Pitco FBG24 Gas Fryer – (1) 87 lb Vat, Floor Model

The Pitco FBG24 gas fryer keeps oil hot for long uses, making it a perfect match for commercial kitchens. Constructed with a durable stainless steel design, the fryer features a slew of practical features for best performance. Its high-heat transfer is possible through blower-free burner technology. The fryer’s pilot flame only needs to be ignited once a day, preventing a turn-off, turn-on cycle; instead, it can reheat quickly, and fry cooks can churn out orders one after another. The matchless ignition, which is possible via the solid-state temperature controller, prevents common wear and recovers heat fast. Because it’s a gas-powered fryer, several mechanisms are in place to ensure it works smoothly. An integrated gas control valve protects against high-heat gas and prevents gas flow to the burner if the pilot flame goes out. In total, the valve works as a manual valve, safety pilot valve, gas filter, and pressure regulator. Behind the fryer’s front door, a temperature controller includes an automatic melt cycle, system indicator lights, and a power switch.

The Pitco FBG24 gas fryer can hold 87 pounds of oil, so oil drainage and tank maintenance are necessary. Its drain extension connects with a front full-port drain to funnel oil out of the tank after use. If the drain is clogged, a drain line clean-out rod can be used to remove the obstruction. A drain valve interlock switch works alongside the drain valve, shutting off the fryer’s heating system when the valve is opened. Other built-in accessories boost the fryer’s performance, such as the removable flue splash guard that keeps hot oil from splashing out onto the wall, floor, or user. Heat and exhaust are directed through its hood with the integrated flue deflector, keeping kitchen temperatures down. A simple marine front edge is included to keep wet-batter trays in place.

Overall maintenance is simple due to the fryer’s stainless steel construction. The cabinet front, door, side, backsplash, and welded tank all are made of stainless steel and are easy to wipe down. Even the fryer’s interior can be deep cleaned: The hinged front door opens for full access inside the tank.
