Product Overview
Vulcan LG400 45-50 lb Gas Floor Fryer - 120,000 BTU - Natural Gas
The LG400 commercial fryer requires fewer BTUs resulting in lower operating costs for your restaurant.
This freestanding model fryer is available in 45-50 lb oil capacity with 120,000 BTU. It includes twin fry baskets with plastic coated handles and drain extension. This natural gas fryer has a large "V" shaped cold zone and 1 1/4" port ball valve that helps preserve oil used in the fryer by catching leftover food particles and cooling them, which prevents them from burning and tainting the oil. A door snap action millivolt thermostat control allows the temperature to be adjusted from 200° to 400°F. This helps in avoiding the requirement of an electric hook-up.
The LG400 is constructed with a stainless steel front top and reinforced door. The stainless steel fry tank has a five five-year limited tank warranty. To ensure the door is closed properly an earth magnet has been used. A door liner has also been added for added stability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Vulcan LG400 45-50 lb Natural Gas Floor Fryer require an electrical hookup?
No. The Vulcan LG400 45-50 lb Natural Gas Floor Fryer runs entirely on a millivolt thermostat control system, which uses a standing pilot to power the thermostat with no electricity required. This makes placement more flexible in kitchens where running a dedicated electrical line to the fry station is inconvenient.
What is the BTU rating and oil capacity of the Vulcan LG400 45-50 lb Natural Gas Floor Fryer?
Delivering 120,000 BTU through three heat exchanger tubes, the Vulcan LG400 45-50 lb Natural Gas Floor Fryer holds between 45 and 50 lbs of oil in a 14" x 14" stainless steel fry tank. This combination keeps recovery times short when cooking back-to-back batches during peak service.
How does the cold zone on the Vulcan LG400 45-50 lb Natural Gas Floor Fryer extend oil life?
The large V-shaped cold zone at the base of the tank pulls crumbs and food particles down away from the frying zone. The Vulcan LG400 45-50 lb Natural Gas Floor Fryer keeps those particles below the active heat, preventing them from carbonizing and contaminating the oil, which directly extends oil life and improves food quality.
Which certifications does the Vulcan LG400 45-50 lb Natural Gas Floor Fryer carry for Canadian commercial use?
The Vulcan LG400 45-50 lb Natural Gas Floor Fryer holds CSA Design Certification, CSA Blue Flame Certification for Canadian gas standards, and NSF listing, covering it for commercial kitchen use across Canadian foodservice health inspection requirements.
What are the critical warnings for operating the Vulcan LG400 45-50 lb Natural Gas Floor Fryer safely?
Key points every operator should know: The hi-limit safety shuts off both the gas valve and the standing pilot if oil temperature exceeds safe limits; this must be manually reset by a technician, not bypassed. Never fill the Vulcan LG400 45-50 lb Natural Gas Floor Fryer beyond the maximum oil fill mark; overfilling causes dangerous boilover. Do not add water or wet food directly to hot oil; this causes violent spattering. The millivolt thermostat is located behind the door; keep that area clear of grease buildup.
How do you properly clean and maintain the Vulcan LG400 45-50 lb Natural Gas Floor Fryer?
Drain oil through the 1-1/4" ball valve into a proper filtration or disposal container, then remove and clean the stainless steel basket hanger. Boil-out the Vulcan LG400 45-50 lb Natural Gas Floor Fryer periodically using a commercial fryer cleaner to remove carbon deposits; do not use abrasive pads on the stainless steel tank.
What warranty does the Vulcan LG400 45-50 lb Natural Gas Floor Fryer carry?
Vulcan-Hart warrants the LG Series free from defects in materials and workmanship for 1 year from the original installation date. The stainless steel fry tank of the Vulcan LG400 45-50 lb Natural Gas Floor Fryer carries a separate 5-year limited tank warranty. If a tank leak is verified by an authorized service agency within the first year, the entire fryer unit will be replaced.
