J1C, J1X, & J2X MASTER JET SERIES GAS FRYERS

CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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 ½" (13 mm) in diameter. Refer to the chart below for the minimum sizes of connection piping.

	Gas Connection Pipe Sizes
(Minimum incoming pipe size should be ½" (13 mm))
Gas	Connecting Pipe Size	Connecting Pipe Size
	(J1C/J1X)	(J2X)
Natural	¾" (19 mm)	¾" (19 mm)
LP/Propane	½" (13 mm)	½" (13 mm)
Manufactured	1" (25 mm)	1" (25 mm)

1.Connect the quick-disconnect hose to the fryer quick-disconnect fitting under the front of the fryer and to the building gas line.

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.

2.Open the gas-supply valve to the fryer and check all piping, fittings, and gas connections for leaks. A soap and water solution should be used for this purpose.
