20 Qt Commercial Propane Fryer
This 20 Qt stainless steel fryer delivers 90,000 BTU of propane heating power for commercial deep frying. It holds up to 40 lb of oil and operates across a 122°F to 375°F temperature range. Three cast iron burners with built-in deflectors provide even heat distribution. Nickel-plated baskets with vinyl-coated handles complete the unit.
40 lb Oil Capacity Decides Volume
The 40 lb oil capacity determines how much food can be fried in a single batch. Operators needing higher throughput per load will find this limit restrictive. Kitchens producing smaller orders or using multiple fryers may find the capacity adequate. Buyers who want more oil volume per vat should consider larger capacity models.
Requires Propane Supply and Drain Access
The fryer needs a propane gas connection and a 1-1/4 in. drain port for oil changes. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in busy kitchen environments. The front drain simplifies oil removal without moving the heavy unit. Vinyl basket handles protect staff during repeated lifting. Ensure ventilation and gas supply meet local codes before installation.

Questions about this item
What does the 90,000 BTU rating mean for daily cooking speed?
The three cast-iron burners deliver 90,000 BTU total, so the oil reaches frying temperature quickly and recovers fast between batches.
The spec says natural gas connection is required — what pressure does the unit actually need?
The fryer is built for a standard natural-gas supply; a licensed installer will set the regulator to the pressure listed on the rating plate.
How much clearance and floor space does the 20-quart stainless body need?
The cabinet is designed for commercial counter or floor mounting; allow side and rear clearance for the 1-1/4-inch front drain port and gas hookup.
