A standard one inch, black steel pipe and malleable fittings
should be used for gas service connections.
Do not use cast iron fittings.
Although one inch size pipe is‘reconunended, piping
should be of adequate size and installed to provide a supply
of gas sufficient to meet the maximum demand without
undue loss of pressure between the meter and the fry station.
The pressure loss in the piping system should not exceed 0.3
inch water column.
“revisions should be made for moving the fry station for
leaning and servicing. This may be accomplished by:
Installing a manual gas shut off valve and a disconnect
union, or
Installing a heavy duty design A.G.A. certified
connector. In order to be able to service this appliance,
which is provided with casters, a connector complying
with ANSI 221.69 or CAN/CGA 6.16 and a
quick-disconnect device complying with ANSI 22 1.4 1
or CAN l-6.9 must be installed. It must also be
installed with restraining means to guard against
transmission of strain to the connector as specified in
the appliance manufacturer’s instruction.
Refer to the cable restraint instructions (illustration 2-6)
on how and where to attach the restraining devices to
the wall and fryer.
Prior to turning the gas supply on, be sure the gas dial
cock on fry station gas valve is in the OFF position.
After the piping and fittings have been installed, check
for gas leaks. A simple checking method is to turn on
the gas and brush all connections with a soap solution.
If bubbles occur, it indicates escaping gas. In this
event, the piping connection must be redone.
Never use a lighted.match or open flame to test for gas
leaks. Escaping gas could cause an explosion resulting
in severe personal injury.
