I figured this might be something to ask in the heating forum since it is in relation to heating and Lpg.
I found this outside at the neighbors near the woods in a pile of random farm stuff and they let me haul it off. It is a Royal RFS-40 commercial deep fryer. I figured it'd be good in the garage for football games and also fit behind the bar.
What type and size of line is typically run to a 105,000 BTU/HR appliance such as this? I'm assuming typical threaded black steel piping but not quite sure if there's a size requirement. Our home furnace and water heater both run off a 3/8" ID copper line so I would imagine 1/2" or 3/4" would be more than adequate. I'd like to run a small 20# tank to it but I'm wondering if a small tank puts out enough fuel to keep this device operating properly. 1 gallon of LPG appears to put out somewhere around 90k BTU but are there other factors involved such as the pressure? I can get a 100# tank if needed.
This sticker appears to show that manifold(?) Pressure is regulated at 11.0 (psi?). I haven't looked to see if something like this has an internal regulator or if perhaps I need an external or secondary unit on the tank itself. I was unable to find a manual online. And if manifold psi is 11.0 and the LPG line is only 8ft or less, what would the regulator pressure need to be set at?
