Vulcan 1VK65DF Gas Fryer, 70 lb Vat, Floor Model, Natural Gas

The Vulcan POWERFRY5 21" Commercial Gas Fryer is a freestanding, natural gas fryer built for restaurant and commercial kitchen use. It combines a single stainless steel fry pot with digital controls and a 200°F to 390°F temperature range, making it suitable for high-volume frying of french fries, chicken, and other menu items.

The fryer measures 21" W x 30.12" D x 47.12" H and ships at 235 lb. Its cooking area is 14" deep by 19.5" wide, and the 70 lb oil capacity supports extended frying sessions. The Fivepass heat transfer system and 80,000 BTU output work together to maintain consistent oil temperatures during service.

A full port ball type drain valve with a 1.25" drain simplifies oil changes, while the Kleenscreen Plus two-sided mesh screen filter helps keep oil cleaner between changes. Electronic matchless ignition starts the burners without a standing pilot, and the hi-limit shut-off adds a safety layer. The unit sits on four adjustable casters, two of which lock, so staff can reposition it for cleaning or service.

The stainless steel body and tank resist daily wear in a commercial kitchen. Clearance requirements are 6" on the sides and rear, with 16" from adjacent open-top burner units. The fryer is CSA Design Certified and NSF Listed. It includes a 10-year warranty by the manufacturer.
