Description
An 18"-wide fry vat that runs on 43 lb. of oil, with a built-in filter underneath.
The Pitco SSHLV184R is a Solstice Supreme reduced oil volume (ROV) gas fryer with an 18" x 13.7" frying area. Pitco says it cooks like a 60 lb. fryer with 43 lb. of oil, a 25% cut in oil at every fill. It fires at 100,000 BTU/hr, comes with Pitco's 12-button Intellifry computer and a Solstice filter drawer in the cabinet, and its FILTER SOON monitor tells the crew when to filter. It suits chicken, fish and fries operations that want larger baskets and lower oil cost.

Delivery and setup
- Ships by freight carrier. See our shipping policy or call (201) 467-8222 for a freight quote to your ZIP code.
- Usually ships in 1 business day.
- Covered by our Best Price Guarantee.
- Have a qualified gas installer connect the rear gas manifold and plug the fryer and filter cords into 115V outlets, then start up following Pitco's installation manual (L20-407).
- Casters (9") are optional; a gas fryer on casters needs a flexible connector with quick disconnect and a restraining cable.
- Inspect every crate for shipping damage in front of the driver; Pitco requires shipping damage to be reported to the carrier right away.
Questions buyers ask
Is it natural gas or propane?
Pitco builds the SSHLV184R-C/FD for natural gas or propane, set at the factory for the gas type on the data plate. Tell us your gas type when you order, or call (201) 467-8222 before checkout.
What hookups does it need?
A gas supply to the rear manifold (natural gas 7" to 10" W.C.; propane 11" to 13" W.C.) and two 115V outlets: one for the fryers and one for the filter pump.
How much oil does it save?
Pitco says the SSHLV14 cooks like a 50 lb. fryer with 32 lb. of oil (about 40% less oil per fill) and the SSHLV184R like a 60 lb. fryer with 43 lb. (about 25% less). Filtering often is what keeps low-oil fryers running well.
Can I use solid shortening?
No. Pitco's spec sheet says the ROV filter system is not for use with solid shortening.
Where does fresh oil come from?
Top off by hand, or add Pitco's automatic top-off option; Pitco notes that on-board jug storage needs 2 or more fryers in a system.
What does the warranty cover?
Pitco's standard warranty covers parts and normal labor for 1 year from installation (up to 15 months from manufacture), and the stainless steel fry tank for 10 years from manufacture (labor and freight on the owner for the tank coverage).
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.
