Electrical diagram located on inside of door.
GAS CONNECTION
NOTICE
All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound must be resistant to
the action of propane gases.
The gas inlet is located on the lower rear of the fryer. 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 ½” (12.7 mm) iron pipe
for single units and 1-1/4” (31.75 mm) for batteries. If using the optional
quick-disconnect flex hose, ¾” (19 mm) iron pipe for single units and 1-1/4”
(31.75 cm) iron pipe for batteries.
Make sure the pipes are clean and free of obstructions, dirt, and piping
compound. A battery requires one or two connections of appropriate size for
the gas requirement.
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.
After piping has been checked for leaks, fully purge gas pipes to remove air.
GAS PRESSURES (ALL MODELS):
The gas measured exiting the gas valve should be set at .08” W.C. (Water
Column) (0.02 kPa) for natural gas and .08” W.C. (0.02 kPa) for propane gas.
This fryer has been gas calibrated at the factory to achieve maximum
performance. Do not make any adjustments to the gas valve assembly. The supply
pressure should be 7-9” W.C. for natural gas and 11-12” W.C. for propane gas.
If incoming pressure exceeds 14” WC (½ psig -3.45 kPa), a step-down pressure
regulator must be installed.
TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM:
When test pressures exceed ½ psig (3.45 kPa), the fryer and its individual
shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system.
When test pressures are ½ psig (3.45 kPa) or less, the fryer must be isolated
from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual shutoff valve.
Fryers with Casters:
Separate instructions for installing casters are included with the casters:
- The installation shall be made with a connector that complies with the Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69, CAN/CGA6.16, and a quick-disconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick- Disconnect Devices for Use with Gas Fuel, ANSI z21.41.CSA 6.9 or QuickDisconnect Devices for Use with Gas Fuel.
- 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 quick disconnect from being strained. The restraining device should be attached to the cutout on the back panel. See illustration for location.
- The fryer must be installed with a connector (not supplied by Vulcan) complying with the above codes.
- The fryer must be installed with restraining means to guard against transmission of strain to the connector. See illustration.
- The fryer must be installed with the casters provided.
- If the restraint is ever to be disconnected, first turn the gas supply off. If disconnection of the restraint is necessary, reconnect this restraint after the fryer has been returned to its originally installed position.
LEVELING THE FRYER
Check the level of the fryer by placing a level on top of the fryer after gas
connections have been made.
Ensure that the fryer is level front-to-back and side-to-side in the final
installed position.
