1.6.7 Replacing a <strong>Gas</strong> Valve<br />
DANGER<br />
Drain the frypot or remove the h<strong>and</strong>le from the drain valve before proceeding further.<br />
1. Disconnect the fryer from the electrical <strong>and</strong> gas supplies.<br />
2. Disconnect the drain safety <strong>and</strong> high-limit thermostat wires from the gas valve. Mark each wire<br />
to facilitate reconnection.<br />
3. Remove the vent tube (on non-CE fryers) <strong>and</strong> the enrichment tube fitting from the valve.<br />
Disconnect the flexible gas line(s).<br />
If replacing the left-most valve on any configuration, or the right valve on a two-fryer battery,<br />
follow the instructions below. If replacing valves in other positions, skip to “ALL OTHER<br />
VALVES.”<br />
A. Remove the filter pan from the unit. Remove the door adjacent to the valve being replaced.<br />
B. Remove the five screws on the front face of the pan rail assembly adjacent to the valve being<br />
replaced. Remove the nut <strong>and</strong> bolt securing the rear end of the rail to the cabinet.<br />
C. Remove the two nuts <strong>and</strong> bolts immediately behind the front face of the pan rail assembly. Pull<br />
the assembly from the unit to gain access to the pipe union on the gas line.<br />
D. Uncouple the pipe union <strong>and</strong> remove the gas valve <strong>and</strong> associated piping from the unit.<br />
E. Remove the fittings <strong>and</strong> associated piping from the failed valve <strong>and</strong> install them on the<br />
replacement valve using Loctite ® PST56765 or equivalent pipe thread sealant.<br />
F. Reconnect the gas valve assembly to the fryer using Loctite ® PST56765 or equivalent pipe<br />
thread sealant, <strong>and</strong> reattach the flexible gas line(s), enrichment tube(s), <strong>and</strong> the vent tube (on<br />
non-CE units). Reconnect the high-limit thermostat wires <strong>and</strong> drain safety wires to the valve.<br />
G. Reconnect the fryer to the gas supply <strong>and</strong> open the cut off valve. Apply a solution of soapy<br />
water around each connection to check for gas leaks. Eliminate any that are found.<br />
H. Position the pan rail assembly beneath the fryer <strong>and</strong> rest the rear end of the rail on the cabinet<br />
frame. Install the two nuts <strong>and</strong> bolts behind the front face of the rail, but do not tighten them.<br />
Install the nut <strong>and</strong> bolt at the rear end of the filter rail <strong>and</strong> tighten securely.<br />
I. Install the five screws in the front face of the rail, but do not tighten them. Install the filter pan<br />
in the unit to make sure that all components are properly aligned; then, securely tighten the<br />
remaining bolts <strong>and</strong> screws.<br />
J. Reconnect the fryer to the electrical power supply <strong>and</strong> check for proper operation. When proper<br />
operation has been verified, reinstall the door removed in Step A.<br />
