Refer to the data plate on the inside of the fryer door to verify that the fryer burner is configured for the proper type of gas before connecting the gas line quick-disconnect device or piping from the gas supply line. 3.
J1C, J1X, & J2X MASTER JET SERIES GAS FRYERS CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS The size of the gas line used for installation is very important. If the line is too small, the gas pressure at the burner manifold will be low. This may cause slow recovery and delayed ignition. The incoming gas supply line should be a minimum of ½" (13 mm) in diameter. Refer to the chart below for the minimum sizes of connection piping.
J1C, J1X, & J2X MASTER JET SERIES GAS FRYERS CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS DANGER All connections must be sealed with a joint compound suitable for the gas being used and all connections must be tested with a solution of soapy water before lighting any pilots.
