GBD_GBDF SERIES GAS FRYERS
Clearances:
Minimum clearance from combustible construction:
6” (15 cm) from the sides of the fryer
6” (15 cm) from the back of the fryer
The fryer may be installed on combustible floors.
Minimum clearance from noncombustible construction:
0” from the sides of the fryer
0” from the back of the fryer
Between the fryer and any open-top flame units:
16” (41 cm)
Allow space for servicing and operation.
Location:
Install fryer in an area with sufficient air supply for gas combustion at fryer
burners.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Provide adequate clearance for air openings into the combustion chamber.
Do not permit fans to blow directly onto fryer.
Avoid wall-type fans, which create cross-currents within a room. Avoid
open windows next to sides or back.
CODES AND STANDARDS
The fryer must be installed in accordance with:
In the United States:
State and local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with:
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI-Z223.1/NFPA #54 (latest edition). Copies may
be obtained from The American Gas Association Accredited Standards
Committee Z223, @ 400 N. Capital St. NW, Washington, DC 20001 or the
Secretary Standards Council, NFPA, 1 Batterymarch Park Quincy, MA 02169-
7471.
NFPA Standard #96 Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment, latest edition,

GBD_GBDF SERIES GAS FRYERS
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA-70 (latest edition). Copies may be obtained
from The National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy,
MA. 02169-7471.
In the commonwealth of Massachusetts all gas appliances vented through a
ventilation hood or exhaust system with a damper or with a power means of
exhaust shall comply with 248 CMR.
In Canada:
Local codes
CAN/CSA-B149.1 Natural Gas Installation (latest edition).
CAN/CSA-B149.2 Propane Installation Code (latest edition), available from the
Canadian Gas Association 178 Rexdale Blvd., Etobicoke, Ontario Canada
M9W 1R3.
CSA C22.1 Canadian Electric Code L4W 5N6.
The fryer must be restrained to prevent tipping and the splashing of hot liquid. The means
of restraint may be the manner of installation, such as connection to a battery of
appliances, installing the fryer in an alcove, or by separate means such as adequate ties.
Make the flue connection as follows:
Comply with Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment, ANSI-NFPA
Standard #96 (latest edition), available from the National Fire Protection
Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
Locate the fryer under a hood with adequate connection to an exhaust
duct. The hood must extend 6” (15 cm) beyond fryer on both sides.
Clearance above the fryer should be adequate for combustion byproducts
to be removed efficiently.
An 18” (46 cm) minimum clearance should be maintained between the flue
vent and the filters of the hood venting system.
Never make flue connections directly to the fryer.
Do not obstruct the flow of the gases from the appliance. Proper air
balance should be maintained in the room.

GBD_GBDF SERIES GAS FRYERS
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 pressure should be set at 4” W.C. (Water Column) (0.8 kPa) for natural gas and
10” W.C. (2.75 kPa) for propane gas. If incoming pressure exceeds ½ PSI (3.45 kPa), an
additional pressure regulator must be installed.
TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM:
When test pressures exceed ½ PSI (3.45 kPa), the fryer and its individual shutoff valve
must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system.
When test pressures are ½ PSI (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 or Connectors
for Moveable Gas Appliances, CAN/CGA-6.16, and a quick-disconnect device that
complies with the Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use with Gas Fuel,
ANSI z21.41 or Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use with Gas Fuel, CANI-6.9.
