Questions buyers ask
Is this fryer for natural gas or propane? Can it be converted?
The SGF-40L is the propane (LP) model, set up for 10 in. W.C.. The natural gas version is the SGF-40N. Serv-Ware does not list a conversion kit for this fryer, and its warranty excludes damage from improper gas conversion, so order the model that matches your gas supply.
What gas hookup does it need?
It has a ½" gas inlet and Serv-Ware calls for a ¾" gas hose. The 3 tubes burn 90,000 BTU/hr in total, so have a qualified gas installer confirm your line can supply that at 10 in. W.C..
Does it need a hood?
Serv-Ware's spec sheet does not list ventilation or clearance requirements. Commercial gas fryers are normally installed under a ventilation hood; follow your local fire and mechanical codes and the instruction manual supplied with the fryer.
Will it fit in my cook line?
Serv-Ware lists it at 15.5" wide, 30.2" deep and 46.5" high; the drawing shows 39.35" to the top of the back header and 34.75" to the front top edge. It stands on 6" stainless steel legs with 1" of adjustment.
How much oil does it hold, and how hot does it get?
The fry tank holds 40 lb. of oil. A thermostat sets the oil from 200°F to 400°F, and a cold zone below the tubes collects crumbs away from the heat.
How do I drain and clean it?
A 1-1/4" full-port drain valve empties the tank quickly, and the stainless tank has a peened finish. A drain tube rack is included. The warranty does not cover failures caused by missing cleaning or maintenance.
What does the warranty cover?
Serv-Ware covers parts and labor on the entire unit for 1 year from installation (up to 18 months from shipment) and the fry pot for 2 years (part only), in the United States and for commercial use. Warranty labor must be done by a qualified gas appliance service company.

Serv-Ware items usually ship the next 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.
