2.4 Connection to Gas Line
DANGER
Before connecting new pipe to this appliance, the pipe must be blown out thoroughly to remove
all foreign material. Foreign material in the burner and gas controls will cause improper and
dangerous operation.
DANGER
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of ½ PSI (3.45 kPa,
13.84 inches W.C.) to avoid damage to the fryer’s gas tubes and gas valve(s).
DANGER
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manu-
al shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures
equal to or less than ½ PSI (3.45 kPa, 13.84 inches W.C.)
DANGER
“Dry-firing” your unit will cause damage to the frypot and can cause a fire. Always ensure that
cooking oil or water is in the frypot before firing the unit.
DANGER
All connections must be sealed with a joint compound suitable for the gas being used and all
connections must be tested with a solution of soapy water before lighting any pilots.
DANGER
Never use matches, candles, or any other ignition source to check for leaks. If gas odors are de-
tected, shut off the gas supply to the appliance at the main shut-off valve and immediately con-
tact the local gas company or an authorized service agency for service.
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 chart below for the minimum
sizes of connection piping.
