The PCG9 uses SUS316 stainless steel, a grade that resists salt corrosion better than the more common 304 stainless. The tank is deep-drawn from a single sheet, then sandblasted and electropolished for a smooth finish that rinses clean. It's welded to the top, which removes the seam where water and debris usually collect. The 8\" deep tank holds 9 gallons with a 35 L cooking area volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eControls and Safety\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eManual knob controls with an adjustable flame level keep operation simple, with no circuit boards or touchscreens to fail. Piezoelectric ignition lights the burner without matches, and a high-limit safety shut-off protects the unit from overheating. Water is added manually through an inlet pipe and valve, and a 1\" NPT drain valve empties the tank quickly at the end of the day or between water changes. The stainless steel exterior, cabinet base, and 4\" to 6\" adjustable legs keep the unit level and stable on uneven kitchen floors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBaskets Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe PCG9 ships with (2) 1\/3-size baskets, (1) 1\/6-size left basket, and (1) 1\/6-size right basket.

Actual use is lower once the water is at a boil and the flame is turned down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes the PCG9 need a water line and floor drain?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlan for both.
