Code (NFPA 54-Latest Edition) and ANSI Z223.1-Latest Edition Latest Edition. In Canada, install
the fryer in accordance with CAN/CGA-B149.1 or .2 and local codes. Gas line sizing requirements
can be determined by your local gas company by referring to National Fuel Gas Code, Appendix C,
Table C-4 (natural gas) and Table C-16 (propane). The gas line needs to be large enough to supply
the necessary amount of fuel to all appliances without losing pressure to any appliance. Other factors
that are used to determine the piping requirements are BTU requirements of the appliances being
connected and the length of pipe between the meter (main shut off) and the appliances.
WARNING
NEVER supply the fryer with a gas that is not indicated on the data plate. Using
the incorrect gas type will cause improper operation. If you need to convert the
fryer to another type of fuel, contact your dealer.
1.4.2.1 Fuel Types - Each fryer is equipped to work with one type of fuel. The type of fuel with
which the appliance is intended to operate is stamped on the data plate attached to the inside of the door.
WARNING
DO NOT use an open flame to check for gas leaks!
1.4.2.2 Gas Line Connection - Connect the fryer to the gas supply line with a connector that
complies with the Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances (ANSI Z21.69-Latest
Edition). If you are installing a fryer with casters use a quick disconnect refer to the Quick Disconnect
installation instruction, 1.4.2.3. Connect the gas line to the fryer using a pipe joint sealant that is resistant
to liquefied petroleum. If the fryer was disconnected during the fuel line testing, use a solution of soap
and water to leak test the new connection.
NOTICE
NEVER use an adaptor to make a smaller gas supply line fit the cooker
connection. This may not allow proper gas flow for optimum burner operation,
resulting in poor cooker performance.
1.4.2.3 Quick Disconnect Gas Connection - Gas fryers equipped with casters must be installed
with connectors that comply with the Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI
Z21.69-Latest Edition, and Addenda Z21.69A-Latest Edition. This connection should include a
quick disconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick Disconnect Devices for Use
With Gas Fuel , ANSI Z21.41-Latest Edition. When installing a quick disconnect you must also
install a means for limiting the movement of the fryer. This device will prevent the gas line or the
quick disconnect from being strained. The restraining device should be attached to the cooker on
the back panel as shown in the illustration. The quick disconnect, hose, and restraining device can
be obtained from your dealer.
