I’m a service tech in the St Louis region who works on all the same cooking equipment for the most part. Looks like we have similar restaurants. Just wondering what do you use to unscrew those drain valves when you have the assembly out. I use a massive socket set my company passes around for those jobs. Just wondering if you had a better way.
You mean to replace the drain valve itself? No trick sadly. a large pipe wrench. If it’s a single fryer I flip it on its back and I can work thru the bottom and have the room for the wrench. If it’s a self filtering fryer harbor freight sells a very large socket set that fits but I’ve seen the valve itself come unscrewed and disassemble instead of the whole valve unscrew.
Pitco in my opinion is NOT as reliable as Frymaster. The forced combustion from a Frymaster just takes so many variables out that I think they work a lot better. Pitco👎
@restaurantrepairs yeah I think that our local Pizza Hut uses one of those older pitcos, and I haven't had to do much to that one except to fix an oil leak and replace some seals for the oil pickup. Like with everything I guess, some things are great, some are not. I worked on a pretty old Frymaster yesterday, had bad connections on the flame sensor terminals which I personally had not seen before. I love your channel! We do a lot of the same work, maybe we should do a collab sometime. Keep up the great work!
Another happy customer I'm sure. 👍

As far as these smarter fryers I don’t disagree. BUT…. As for dumb millivolt fryers no better units than a Pitco SG14
