Description
A compact 15" natural gas fryer that needs no electrical hookup.
The Pitco 35C+S is the base model of Pitco's economy tube-fired gas fryers, sized for restaurants, bars, delis and takeout counters with a small fry station. It holds 35-40 lb. of oil in a 14" x 14" frying area, heats with 3 tubes at 90,000 BTU/hr in total and holds 200°F to 400°F on a thermostat. A standing pilot and millivolt gas valve mean it runs without an electrical connection.

Measure every doorway and turn on the delivery path; the narrowest outside dimension is the 15-1/8" width. Pitco's manual lists a 9" floor clearance (provided by the legs), while its 40D sheet lists 6"; install on the legs or casters supplied, never curb-mounted.
90,000 BTU in 3 tubes
Three stainless steel heat-exchanger tubes with high-temperature alloy baffles heat the oil; Pitco rates it at about 50 lb. of fries per hour.
Deep cold zone
At least 20% of the oil sits below the tubes in a cold zone, so crumbs settle without burning and spoiling the oil.
No electricity required
A standing pilot and an integrated gas control valve (pilot, regulator, filter and safety shutoff) work without a power cord.
Safety shutoffs
Gas stops if the pilot goes out, and a high-limit switch shuts off all gas if the oil overheats.
Easy draining
A front 1-1/4" NPT drain, drain extension and clean-out rod empty the peened stainless tank quickly.
Delivery and setup
- Ships by freight carrier. See our shipping policy or call (201) 467-8222 for a freight quote to your ZIP code.

- Covered by our Best Price Guarantee.
- The 3/4" NPT gas connection is at the rear; have a qualified gas installer connect and start up the fryer following Pitco's installation manual.
- Casters are optional (6" swivel set). A fryer on casters must use a flexible connector with a quick disconnect and a restraining device, such as Pitco's B8003102 3/4" x 36" kit.
- Inspect the fryer for shipping damage in front of the driver; Pitco requires shipping damage to be reported to the carrier right away.
Questions buyers ask
Is this fryer for natural gas or propane? Can it be converted?
This listing is the natural gas model. Pitco builds the 35C+ for natural gas or propane, and the gas type is printed on the data plate inside the door. Pitco's manual says to contact the dealer if you need a different fuel type, so call us before ordering if you have propane.
What gas hookup does it need?
A 3/4" NPT connection at the rear, about 10-1/2" above the floor. Pitco calls for 7" to 10" W.C. natural gas supply pressure with all appliances running and no more than ½ PSI at the gas valve. Never reduce the line with an adapter.
Does it need a hood, and how close can it go to a wall?
Install it under a ventilation hood as your local code requires, with at least 18" between the flue and the hood intake. Keep 6" from combustible walls at the sides and back (0" from non-combustible construction) and 30" of aisle in front.
Will it fit in my cook line?
It is 15-1/8" wide, 30-5/16" deep and 47-1/4" high to the top of the flue, with the frying surface at 34". It stands on 6" adjustable legs.
Does it need electricity?
No. Pitco lists no electrical options for the 35C+: a standing pilot and millivolt gas valve run it, so there is no power cord.
How much does it fry?
The 14" x 14" frying area holds 35-40 lb. of oil and comes with two twin-size wire baskets. Pitco rates the 35C+ at 50.2 lb. of fries per hour.
What does the warranty cover?
Pitco's Original Economy Equipment Limited Warranty covers parts and normal labor for 1 year from installation, up to 15 months from manufacture, for commercial use (not homes). Food truck and mobile installations may void it.
When will it ship, and do you match lower prices?
It usually ships in 1 business day by freight carrier, and it is covered by our Best Price Guarantee. Call (201) 467-8222 if you find a lower price or need a freight quote.
