only on the type of gas specified by the user and indi-
cated on the serial plate located inside the door. The
gas may be natural, propane or manufactured. The
type of gas cannot be converted to another gas fuel by
turning or engaging a switch.
GAS CONNECTIONS AND PIPE SIZE
A single Keating Gas Fryer requires a standard gas
pipe size of 3/4 inch (19mm) I.D. connection. Multiple
fryers with a common manifold will require a minimum
of 1 1/4 inch I.D. gas supply line. The size of the gas
supply pipe is very important. If the pipe is too small
you will have low gas pressure at the Keating Gas
Fryer manifold. Low gas pressure will cause slow
recovery and/or delayed ignition. If you have a question
about gas pipe size call your local gas company.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN
Before connecting new pipe to the Keating Gas Fryer
the pipe must be blown out to remove all foreign parti-
cles. These particles in the controls or burners may
cause improper or dangerous operating conditions.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN
Pipe joint compounds that are used on threaded joints
of appliance piping shall be resistant to the action of liq-
uefied petroleum gases (Loctite PST 56765). When
using pipe joint compound do not apply to the first two
threads. Use only very small amount and only on male
threads. This will prevent clogging of burner orifices
and the gas valve. Never use compound on female
threads as it might be pushed into the gas valve.
Have your installer check for gas leaks using a soap
and water solution before operating. DO NOT USE AN
OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
1) The Keating Gas Fryer and its individual shut off
valves must be disconnected from the gas supply pip-
ing system during any pressure testing of that system
at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.45kPa) (13.84
in WC) High pressure can damage the gas valve caus-
ing a hazardous condition.
2.) The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply pip-
ing system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2
psi (3.45 kPa).
NOTE: Line pressure must be kept
below 10” (Nat), 13” (LP) to avoid
damage to the gas valve.
The required gas pressure for proper
operation of each fryer is 4" water col-
umn for natural gas and 10" water col-
umn for propane gas at the burner
manifold.
If more than one gas unit is on the same supply line,
you may require a larger line. Consult your local gas
company to assure adequate volume and pressure.
Refer to serial plate for proper gas requirement for your
particular model.
FLEXIBLE GAS CONNECTORS AND QUICK DIS-
CONNECT DEVICES
For an appliance equipped with casters:
The installation shall be made with a connector that
complies with the Standard for Connectors for Movable
Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 or the Standard for Con-
nectors for Moveable Gas Appliances, CAN/CGA-6.16,
and a quick disconnect device that complies with the
Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use With
Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41 or the Standard for Quick Dis-
connect Devices for Use with Gas Fuel, CAN1-6.9.
RESTRAINING DEVICES
1.) Adequate means must be provided to limit the
movement of the appliance without
depending on the connector and the
quick-disconnect device or its associ-
ated piping to limit the appliance
movement.
Fryer must also be restrained to pre-
vent tipping when installed so that hot
liquid splashing is avoided.
2.) The restraint means must be
attached to the rear of the Keating Gas Fryer within 2"
of the center line width and approximately 1-5/8" from
the bottom of the cabinet back to allow the restraining
bolt to be anchored to the cabinet back between the
cabinet bottom and inner liner.
IF DISCONNECTION OF THE RESTRAINT IS NEC-
ESSARY, IT MUST BE RECONNECTED WHEN THE
KEATING GAS FRYER IS RETURNED TO ITS ORIG-
INALLY INSTALLED POSITION.
INSTALLATION
The installer is responsible for attaching the tipping
restraint.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The Keating Gas Fryer, when installed, must be elec-
trically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in
the absence of local codes, the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70. or the Canadian Electrical
Code, CSAC-22.2 as applicable. A wiring diagram is
located on the last page. In the U.S.A. and Canada, the
electrical supply must be 120 VAC, 60
Hz.
WWAARRNNIINNGG
This appliance is equipped with a
three-prong 120 Volt NEMA 5-15
(grounding) plug for your protection
against shock hazard and should be
plugged directly into a properly
grounded and polarized three-prong
