GAS CONNECTION
• A 3/4” male NPT line for the gas connection is located near the lower right rear corner of the
fryer. The serial plate (located inside the front door of the fryer) indicates the type of gas the
unit is equipped to burn (natural gas or propane). The fryer should be connected ONLY to the
type of gas for which it is equipped.
• A circuit diagram is located inside the front door of the fryer.
• All CPG equipment is adjusted at the factory; however, pilot height should be checked at
installation and adjusted if necessary.
• For orifice sizes and pressure regulator settings, see chart on pg. 5. If the fryer is being
installed at over 2.000 feet altitude and that information was not specified when ordered,
contact the appropriate authorized CPG Service Representative or the CPG Service
Department. Failure to install with proper orifice sizing will result in poor performance and
may void the warranty.
• If applicable, the vent line from the gas appliance pressure regulator shall be installed to the
outdoors in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, Natural Gas Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1, or the
Propane Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.2, as applicable .
• An adequate gas supply is imperative. Undersized or low pressure lines will restrict the
volume of gas necessary for satisfactory performance. A combination gas valve and pressure
regulator, which is provided with each unit, is set to maintain a 4”WC manifold pressure
for natural gas or 10”WC manifold pressure for propane gas. However, to maintain these
conditions, the pressure on the supply line, when all units are operating simultaneously, should
not drop below 7”WC for natural gas or 11”WC for propane gas. Fluctuations of more than
25% on natural gas or 10% on propane gas will create problems and affect burner operating
characteristics. A 1/8” tap to measure the manifold pressure is located on the combination gas
valve which is on the burner manifold located directly below the burners inside the cabinet.
• Purge the supply line to clean out dust, dirt, or other foreign matter before connecting the line
to the unit .
• It is recommended that an individual manual shutoff valve be installed in the gas supply line to
the unit .
• Use pipe joint compound that is suitable for use with both natural and LP gas on all threaded
connections .
CAUTION:
All pipe joints and connections must be tested thoroughly for gas leaks. Use only soapy water
for testing on all gases. Never use an open flame to check for gas leaks. All connections must be
checked for leaks after the unit has been put into operation. Test pressure should not exceed
14”WC.
