Pitco SSH55-2FD Gas Fryer - (2) 50 lb Vats, Floor Model, NG

The 1 1⁄4-inch full-port drain valve in the Pitco SSH55-2FD gas fryer is designed for fast and efficient oil removal, reducing downtime between batches. Built for natural gas operation, this floor model fryer is part of the Solstice Supreme™ series and includes two full-size frypots, each capable of holding 40 to 50 pounds of oil, for a total of 100 pounds. The matchless ignition system eliminates the need for an open flame by automatically lighting the pilot when the fryer is powered on. Solid-state controls ensure precise temperature adjustments, while the boil-out and melt cycle assist with oil breakdown and preparation. A tube rack collects food debris and directs crumbs into a cool zone to help maintain oil quality. The self-cleaning burner minimizes carbon buildup, and downdraft protection keeps burner operation stable.

The stainless steel tank, front, and sides of the Pitco SSH55-2FD fryer provide lasting durability and corrosion resistance for commercial kitchens. The fryer is supported by 10-inch adjustable legs for stability and easy access for cleaning. The filter pan, made of stainless steel, is equipped with rear wheels for mobility, and a removable basket hanger allows for tool-free cleaning. Each frypot measures 14 inches by 14 inches with a cook depth of 3 1⁄4 to 5 inches. The under-fryer filtration drawer system improves oil circulation and removal, while the rear oil return system helps remove debris from the frypot bottom before oil is recirculated. The 8-gpm filter pump accelerates the filtration process, ensuring consistent frying quality. Manual gas shutoffs are positioned at the front for easy maintenance, and an integrated flue deflector manages heat dispersion.
