The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2psi (3.5kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing tis individual manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2psi (3.5kPa).
An adequate gas supply is imperative. Undersized or low pressure lines will restrict the volume of gas necessary for
satisfactory performances. A combination gas valve and pressure regulator, which is provided with each unit, is set to
maintain a 4” W.C. manifold pressure for natural gas or 10.0”W C. manifold pressure for propane gas. However, to main-
tain these conditions the pressure on the supply line, when all units are operating simultaneously, should not drop below
7” W.C. for natural gas or 11”W.C. for propane gas.
Fluctuations of more than 25% on natural gas or 10% on propane gas will create problems and affect burner operating
characteristics. A 1/8” tap to measure the manifold pressure is located on the combination gas valve, which is on the
burner manifold located directly below the burners inside the cabinet.
Purge the supply line to clean out dust, dirt, or other foreign matter before connecting the line to the unit.
It is recommended that an individual manual shutoff valve be installed in the gas supply line to the unit.
Use pipe joint compound that is suitable for use with both natural and LP gas on all threaded connections.

A 3/4”male NPT line for the gas connection is located near the lower right rear corner of the fryer. The serial
plate (located inside the front door of the fryer) indicates the type of gas the unit is equipped to burn (natural
gas or propane). The fryer should be connected only to the type of gas for which it is equipped.
A circuit diagram is located inside the front door of the fryer.
This equipment is adjusted at the factory; however, pilot height should be checked at installation and adjusted,
if necessary.
For orifice sizes and pressure regulator settings, see the chart on page 4. If the fryer is being installed at over
2,000 feet altitude and that information was not specified when ordered, contact the appropriate authorized
Service Representative or the Service Department. Failure to install with all with proper orifice sizing will result
in poor performance and may void the warranty.
If applicable, the vent line from the gas appliance pressure regulator shall be installed to the outdoors in
accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANST Z223.1,
Natural Gas Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1, or the propane Installation Code, CAN/CGA B149.2, as applicable.
