Connecting the Fryer to the
Gas Supply
1. Ask your local gas company to advise you
on the size of pipe and gas meter you should
use.
2. Connect the fryer to the building’s gas
supply.
3. Seal all threaded joints between gas pipes
with pipe joint compound. You must use a
compound that resists the action of liquefied
petroleum (LP) gases.
4. Bleed the gas lines of all air.
5. Check all gas connections and fittings for
leaks using a gas leak detector, a soap
solution, or a similar substance. When such
a substance is applied to connections and
fittings, bubbles indicate gas leaks.
