Frymaster FGP55 operation manual Check for GAS Leaks

Page 15

2.4.1 Connecting to the Gas Supply (cont.)

When configured for natural gas, this equipment requires a standard gas pipe size of ¾ inch (22 mm) ID for connections within 20 feet (6 m) of the supply line, provided no more than 4 fittings or elbows are used in the run. For a pipe run over 20 feet (6 m), increase the pipe size to 1 inch (28 mm). For use with LP (Propane) gas, the next smaller pipe size may be used.

IF IN DOUBT ABOUT THE PIPE SIZE TO BE USED, CONSULT YOUR LOCAL GAS COMPANY.

DANGER

Before connecting new pipe to this equipment, the pipe must be blown out

thoroughly to remove all foreign material. Foreign material in the burner and gas

controls may cause improper and dangerous operation.

1.Connect the equipment to the gas supply line. When making connections, apply a small amount of Loctitite® PST 56765 or equivalent thread compound to the male threads only. DO NOT apply the compound to the first two threads. This will prevent clogging of the burner orifices and control valve.

2.Open the gas supply to the fryer and check all piping, fittings, and gas connections for leaks. A soap-and-water solution should be used for this purpose. NEVER USE OPEN FLAME TO

CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

DANGER

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 fryer at the main shut-off valve and contact the local gas company or an authorized service agency for service.

The rethermalizer and any shut-off valves installed between the rethermalizer and the gas supply line must be disconnected from the gas supply line during any pressure testing of the supply line at pressures equal to or greater than ½ PSIG (3.45kPa, 14 inches W.C.).

3.Close the drain valve and fill the cookpot with water and boil-out solution to the overflow. Light the burners as described in Chapter 3, “Operating Instructions”, and perform the boil-out procedures as described in section 2.6, “Boil-Out Instructions” of this manual.

WARNING

"Dry-firing" this equipment will cause damage to the cookpot. Always ensure that

the cookpot is filled with water before firing your unit.

4.It is suggested that the burner manifold pressure be checked at this time by the local gas company or an authorized service agent.
