Henny Penny Pressure Fryer Steam Complete Solenoid Valve 208-240V/60Hz Part No. 18721

Important: Please select the correct version for your country before purchasing. This listing is for the 208–240V 60Hz version, Part No. 18721, suitable for the USA, Canada and other 60Hz countries. If your fryer operates on a 50Hz supply, use Part No. 18724 instead.

Henny Penny 18721 Steam Solenoid Valve

This replacement steam solenoid valve is designed for compatibility with specified Henny Penny commercial pressure fryers. The valve closes at the start of the cook cycle and opens when the cycle ends to release pressure.

If a fryer is not building or holding pressure during the cook cycle, a worn or faulty solenoid valve may be one possible cause. Confirm the existing part number, electrical supply and valve specification before ordering.
