Pitco A1105404-C Fryer Basket Hanger W/ Keyhole Mounts 16 1/8", 19 9/16" X 7 3/8"

Basket Support:
Provides a stable contact point for the fryer basket after it is removed from the cooking oil. The hanger supports the basket's weight while keeping it positioned securely above the fry tank. This elevated position allows the basket to remain stationary during the draining period, reducing unnecessary movement while operators prepare the cooked food for transfer. Proper support also helps maintain consistent basket placement between frying cycles.

Load Support:
Provides a structural support point for the fryer basket and its contents during normal fryer operation. The hanger transfers the supported load from the basket to the corresponding fryer structure while helping maintain stable basket positioning. Its support function accommodates the basket's weight and helps keep the basket securely suspended within the intended fryer configuration.

Replacement Guidelines:
Replacing the Gas Fryer Basket Hanger is appropriate if it is bent, cracked, broken, damaged, excessively worn, or otherwise deteriorated. Verify the PITCO part number A1105404-C and the complete fryer model number before replacement. Replace the basket hanger if deterioration affects basket support, positioning, drainage support, or normal fryer operation.
