Mercator 65 lb 5 Tube Natural Gas Fryer | MF5N
Store details
3500 Woodland Ave.
Cleveland OH 44115
United States
The Mercator MF5N is a five-tube natural gas floor fryer with a 65 lb oil capacity and 150,000 BTU/hr of total output. Five burner tubes at 30,000 BTU each run through the oil, which is what gives this fryer its recovery speed when baskets go in back to back.
Where it fits
This is Mercator's largest gas fryer and the one built for peak demand: chicken restaurants, seafood houses, busy quick-service lines, and any kitchen running large batches where the oil has to come back to temperature fast. If your fry program is lighter or intermittent, the 3-tube MF3N (35 lb, 90,000 BTU) or 4-tube MF4N (45 lb, 120,000 BTU) will cost less to buy and less to run.

- 1 1/4" full port ball type drain valve for fast draining into a filter cart or shortening caddy.
- Twin fry baskets with plastic coated handles, plus heavy-duty basket hangers.
- Removable tube racks and stainless access panels, so boil-outs and service do not fight the cabinet.
- Casters sold separately. The fryer ships on legs.
Installation requirements
- Clearances: 6" at both sides and the rear from combustible construction.
- Adjacent equipment: NFPA 96 requires at least 16" between the fryer and surface flames from neighboring cooking equipment. Plan the line before you order.
- Hood: commercial fryers require a Type I hood with fire suppression. Your local fire inspector has final say.
