The Vulcan LG500 Economy Gas Floor Fryer is a powerful, high-capacity solution designed to meet the needs of busy commercial kitchens and foodservice operations. Built with both performance and durability in mind, this unit provides a generous 65 to 70 lb. oil capacity, making it ideal for cooking large batches of customer favorites such as French fries, onion rings, chicken wings, and jalapeño poppers. Whether you're outfitting a new restaurant or upgrading an existing kitchen, the LG500 offers an efficient, dependable frying solution at an accessible entry-level price.
Crafted with a stainless steel front, top, reinforced door, and fry tank, the Vulcan LG500 is built to withstand heavy daily use in high-demand environments. The fry tank features three heat exchanger tubes for excellent heat distribution and rapid recovery times, which helps keep up with continuous cooking. A large cold zone beneath the heat tubes collects crumbs and sediment, preserving oil quality longer and reducing flavor transfer between batches. The fryer is fueled by natural gas, with an impressive 150,000 BTU/hr input for high-performance cooking, and is also available in a liquid propane version to fit your facility’s fuel source.
User-friendly features include a snap action millivolt thermostat located behind the door, allowing precise temperature control from 200°F to 400°F. The fryer uses a millivolt control system that requires no electrical hookup, providing flexibility for various kitchen layouts. For added safety, the fryer includes a hi-limit shut-off protector that will automatically stop gas flow and extinguish the pilot in case the oil temperature exceeds safe limits.
The LG500 is thoughtfully designed with practical accessories and easy maintenance in mind. It comes equipped with two nickel-plated fry baskets featuring comfortable, plastic-coated handles, a nickel-plated tube rack, and a removable stainless steel basket hanger that allows for quick cleanup. The 1-1/4" full port ball-type drain valve ensures fast and efficient draining of used oil, while the built-in flue deflector helps direct exhaust safely and reduces kitchen heat buildup. Adjustable nickel-plated legs ensure stability and allow for easy leveling on uneven floors.
The fryer’s side and back panels are finished in a G90 high-grade galvanized, corrosion-resistant material for long-term durability. A door liner adds structural integrity, and an earth magnet helps keep the door securely shut during operation. With NSF, CSA Star, and CSA Flame certifications, this unit meets rigorous safety and sanitation standards for commercial use.
Vulcan backs the LG500 with a one-year limited parts and labor warranty. Additionally, the stainless steel fry tank is covered by a five-year limited warranty, and if a leak is confirmed by an authorized service provider during the first year, the entire fryer may be eligible for replacement. This commitment to quality and support makes the Vulcan LG500 an excellent investment for restaurant owners looking for reliability, safety, and high-volume frying performance.
