Pitco FBG24 Gas Fryer - (1) 87 Lb Vat, Floor Model, Natural Gas

With a pilot flame that only needs to be lit once a day, the Pitco FBG24NG gas fryer works best in commercial kitchens that specialize in deep-fried, wet-batter foods. A large, open fry tank made of mild steel causes foods to float in oil, preventing batter from sticking or falling into the cold zone. This mechanism also reduces oil and food waste, so it can save money. Heated with natural gas, the fryer uses blower-free burner technology as a reliable heat source. Heat can be recovered quickly with once-a-day matchless ignition, so commercial kitchens with sporadic fried orders benefit from its design.

The Pitco FBG24NG gas fryer includes built-in features for safe performance. Gas flow is controlled by the integrated gas control valve, which serves as a manual valve, safety pilot valve, main valve, gas filter, and pressure regulator to ensure these areas operate properly. When the pilot flame is lit, the valve lets gas flow to the main burner, and it shuts off the flow automatically when the flame dies. Its temperature-limit switch prevents fryer temperatures from getting too high—it shuts off the fryer instantly if temperatures exceed the upper limit. The fryer also has a manual gas shutoff and rear gas connection.

Fryer accessories and details help reduce upkeep. Its cabinet front, door, side, and backsplash all are made of stainless steel for increased durability; the welded tank is coated with a smooth, peened finish that's easy to wipe down after use. Because it can hold 87 pounds of oil, several oil safety features are built into the fryer. A built-in flue deflector directs gas and exhaust to the fryer's hood to prevent overheating in the kitchen. Also, a removable flue splash guard comes with the fryer to keep oil from spilling over the fryer's sides and onto walls, the floor, or users. When ready to drain the oil, users can attach the drain extension to the front full-port drain to remove oil directly. When the drain valve is opened, the drain valve interlock switch shuts down the heating system to keep oil temperatures cool when drained. A drain line clean-out rod also comes with the fryer to clear clogged valves.
