DANGER

Drain the frypot or remove the handle from the drain valve before proceeding further.

1.Disconnect fryer from electrical and gas supplies.

2.Disconnect the wires from the gas valve terminal block, marking each wire to facilitate reconnections. For 120VAC gas valves, disconnect the black wire from the high-limit, then remove the bobtail connecting the white wire.

3.Remove the high-limit thermostat wire from the gas valve pilot coil (all but 120 VAC valves).

4.Remove the pilot gas line fitting from the gas valve.

5.Remove the pipe union collars to the left and right of the gas valve and remove the valve.

6.Remove the pipefitting from the old gas valve and install on the replacement valve, using Loctite PST567 or equivalent pipe thread sealant on threads. Do not apply sealant to the first two pipe threads. Doing so will clog and damage the gas valve.
