ASSEMBLY

The fryer must be restrained to prevent tipping and the splashing of hot liquid. The means

of restraint may be the manner of installation, such as connection to a battery of

appliances, installing the fryer in an alcove, or by separate means such as adequate ties.

FLUE CONNECTION

Make the flue connection as follows:

 Comply with Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment, ANSI-NFPA

Standard #96 (latest edition), available from the National Fire Protection

Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

 Locate the fryer under a hood with adequate connection to an exhaust

duct. The hood must extend 6” (15 cm) beyond fryer on both sides.

 Clearance above the fryer should be adequate for combustion byproducts

to be removed efficiently.

 An 18” (46 cm) minimum clearance should be maintained between the flue

vent and the filters of the hood venting system.

 Never make flue connections directly to the fryer.

 Do not obstruct the flow of the gases from the appliance. Proper air

balance should be maintained in the room.

 Ensure that your ventilation system does not cause a down draft at the fryer’s flue

opening. Down drafts will not allow the fryer to exhaust properly and will cause

overheating which may cause permanent damage. Damage caused by down drafts

will not be covered under equipment warranty. NEVER allow anything to obstruct

the flue of combustibles or ventilation exiting from the fryer flue. DO NOT put

anything on top of flue area.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Electrical Grounding Instructions:

absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the

Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.2, as applicable.

Electrical diagram located on inside of door.

VHG SERIES GAS FRYERS

VULCAN F-47679 Rev. A (3-20)

-8-

GAS CONNECTION

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.

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 3.5” W.C. (Water Column) (0.87

kPa) for natural gas and 10” W.C. (2.49 kPa) for propane gas. 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/CGA-

6.16, and a quick-disconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick-

VHG SERIES GAS FRYERS

VULCAN F-47679 Rev. A (3-20)

-9-

Disconnect Devices for Use with Gas Fuel, ANSI z21.41.CSA 6.9 or Quick-

Disconnect 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.

If using casters, lock the wheels after unit is level.
