The Vulcan-Hart VG series features powerful, efficient burners that deliver consistent heat for optimal cooking performance.

The series also includes models compatible with various gas types, ensuring that operators can choose what best fits their establishment's needs.

Safety is another priority within the VG series design. Each burner is equipped with a flame failure safety feature which automatically shuts off gas flow if the flame goes out. This enhances safety in high-pressure kitchen environments, providing peace of mind for operators and staff alike.
