18 BB Fryer consists of a
frying vessel 18" sq., having a splash deck and a splash
back installed in a cabinet equipped with gas burners and

SPECIFICATIONS:
Frying Vessel: 
shall be constructed from 18 gauge
stainless steel, shall have a shortening capacity of 68
pounds, shall be equipped with four 18 gauge
horizontal heat transfer tubes spaced above the bottom
of the vessel so that the bottom is unheated and the
food particles collecting in this bottom zone are
unheated and therefore do not carbonize. The frying
vessel shall be polished to inhibit carbon build-up and
facilitate easy clean-up. 
The heat transfer tubes shall be
3" wide and 5" high. The bottom of the vessel shall slope
toward the front where it shall be equipped with a 1-1/4"
Teflon core
