VK / TR / VFRY SERIES GAS FRYERS

VULCAN-HART F-32971 Rev. R(12-15)

-8-

GAS CONNECTION

All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound must be

resistant to the action of propane gases.

The gas inlet is located on the lower rear of the fryer. Codes require that a gas shutoff

valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the fryer.

The gas supply line must be at least the equivalent of ½” (12.7 mm) iron pipe for single

units and 1-1/4” (31.75 mm) for batteries. If using the optional quick-disconnect flex hose,

¾” (19 mm) iron pipe for single units and 1-1/4” (31.75 cm) iron pipe for batteries.

Make sure the pipes are clean and free of obstructions, dirt, and piping compound. A

battery requires one or two connections of appropriate size for the gas requirement.

Prior to lighting, check all joints in the gas supply line for leaks.

Use soap and water solution. Do not use an open flame.

After piping has been checked for leaks, fully purge gas pipes to remove air.

GAS PRESSURES (ALL MODELS):

The gas measured exiting the gas valve should be set at .08” W.C. (Water Column) (0.02

kPa) for natural gas and .08” W.C. (.02 kPa) for propane gas. This fryer has been gas

calibrated at the factory to achieve maximum performance. Do not make any adjustments

to the gas valve assembly. A external gas pressure regulator has been installed to the

fryer and has been set at the factory. There should be no need to make any further

adjustments. The supply pressure (upstream of the regulator) should be 7-9” W.C. for

natural gas and 11-12” W.C. for propane gas.

TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM:

When test pressures exceed ½ psig (3.45 kPa), the fryer and its individual shutoff valve must

be disconnected from the gas supply piping system.

When test pressures are ½ psig (3.45 kPa) or less, the fryer must be isolated from the gas

supply piping system by closing its individual shutoff valve.

Fryers with Casters:

Separate instructions for installing casters are included with the casters:

 The installation shall be made with a connector that complies with the

Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69, CAN/CGA-

6.16, and a quick-disconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick-

VK / TR / VFRY SERIES GAS FRYERS

VULCAN-HART F-32971 Rev. R(12-15)

-9-

Disconnect Devices for Use with Gas Fuel, ANSI z21.41.CSA 6.9 or Quick­Disconnect Devices for Use with Gas Fuel.

 When installing a quick disconnect you must also install a means for limiting the

movement of the fryer. This device will prevent the gas line or quick disconnect
from being strained. The restraining device should be attached to the cutout on the
back panel. See illustration for location.

 The fryer must be installed with a connector (not supplied by Vulcan) complying

with the above codes.
 The fryer must be installed with restraining means to guard against

transmission of strain to the connector. See illustration.

 The fryer must be installed with the casters provided.
 If the restraint is ever to be disconnected, first turn the gas supply off. If

disconnection of the restraint is necessary, reconnect this restraint after the fryer
has been returned to its originally installed position.

LEVELING THE FRYER

Check the level of the fryer by placing a level on top of the fryer after gas connections
have been made.

Ensure that the fryer is level front-to-back and side-to-side in the final installed position.
If using casters, lock the wheels after unit is level.
