{"product_id":"henny-penny-lid-latch-16116","title":"Lid Latch for Henny Penny 16116 Centre Bar — 500 600 CFA Series UK","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Henny Penny 16116 is the front lid latch — the structural metal hook assembly mounted at the end of the centre crossbar that locks the fryer lid firmly onto the frypot body during the pressurised cooking cycle. When the operator pushes the crossbar handle down, this latch engages under the frypot rim, working in conjunction with the latch spring components to hold the lid sealed under pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the primary structural locking component of the entire lid assembly. A cracked, worn, or broken lid latch means the fryer cannot be safely operated and must be taken out of service immediately until the latch is replaced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete front lid latch hook assembly — one unit supplied\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStructural metal construction designed to withstand repeated pressure cycling in commercial frying environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits the centre crossbar of Henny Penny 500, 561, and 600 series pressure fryers — gas and electric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: approx. 113mm × 146mm × 88mm | Weight: approx. 1,089g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParts Town description: LATCH — CENTER BAR | Parts Town reference: HEN16116\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis lid latch is compatible with the following Henny Penny commercial pressure fryer models:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHenny Penny PFE-500 \/ PFG-500 \/ PFE-500-CFA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHenny Penny PFE-561 \/ PFG-561\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHenny Penny PFE-600 \/ PFG-600\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHenny Penny CFA-500 \/ CFA-600\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHenny Penny Computron 8000 \/ Fastron series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible with both gas and electric variants.

Replacement must be carried out by a competent engineer with the fryer fully powered down, depressurised, and cooled. When replacing the lid latch, always inspect and replace the adjacent latch spring kit (16199) and tag spring weldment (33480) — these parts all work together and should be renewed as a set. Also available as a complete kit with the latch knob (LC-16116-KIT).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRelated Parts\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRed Latch Knob (Henny Penny 16102)\u003c\/strong\u003e — the operator grip knob on the latch body; available separately or as a bundle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplete Front Lid Latch Kit (LC-16116-KIT)\u003c\/strong\u003e — 16116 latch + 16102 knob supplied together\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLatch Spring Kit (Henny Penny 16199)\u003c\/strong\u003e — front latch spring, pin and E-clips; inspect during any latch service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"LaunchCatering Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57336576999756,"sku":"LC-16116","price":99.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0997\/4857\/7612\/files\/LC-16116LidLatch_CentreBar.jpg?v=1776713542","url":"https:\/\/launchcatering.com\/products\/henny-penny-lid-latch-16116","provider":"LAUNCHCATERING LTD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
