The Vulcan GS40ES brings dependable performance and precision to high-volume kitchens in a compact, short-height design. As the smallest model in Vulcan’s gas fully jacketed stationary kettle series, this 40-gallon unit still offers 50% more capacity than comparable brands, providing the perfect balance of size, power, and convenience for operations that need consistent results day after day.
Built from premium 316 series stainless steel, the GS40ES features a fully welded, fully jacketed construction that ensures even, efficient heating throughout the kettle. The dish-shaped interior bottom is gently sloped to the front, allowing for smooth product flow through the mounted, tapered 2-inch plug-type food draw-off valve. An included opening strainer and graduated measuring rod make portioning and serving clean and precise.
Designed with ease of use in mind, the reinforced, spring-assisted hinged stainless steel cover includes a condensate ring and drop-down lift handle with a heavy-duty yolk-style mount and tie bar. The kettle sits securely on 2-inch stainless steel legs with adjustable flanged feet, providing rock-solid stability and easy installation on any kitchen floor.
Control and safety are built in with a thermostat, combination gas control valve, electronic ignition, low-water cut-off control, pressure limit switch, and pressure gauge. The GS40ES also includes a vacuum relief valve and a 15 PSI pressure relief valve for safe and consistent operation.
With its shallower profile, this fully jacketed kettle delivers superior cooking results—keeping ingredients like potatoes or vegetables intact and tender, even during peak production hours. A faucet bracket and other thoughtful design touches add to its convenience and efficiency.
The Vulcan GS40ES is CSA design certified, UL classified to NSF Standard #4, and meets ASME code requirements. It comes backed by a one-year limited parts and labor warranty, plus an extended second-year limited parts and labor warranty, ensuring lasting performance in any professional kitchen.
