Gas Connection Pipe Sizes

2.4Connection to Gas Line

DANGER

Before connecting new pipe to this appliance, the pipe must be blown out thor- oughly to remove all foreign material. Foreign material in the burner and gas con- trols will cause improper and dangerous operation.

DANGER

The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of ½ PSI (3.45 kPa, 13.84 inches W.C.) to avoid damage to the fryer’s gas tubes and gas valve(s).

DANGER

The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its in- dividual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ PSI (3.45 kPa, 13.84 inches W.C.)

DANGER

“Dry-firing” your unit will cause damage to the frypot and can cause a fire. Always ensure that cooking oil or water is in the frypot before firing the unit.

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 light- ing 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.

The size of the gas line used for installation is very important. If the line is too small, the gas pressure at the burner manifold will be low. This may cause slow recovery and delayed ignition. The incoming gas supply line should be a minimum of 1½” (38 mm) in diameter. Refer to the chart below for the minimum sizes of connection piping.

(Minimum incoming pipe size should be 1 1/2" (41 mm))
