GAS CONNECTIONS

CAUTION: All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound used must be resistant to the action of propane gases.

WARNING: PRIOR TO LIGHTING, CHECK ALL JOINTS IN THE GAS SUPPLY LINE FOR LEAKS. USE SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.

Rear Gas Connection for Stand Alone Installations

The gas inlet is located at the lower left rear.

Codes require that a gas shutoff valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the fryer.

The gas supply line must be at least the equivalent of 1/2" (12.7 mm) iron pipe. If using the optional quick-disconnect flex hose, 3/4" (19 mm) iron pipe must be used unless 3/4" (19 mm) to 1/2" (12.7 mm) reducing fittings are used. Make sure the pipes are clean and free of obstructions, dirt, and piping compound.

After piping has been checked for leaks, all piping receiving gas should be fully purged to remove air.

Front Gas Connection for Battery Installations

Codes require that a gas shutoff valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the fryer and battery of equipment.

The gas manifold of a battery lineup of which the fryer is a part, must be installed using a regulator design-certified by a nationally recognized testing lab to the applicable ANSI standard. The pressure regulator must have a maximum regulation capacity to handle the total connected load and must have an adjustment range for manifold pressure marked on the equipment rating plate(s). If the manifold pressure of the connected equipment is not the same, a separate regulator must be supplied for all devices operating under different manifold pressure ratings.

CONNECTION OF MANIFOLDS IN BATTERY

1.If the fryer requires alignment to match the battery lineup, remove the front panel and door assembly. Start fryer alignment by loosening 2 bolts on each U bracket securing the 11/4" (31.8 mm) manifold pipe to the fryer.

2.Shift the 11/4" (31.8 mm) manifold pipe left or right, in or out, until alignment with the equipment battery manifold pipe is achieved. While holding the fryer manifold in place, tighten the holding screws on the U bracket back in place.

3.Apply pipe sealer resistant to the action of propane gases around the threaded edge(s) of the fryers 11/4" (31.8 mm) manifold pipe.

4.Engage the union nut on the fryer manifold pipe with the male fitting on the batteried unit adjacent to the fryer. Draw up the union hand tight. Continue connecting the manifolds, following these steps 1 - 4, until all units in the battery lineup are installed.

5.Using channel locks, tighten all connection points along the manifold of the entire equipment battery.

6.Install manifold end cap if applicable.

7.Check all connection points along the manifold for gas leaks.
