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 Table 4 below for the minimum sizes of connection piping.
Table 4: Gas Connection Pipe Sizes
(Minimum incoming pipe size should be
Gas | Single Unit | 2 - 3 Units | 4 Units* |
Natural | 3/4" (19 mm) | 1" (25 mm) | |
Propane | 1/2" (13 mm) | 3/4" (19 mm) | 1" (25 mm) |
Manufactured | 1" (25 mm) |
*For distances of more than 20 feet (6 meters) and/or more than four fittings or elbows, increase the connection by one pipe size.
CE Standard
CE regulations require a combustion air supply of 2m3/h per kW per fryer. (See rating plate affixed to door for kW rating.)
1.Connect the
NOTE: Some fryers are configured for a rigid connection to the gas supply line. These units are connected to the gas supply line at the rear of the unit.
When using thread compound, use very small amounts on male threads only. Use a pipe thread compound that is not affected by the chemical action of LP gases (Loctite PST567 sealant is one such compound). DO NOT apply compound to the first two threads. Applying compound to the first two threads will cause clogging of the burner orifices and control valve.
