Capacity and fuel

This 21 quart commercial fryer holds up to 40 pounds of oil and runs on natural gas. It is built for restaurants, food trucks and catering operations that need high-volume deep frying throughout service. The stainless steel body resists corrosion in busy kitchen environments.

Oil management upgrade

A 1-1/4 inch front drain port lets staff empty used oil quickly without tilting the heavy pot. Three cast iron burners include built-in deflectors that protect the drain area during draining. Nickel-plated baskets with vinyl-coated handles reduce heat transfer to the operator's hands.

Sustained heat output

The 90,000 BTU burner system maintains temperatures between 122°F and 375°F during continuous loading. Recovery stays consistent when multiple baskets are cycled back to back. Kitchens without a natural gas line or those needing lower peak output should consider a different energy source.

Questions about this item

What size gas line and clearance does the 90,000 BTU fryer need for a safe natural gas hookup?

A certified gas fitter must size the supply line for 90,000 BTU input and verify local clearance codes; the unit has a front 1-1/4 in. drain port that must remain accessible.

Which step is most often missed when installing the three cast-iron burners with built-in deflectors?

Aligning each burner so its deflector seats inside the drain port; if rotated even slightly the port will not seal and oil will leak during draining.

How often should the nickel-plated fry baskets and vinyl-coated handles be inspected or replaced in a 40 lb oil operation?

Check baskets daily for mesh damage and handles for vinyl cracks; replace any basket that shows pitting or a handle that exposes bare metal to 375°F oil.
