge of the exhaust hood filter.
G. Filters and drip troughs should be part of any industrial hood, but consult local codes before
constructing and installing any hood. The duct system, the exhaust hood and the filter bank
must be cleaned on a regular basis and kept free of grease.
2.6 Equipment Installed at High Altitudes
A. The fryer input rating (BTU/hr) is for elevations up to 2,000 feet (610-m). For elevations
above 2,000 feet (610-m), the rating should be reduced four percent for each additional 1,000
feet (305-m) above sea level.
B. The correct orifices are installed at the factory if operating altitude is known at time of the
customer’s order.

2.7 Receiving and Unpacking Equipment
A. Check that the container is upright. Use an outward prying motion - no hammering - to
remove the carton. Unpack the fryer carefully and remove all accessories from the carton.
Do not discard or misplace these, as they will be needed.
B. After unpacking, immediately check the equipment for visible signs of shipping damage. If
damage has occurred, contact the carrier and file the appropriate freight claims. Do not
contact the factory. Shipping damage responsibility is between the carrier and the dealer.
If your equipment arrives damaged:
1. File claim for damages immediately, regardless of extent of damage.
2. Visible loss or damage: Be sure this is noted on the freight bill or express receipt and is
signed by the person making the delivery.
3. Concealed loss or damage: If damage is unnoticed until equipment is unpacked, notify
freight company or carrier immediately, and file a concealed damage claim. This should
be done within 15 days of date of delivery. Be sure to retain container and all packing
materials for inspection.
NOTE: Frymaster Does Not Assume Responsibility for Damage or Loss Incurred in
Transit.
C. Remove all plastic skin from sides, front, and doors of the fryer(s). Failure to do this prior to
initial fryer operation will make it very difficult to remove later.

CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION
3.1 Installing the Fryer
A. Initial Installation: If the fryer is installed with legs, do not push the fryer to adjust its
position. Use a pallet or lift jack to lift the fryer slightly, then place the fryer where it is to be
installed.
B. Relocating the fryer: Remove all weight from each leg before moving a fryer with legs
installed. Do not slide the fryer on the legs.
C. If a leg becomes damaged, contact your service agent for immediate repair/replacement.
3.2 Leveling the Fryer (fryers equipped with legs only)
A. All Installations: If the floor is uneven or has a definite slope, it is recommended to place
the fryer on an even platform.
B. Place a spirit level across the top of the fryer and level the unit both front-to-back and side-
to-side. If it is not level, the unit may not function efficiently, the oil may not drain properly
for filtering and in a line-up it may not match adjacent units.
C. Adjust to the high corner and measure with the spirit level. If floor is uneven, level the unit
with the screw adjustments on each leg (ensure minimum clearances as discussed in
Chapter 2 are maintained during the leveling procedure).
D. Re-leveling: If the fryer is moved, re-level the fryer following the above instructions.
E. The install must be reviewed at the time of installation to ensure it meets the intent of these
instructions.
CAUTION
Fryers must be at room temperature, empty of oil, and if fitted with legs, lifted during
movement to avoid damage and possible bodily injury.
DANGER
Hot shortening can cause severe burns. Avoid contact. Under all circumstances, oil
must be removed from the fryer before attempting to move it to avoid oil spills, and
the falls and severe burns that could occur. This fryer may tip and cause personal
injury if not secured in a stationary position.

CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION
3.4 Gas Connections
DANGER
Before connecting new pipe to this appliance the pipe must be blown out thoroughly
to remove all foreign material. Foreign material in the burner and gas controls will
cause improper and dangerous operation.
NATIONAL CODE REQUIREMENTS
This equipment is to be installed in compliance with the Basic Plumbing Code of the Building
Officials and Code Administrators International, Inc. (BOCA) and the Food Service Sanitation
Manual of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
This equipment is manufactured to use the type of gas specified on the rating plate attached to the
door. Connect equipment stamped "NAT" only to natural gas and that stamped "PRO" only to LP
(Propane) gas.
Installation shall be made with a gas connector that complies with national and local codes.
Quick disconnect devices, if used, shall likewise comply with national and local codes.
DANGER
The fryer MUST be connected to the gas supply specified on the rating and serial number
plate located on the back of the fryer door.
DANGER
If gas odors are detected, the gas supply MUST be shut off at the main shut-off valve. The
local gas company or FASC should be contacted immediately to rectify the problem.
A. The gas supply (service) line must be the same size or greater than the fryer inlet line. This
fryer is equipped with a 3/4" (22 mm) male inlet. The gas supply line must be sized to
accommodate all the gas-fired equipment that may be connected to that gas supply. Consult
your contractor, gas company, supplier, or other knowledgeable authorities.
Recommended Gas Supply Line Sizes
Gas Types Number of Fryers
1 2 to 3 4 or more (*)
Natural Gas 3/4" (22 mm) 1" (28 mm) 1-1/4" (35 mm)
Propane Gas 1/2" (15 mm) 3/4" (22 mm) 1" (28 mm)

to provide a 1 1/4" (33 mm) rigid gas connection.
3-3
TB14 SERIES GAS FRYERS
CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION
3.4 Gas Connections (cont.)
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 immediately contact the local gas company or an authorized service
agency for service.
DANGER
"Dry-firing" your unit will cause damage to the frypot and can cause a fire. Always
ensure that melted shortening, cooking oil or water is in the frypot before firing the
unit.
B. Rigid Connections: Check any installer-supplied intake pipe(s) visually 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 orifices 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 first
two pipe threads—doing so will cause clogging of the burner orifices and control valve.
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.
1. External gas regulators are not normally required on this fryer. A safety control valve
protects the fryer against pressure fluctuations. If the incoming pressure is in excess of
½" PSI (3.45 kPa/35 mbar), a step-down regulator will be required.
DANGER
When pressure-testing incoming gas supply lines, disconnect the fryer from the gas
line if the test pressure is ½" PSI [3.45 kPa (14 inches W.C.)] or greater to avoid
damage to the fryer’s gas piping and gas valve(s).

CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION
3.4 Gas Connections (cont.)
E. Manifold Pressure: Only qualified personnel should check the manifold pressure with a
manometer.
1. Check the rating plate for 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 indicates
gas flow direction. It should point downstream towards the fryers. The air vent cap is
also part of the regulator and should not be removed.
3. If a vent line from the gas pressure regulator is used, it should be installed in
accordance with local codes or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-(latest edition).
WARNING
Use a diluted soap solution to find potentially dangerous gas leaks when making
new connections.
F. Regulators can be adjusted in the field, but it is recommended that they not be tampered with
unless the part is known to be out of adjustment or serious pressure fluctuations are found to
exist and can be solved no other way.
G. Only qualified service personnel should make adjustments to the regulators.
H. Orifices: The fryer can be configured to operate on any available gas. The correct safety
control valve, appropriate gas orifices, and pilot burner are installed at the factory. While the
valve can be adjusted in the field, only qualified service personnel should make any
adjustments with the proper test equipment.
I. Flexible Couplings, Connectors and Casters:
1. If the fryer is to be installed with flexible couplings and/or quick-disconnect fittings, the
installer must use a heavy-duty AGA design-certified commercial flexible connector of
at least 3/4" NPT (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).
WARNING
Do not attach accessories to this fryer unless fryer is secured from tipping. Personal
injury may result.
2. The fryer must be restrained by means independent of the flexible coupling or
connector in order to limit the movement of the fryer. Clips are located on the back
panel of the fryer for the attachment of restraints.
