Estimated Time

30 Minutes to 1 Hour

Remove Filter Pan, Oil Top-off Tank and Condensate Tank (If PXE) from fryer.
Pull fryer out until the side panels can be removed; then remove both side panels.
Remove the two P-clips and mounting hardware.
Use a 3/4 in. wrench to loosen the 3/4 in. flexible line from both end fittings and remove.
Remove the fitting attached to the elbow coming out of the pump and discard.
Add one of FP01-170 to replace the fitting removed. This will allow the hard tube to connect to the pump. Ensure to add a food grade, stainless steel compatible pipe sealant to the threads.
Remove the two fittings and discard.
Install one FP01-280 into the check valve in place of the two fittings removed. No pipe sealant to be used.
Remove the two nuts holding the oil manifold bracket in place on the fryer. Depending on fits and tolerances of the assembled parts, it will be necessary to either remove the two clinch studs from that same bracket or remove the entire bracket and vertical square tube from the fryer.
Remove three bolts holding the existing bracket in place on the selector valve.
Loosely fasten together one bracket stud assembly to the weld assembly selector valve mounting bracket. The brackets can be fastened together by using locknuts.
Insert the open end of piece 159119 over the main inlet port of the selector valve.
Line up the three holes to the bracket, the existing selector valve bracket and the selector valve body.
Install and tighten the three bolts.
Loosen the bolt at the rear, bottom of the selector valve. Loosely fasten together the bracket stud assembly to one selector valve rear bracket.
Use two locknuts to secure brackets.
Insert the open end around the bolt at the rear of the selector valve and tighten bolt.
The oil manifold should now be loose in the fryer, held in place by the 1/2 in. flexible lines attached to the selector valve and the newly installed brackets. Do not fully tighten or secure the brackets at this time.
If necessary install the 3/8 in. NPT cap to formed tube assembly. Use a food grade steel compatible pipe sealant on the threads. Some fryers may have a pressure transducer attached to this tube, though it is not included in kit.
Loosely attach the assembly with the downward bend towards the pump, and the small tube protruding to the side towards the left side of the fryer and hand tighten. The position of the selector valve can be adjusted in space slightly to allow easier fitup of the hard tube.
Ensure the flex tubes are not being bent, pushed against something and the rear weights / lid carrier rack is able to move freely (selector valve cannot go toward the back of the fryer).
Attach the selector valve assembly to the frame through the front and rear bracket stud assemblies using four self-drilling screws. The exact placement of the bracket on the frame is NOT critical, and is designed to be flexible, based on tolerances encountered in tightening fittings, slight differences in the bending of the hard tube, etc. Ensure clearance of the 1/2 in. flexible tubes, fittings and the formed tube to position the selector valve and brackets.
Securely tighten fittings on both ends of the formed tube assembly.
This completes installation, now ensure all fittings are tight, re-install the fryer side panels, and place the fryer back into service, after checking for any leaks.
