Pitco SG14-2FD Solstice Gas Fryer System, 2 Full Pot Tanks, 40-50 lb Each, 220,000 BTU, Filter Drawer
Pitco SG14-2FD — Solstice Gas Fryer System, 2 Full Pot Tanks with Filter Drawer
The SG14-2FD pairs two SG14 full pot tanks with a built-in filter drawer in one battery. Each tank holds 40 to 50 lb of oil over a 14" x 14" fry area and fires at 110,000 BTU/h — 220,000 BTU/h across the system. Pitco's Solstice Burner Technology is blower free and uses no ceramics, and both tanks run on millivolt controls, so the fryers themselves need no power cord.
Key Features of the SG14-2FD
A two-bank fryer with onboard filtration has to do three things well: recover fast between drops, filter oil without moving it anywhere, and shut gas off by itself when something goes wrong. These are the parts that decide that.
Solstice Burner Technology, Blower Free
A dependable blower free atmospheric heating system provides fast recovery across a variety of food products. There is no blower and there are no ceramics to replace.
Burner and Baffle Design
Pitco states that the Solstice burner and baffle design increases cooking production, lowers flue temperature and improves the working environment compared with previous models.
Filter Drawer with 1/3 HP Pump
A welded heavy-duty stainless steel filter pan and a 1/3 HP motor and pump assembly move 8.0 GPM (30.3 LPM) at 115 V, so oil is filtered under the fryers instead of being carried to a cart.
Large Filter Media Area
The media area is sized for filtering heavily breaded products, and special pan stabilizer legs let the pan move over rubber mats without catching.
Millivolt Thermostat, 200°F to 400°F
Each tank has a millivolt thermostat covering 200°F to 400°F with a thermo-safety pilot and built-in regulator. Millivolt controls need no electrical supply at the fryer.
Safety Pilot and High Limit Switch
A thermo-safety pilot and a high temperature safety limit switch are standard, and separate manual gas shutoffs let a tank be isolated from the front for servicing.
Installation note: Pitco specifies 30" minimum front clearance and 6" minimum floor clearance; from combustible construction, 6" at the sides and 6" at the rear, and 0" from non-combustible construction. Do not block or restrict flue gases from flowing into the hood, and do not install vent hood drains over the flue. The rear gas tee manifold is supplied to the left and is field reversible to the right.
Ideal Applications
Two full pot tanks and a drawer filter suit any kitchen that fries through a shift and cannot stop to move hot oil.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much oil does the SG14-2FD hold?
Each SG14 tank holds 40 to 50 lb (18 to 23 kg) of oil, so the two-tank system holds up to 100 lb in total.
How much gas does the SG14-2FD use?
Each SG14 tank is rated 110,000 BTU/h, for 220,000 BTU/h across the system. Natural gas needs a 7 to 10" w.c. store supply at a 4" w.c. burner manifold; propane needs 11 to 13" w.c. at a 10" w.c. manifold.
Do the fryers need an electrical connection?
No. The fryers use millivolt controls and take no power cord. Only the filter needs power: 115 V, single phase, 60 Hz at 7 A, through one cord at the filter location.
How does the filter drawer work?
A welded heavy-duty stainless steel filter pan sits under the fryers and a 1/3 HP motor and pump assembly moves 8.0 GPM (30.3 LPM). It takes an 18-1/2" x 20-1/2" filter paper envelope, supplied 100 sheets per package.
What clearances does the SG14-2FD need?
30" at the front and 6" at the floor as a minimum. From combustible construction, 6" at the sides and 6" at the rear; from non-combustible construction, 0" at both. The flue must not be blocked or restricted.
How does the SG14 compare to the SG18?
The SG14 has a 14" x 14" fry area, holds 40 to 50 lb of oil and fires at 110,000 BTU/h. The SG18 has an 18" x 18" fry area, holds 75 lb and fires at 140,000 BTU/h. Both share a 3-1/4" to 5" cook depth, and SG14, SG18 and BNB units can be combined in one battery.
