Description
A 70 lb natural gas fryer for fries, wings and fried fish in a 21" wide spot on the line.
The Dukers DCF5-NG is a floor fryer for restaurants, pizzerias and takeout kitchens running on natural gas. Five cast iron tube burners put 150,000 BTU into a 70 lb fry pot, and a temperature probe holds 200-400°F. The large cold zone collects crumbs below the frying area.

Dukers requires this fryer to be installed under a ventilation hood, with the bottom front kept clear for combustion air. For liquid propane, order the DCF5-LPG instead.
Even heat
Five cast iron tube burners (30,000 BTU each) give a large heat-transfer area, and the temperature probe reacts quickly when cold product goes in.
Cleaner oil
The large cold zone and forward-sloping bottom collect sediment away from the burners, and the whole fry pot can be wiped down by hand.
Safety controls
Dukers includes a millivolt safety control system on this fryer.
Tank warranty
Dukers backs the oil tank for 5 years, on top of 1 year parts and labor.

Questions buyers ask
Is this the natural gas or the propane version?
The DCF5-NG is the natural gas model, set for 4" W.C. supply pressure. The liquid propane version is the DCF5-LPG (10" W.C.).
How much oil does it hold, and how hot does it get?
70 lb of oil, with a thermostat range of 200-400°F.
Do I need a hood?
Yes. Dukers' manual says the unit must be installed under a ventilation hood and recommends a canopy extending 6" past the fryer.
What clearances does it need?
8" at the sides and 12" at the rear from combustible construction, 0" from non-combustible construction, and at least 16" from the open flames of nearby equipment unless a non-combustible divider at least 7" above the fryer is installed.
Does it come with casters?
It ships with legs. Casters are an optional extra (Dukers part 18.001.0003); a fryer on casters must also be restrained and connected with an approved flexible gas connector.
Are fry baskets included?
Dukers' drawing and photos show two twin baskets, but the spec sheet does not list baskets as included. Call us to confirm before ordering.
What does the warranty cover?
Dukers' spec sheet lists 1 year parts and labor and 5 years on the oil tank. Dukers' gas warranty requires installation by a professional gas installer and excludes residential use and equipment used outside the continental US.
When will it ship, and do you match lower prices?
It usually ships in 1 business day, shipping is free on this item, and it is covered by our Best Price Guarantee. Call (201) 467-8222 if you find a lower price.
