The size of the gas line used for installation is very important. If the line is too small, the gas pressure at the burner manifold will be low. This may cause slow recovery and delayed ignition. Frymaster recommends the incoming gas supply line be a minimum of 1 ½” (38mm) in diameter. Refer to the chart below for the minimum sizes of connection piping. Gas Connection Pipe Sizes (Minimum incoming pipe size should be 1½” (38 mm)) Gas Single Unit 2-3 Units Natural ¾” (19 mm) 1” (25 mm) Propane
