  • CF75 no gas flow

    Posted by guest on May 15, 2015 at 12:00 am

    I have a CF75 quick connect on a fryer that quit allowing gas to flow through it.  I am wondering if there is a piece missing that depresses the plunger when the hose is connected to the valve. I have replaced the valve with a standard ball valve for now and unit is working fine.

    Hey a_roach, I took one of those apart at work today because of your post.  I had to see for myself.  Looking at Dormont’s website, they call that device their “Safety Quik Quick-Disconnect Valve”, as you probably knew.

     

    Sure enough, it did NOT have that plastic insert (serving as a thermal shutoff) such as those we’re used to finding in the nipple of a basic quick-disconnect.

     

    I’m guessing the thermal shutoff is incorporated into the valve body somehow.  Dormont’s website and literature isn’t very helpful in that regard.

     

    I’d recommend going back with a basic quick-disconnect (Dormont calls that their “SnapFast).  That’s what we’re doing.  They’re simpler, cheaper and easier to get apart.  I had to use tools to persuade that Safety Quik valve apart.  They don’t take grease buildup very well since the grease tends to begin resembling glue.

    The nipple pushes a collar back against two plastic pins (melting safety) to open the female half. pin’s break inside. This is a very old post, but Ectofix has it right.
