High-Volume Outdoor Frying
The Crown Verity CV-PF-1 is a single tank outdoor fryer designed to cook high volumes of fries, wings, fish and chicken in a short time. It is built for caterers, party rental companies and special events, and it is for outdoor use only, so you can serve fried favourites without an indoor kitchen.
Fast, Even Heat
Each tank is powered by a 90,000 BTU burner with three heat exchanger tubes positioned for easy cleaning. A thermostat adjusts from 200°F to 400°F, and each tank holds 40 lbs. of oil.
Safety Built In
A high limit shut-off safely cuts the gas flow if the fryer temperature exceeds its upper limit. A 1 1/4" full port ball-type drain valve with a drain pipe extension makes oil changes cleaner and faster, and galvanized steel tank covers protect the oil between batches.
Portable and Ready to Work
The stainless steel cabinet rolls on two 14" wheels and two total-lock casters, and the fryer ships fully assembled on a skid. Two fry baskets per tank with plastic-coated handles are included, so your crew can start frying as soon as the oil is up to temperature.
Fuel Options
Choose liquid propane, which runs from one CYL-30 propane tank with a two-stage regulator and hose, or natural gas for a fixed outdoor location.
Ideal for Catering and Rentals
Outdoor frying keeps heat, grease and odour out of your building, and the CV-PF-1 lets you add fries, wings and fish to any outdoor menu. Its stainless steel cabinet stands up to repeated loading and unloading, which makes it a dependable choice for party rental fleets, food festivals, fundraisers and seasonal patios.
Simple Daily Cleaning
The heat exchanger tubes are positioned for easy access, and the full port drain valve empties the tank quickly once the oil has cooled. Wipe down the stainless steel cabinet, store the baskets and replace the tank cover, and the fryer is ready for the next event.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from operators.
Can the CV-PF-1 be used indoors?
No. Crown Verity designs this fryer for outdoor use only. It is meant for catering sites, rental events and outdoor concessions where a hood system is not available. Always follow the clearances in the owner's manual and set the fryer on a level, stable surface.
How much food can the CV-PF-1 produce?
Each tank holds 40 lbs. of oil and is powered by a 90,000 BTU burner, so it recovers quickly between baskets. With two baskets in one tank, it suits events where frying is one part of a larger menu.
Should I choose the single or double tank fryer?
Choose the single tank CV-PF-1 when frying is a side item or space is tight. Choose the double tank CV-PF-2 for high-volume events, or when you need to keep allergen-sensitive or strongly flavoured items such as fish separate from fries.
