Description
The FryMAX VP122LPG is an LPG gas deep fryer built for high-throughput frying in commercial kitchens. It pairs a 22 L open stainless steel oil pot with a 104 MJ/h gas burner and a thermostat that holds 93–204°C, so oil recovers quickly between drops and stays on temperature through a busy service. A built-in cold zone collects crumbs and sediment below the burner, extending oil life, while a 232°C high-limit cut-out and standby pilot keep operation safe and easy to start.
Why operators choose the VP122LPG
-
22 L oil capacity — enough volume to batch-fry chips, schnitzels and crumbed seafood through peak service without constant top-ups.
-
104 MJ/h LPG burner — high gas input drives fast heat-up and rapid temperature recovery after each basket goes in.
-
Prompt-response thermostat, 93–204°C — tight control across the full frying range so product cooks consistently and oil isn't overheated.
-
Open pot with cold zone — sediment drops below the heat, cutting carbon build-up and helping oil last longer between changes.
-
232°C high-limit cut-out — an independent safety limit shuts gas off if the thermostat fails, protecting staff and the appliance.
-
Standby stainless steel pilot & millivolt valve — reliable, power-free ignition and control, ideal where a fixed power point isn't available.
-
Stainless steel front and sides — wipes down fast and stands up to a hard commercial environment.
-
Two frying baskets & 1/4" full-port drain valve — run two product lines at once and drain the pot cleanly at oil-change time.

Venue suitability
With 22 L of oil and a 104 MJ/h burner, the VP122LPG suits pubs, fish-and-chip shops, clubs and takeaway kitchens that fry steadily through service and need fast recovery between batches. Its slim 400 mm footprint lines up well in a gas cookline. It runs on LPG, so it is the right choice for sites on bottled gas or food trucks rather than venues plumbed only for natural gas.
Compare it against the rest of the range in our commercial deep fryers collection, or see the full FryMAX line-up for matched cooking equipment.
Installation & delivery
The VP122LPG connects to LPG via a 1/2" NPT rear gas inlet and must be installed and commissioned by a licensed gas fitter, with clearances to combustible surfaces observed. Dispatched Australia-wide from our Sydney HQ and partner warehouses in Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth. Backed by a 4-year warranty — 2 years parts and labour plus a further 2 years parts only with product registration.
Frequently asked questions
What is the oil capacity of the FryMAX VP122LPG?
The open stainless steel pot holds 22 L of oil, enough to batch-fry chips, crumbed seafood and schnitzels through a busy service before a top-up is needed.
What gas does it run on?
It runs on LPG only, with a 104 MJ/h input through a 1/2" NPT rear connection. It is suited to sites on bottled gas; it is not a natural-gas model.
What temperature range does the thermostat cover?
The prompt-response thermostat controls from 93°C to 204°C, and an independent 232°C high-limit cut-out shuts the gas off if the thermostat fails.
How big is it and will it fit my cookline?
It measures 400 mm wide × 784 mm deep × 1178 mm high on 6" stainless legs and weighs 80 kg, so it slots into a standard gas cookline run.
How do I keep the oil lasting longer?
The cold zone below the burner collects sediment so it doesn't carbonise. Regular straining and timely changes also help — see our guide on how often deep fryer oil should be changed.
How do I choose the right fryer for my kitchen?
Match oil capacity and gas input to your busiest service and your fuel supply. Our commercial deep fryer buying guide walks through capacity, recovery and gas-versus-electric trade-offs.
What warranty is included?
It carries 2 years parts and labour, plus a further 2 years parts only when you register the product — 4 years of cover in total.
