Vulcan VFRY18F Gas Fryer, 50 lb Vat, Floor Model, Liquid Propane

The Vulcan VFRY18 is a freestanding commercial gas fryer built for restaurant and commercial kitchen use. It runs on liquid propane and delivers 70,000 BTU through a single fry pot, making it suitable for operations that need steady output from one tank. The cabinet is stainless steel in a silver finish, and the unit ships with standard legs for floor placement.

The fry pot holds 50 pounds of oil and uses a threepass heat transfer system to move heat through the tank. Electronic ignition starts the burner, and a solid state control manages the cooking cycle. Two fryer baskets are included for separating batches, and the tank is stainless steel.

A full port ball type drain valve with an interlock switch sits at the bottom of the tank, and the drain measures 1.25 inches. The Kleenscreen Plus fabric envelope filter supports oil management during service. Safety features include a hi-limit shut-off and the drain valve interlock switch. The unit measures 18 inches wide, 40 inches deep, and 48.37 inches high, with a shipping weight of 215 pounds.

The gas connection is a 1 1/4 inch front gas manifold with a 3/4 inch rear connection that is capped. Clearance from combustibles is 10 inches at the rear and sides, and 16 inches for open-top models. The fryer is CSA Design Certified and NSF Listed. It includes a 5-year warranty by the manufacturer.
