Inspecting the Gas Pressure Regulator

Some locations may choose to do this procedure on a more frequent basis (i.e., quarterly, semi-annually, or other frequency).

The gas pressure regulator on the gas control valve is factory set as follows:

• Natural: 3.5 inches water column (0.87 kPa)

• Propane: 10.0 inches water column (2.49 kPa)

To avoid personal injury or property damage, ensure gas pressure is set correctly.

NOTICE -

Gas pressure regulator has been set by manufacturer and should not be adjusted by user.

Measuring Gas Pressure

1. Locate the pressure tap hole or fitting on the side of the gas valve. Remove the pipe plug from the valve or fitting circled.

   

2. Screw a pressure tap fitting into the valve or the fitting on the side of the valve circled.

3. Place one end of a vacuum hose on the pressure tap fitting and the other end on the manometer as shown.

4. Turn the fryer “ON”.

5. Allow the fryer to reach full burn.

6. The pressure reading on the manometer should be 3.5” of water column for Natural gas and 10” of water column for LP gas.

7. Turn the fryer off.

8. Remove the pressure tap fitting.

9. Place the pipe plug back into the valve or the fitting on the valve.
