YSCFHC18G HIGH EFFICIENCY COOL ZONE SERIES GAS FRYERS
CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
3-4
3.3 Leveling the Fryer (cont.)
ANSI Z83.11/11a-(Latest Edition) requires a fryer be restrained to prevent tipping when
installed in order to avoid the splashing of hot liquid. The means of restraint may be the
manner of installation, such as connection to battery of appliances or installing the fryer in an
alcove, or by separate means, such as adequate ties (chains, straps, etc.).
A bracket has been
provided on the fryer back panel for this purpose.
NOTE:
The installation must be inspected after it is complete to ensure it meets the intent of
these instructions. The on-site supervisor and/or operator(s) should be informed that the
appliance is installed with restraints. If restraints are removed to move fryer (e.g., to clean
beneath and behind, to relocate) ensure that they are re-installed when fryer is returned to its
permanently installed position.
For information on fryer restraints, see
Section 2.8
.
3.4 Gas Connections
The gas supply (service) line must be the same size or greater than the fryer inlet line. YSCFH18G
gas fryers are equipped with a ¾-inch (22-mm) male inlet. The gas supply line must be sized to
accommodate all gas-fired equipment connected to that gas supply. Consult local gas
companies/suppliers or your local contractor for minimum supply line requirements.
Supply Line Specifications
The gas supply lines must be sized as indicated in the chart below, based on the total number of
fryers connected to the main gas supply.
Recommended Gas Supply Line Sizes

* When exceeding 18 feet (6 meters) for a configuration of more than four fryers, it is necessary to provide
a 1¼" (35 mm) rigid gas connection.
DANGER
All connections must be sealed with a joint compound suitable for the gas being
used and all connections must be tested with a solution of soapy water before
lighting any pilots.
Never use matches, candles, or any other ignition source to check for leaks. If gas
odors are detected, shut off the gas supply to the appliance at the main shut-off
valve and immediately contact the local gas company or an authorized service
agency for service.
