Integrated Gas Control Valve

This model features an integrated gas control valve that acts as a manual and pilot valve and prevents gas from flowing to the main burner until the pilot is established. It shuts off the gas automatically in case the pilot flame goes out. Plus, as an added safety feature, the temperature limit switch automatically turns off the gas if the fryer exceeds the upper temperature limit of 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Durable Construction

A stainless steel cabinet front and door along with the galvanized sides and back make this fryer a great choice for commercial environments. The tank is made of stainless steel for greater durability, corrosion resistance, and a longer product life.

Two Fry Baskets

This fryer comes with two nickel plated oblong fry baskets so that you can get started cooking right away! Plus, the twin baskets are great for smaller portions or cooking different types of foods at the same time.

Removable Basket Hanger

The basket hanger provides a convenient place for baskets to drain after cooking. It is also completely removable without the use of tools for when you need to thoroughly clean your fryer at the end of the day.

4 Tube-Style Burners

4 tube-style burners heat the oil in this fryer's tank. Also, this unit has a tube rack that allows crumbs and other debris to fall into the cool zone during cooking for easier cleaning later on.

Built-In Flue Deflector

This fryer features a built-in integrated flue deflector to direct hot gases out through your ventilation system.

1 1/4" Drain

The drain ensures that you can quickly and easily drain away used oil for disposal.

Adjustable Legs

The adjustable 6" legs mean that you can keep your fryer level and stable on uneven floors.

Frequently Asked Questions From Customers

My business is at a high elevation; does this change anything when I order gas cooking equipment?
Many gas equipment manufacturers need to make adjustments to the equipment so it operates correctly at elevations over 2,000 feet. Sometimes we can special order from the manufacturer and have your cooking equipment delivered ready-to-go, but in cases where your unit is in stock and waiting to ship, you’ll need to have a qualified service technician come to your location and alter your unit at the time of installation so that it is compatible with a higher elevation. Contact our Special Orders team prior to placing your order, and we will let you know what will work best for the equipment you are planning to purchase.

Customers Say

Customers appreciate the fryer's fast heat recovery and reasonable price, but note that the pot depth is shallower than expected, which may affect usage during high-volume periods. Delivery experiences vary, with some facing delays. Overall, the fryer is easy to clean and install.

Purchased two of these fryers in August 2020. Much like the reviewer before me, I am also having issues with flames shooting out the flue with both fryers. The gas is not burning off the right way, my staff is having a terrible time dealing with breathing in the fumes emitted by the fryers, and my kitchen is covered in soot. I've been in contact with the warranty company already and was told it was a propane issue. I made all the recommended changes to my facility and STILL the fryers are not working right. Stay away from this model.

We appreciate your review, Ben. We wish this Pitco® 65C+S Liquid Propane 65-80 lb. Stainless Steel Floor Fryer would have worked out for you. Our Customer Solutions team will remain in contact with you about this.

Stay away from this fryer 65c+s. I purchased 2 fryers. Worked great for 5 months after that. Flames coming out chimney/flue built up a lot of soot. Even after cleaning and vacuuming the burners and adjusting propane pressure still had the same issue. 3 different companies came out with over 100 years of experience combined. No tech could figure out the issue.

Normally happy with this brand fryer, but not this time. It's had issue after issue and now I can't use it at all. Spent hundreds on repair, even Pitco couldn't tell me the problem. Shoots flames out of front and rear of unit.

We purchased this fryer because it fits perfectly in the small space we had available. It's quite impressive with features included are adjustable legs,magnetic latching access door, included threaded removalable oil drain spout makes for easy maintence and clean up . I would have to say it heats up rapidly and produces tator tot orders on demand. We made the purchase of the side guards it keeps your other equipment much cleaner and it makes the unit look even more commercial/professional than it already is.. THANKS TO WEBSTAURANT QUICK SHIPPING LOWEST PRICE and excellent customer service as well.

Love, Love, Love this little floor fryer. I upgraded from a cheap "other brand" fryer that had no temperature control and boy what a difference it has made. I Love that I can fire this up, set the temperature and go all day. I choice the Pitco brand for their reputation and because it's Made In the USA. Installation was a breeze. This unit is easy to setup and clean out. Everything we cook comes out great. The baskets are big and sturdy and easy to turn out food on completion. Price was excellent.

Warning... You will got NO warrantee help out of Webstraunt. They would not even contact Pitco. I had to do it all myself. Basically Webstraunt takes your money, and they are done. For an item such as this one should probably purchase from a local supplier.

The Pitco Floor Fryer is no joke, warms up quickly and is easy to clean up. Our restaurant makes a lot of onion rings, french fries and other fried foods and this fryer helps cook them quickly and evenly.

Very solid fryers, be wary of order times and deliveries. Just confirm with your sales associate that they will be shipping as we had a little delays.

We had our previous Pitco fryers for 23 years, and needed to replace them because our service man told us we had a small pot leak on both pots. The fryers still worked fine but we wanted to be safe so we ordered these, which appeared to be the most comparable to what we had size-wise and were reasonable in price compared to every other site and supplier I could find. There was a shortage for some reason so from the time I decided I wanted these to the time of purchase was around a month, but that wasn't Webstaurant's fault. The delivery went smoothly and they actually arrived a little earlier than we expected. We were able to install them in a few hours, pretty simple process, although we did have our plumber do it. We have two units side by side, and the previous ones ended up with so Read More
