The Vulcan K12ETT is a compact powerhouse designed to deliver reliable, high-capacity performance in a countertop footprint. With a generous 12-gallon capacity—50% more than comparable models—this K Series electric tilting kettle is built for busy kitchens that need consistent results and long-term durability. Its thicker stainless steel rim and rugged construction make it ideal for restaurants, cafés, catering operations, and any establishment that serves large batches of soups, sauces, or seasonal favourites like hot chai cider.
The 2⁄3 jacketed, self-contained design ensures even, efficient heating. The ellipsoidal bottom kettle liner is formed and fully welded from type 316 stainless steel, with a type 304 stainless steel exterior for strength and corrosion resistance. A ¼ x ⅝-inch bar rim with a butterfly-shaped pouring lip provides smooth, controlled serving. Embossed gallon and liter markings are permanently stamped into the kettle for quick, accurate measurement every time.
The jacket is filled with a precise mixture of water, rust inhibitor, and antifreeze for protection down to 30°F below zero. Removable electric elements are fully field serviceable for easy maintenance, and the stainless steel tilt handle—mountable on either side—allows for safe, balanced pouring. A two-position tilt lock (upright and 100° forward) provides complete emptying and easy cleaning.
Convenient right-side controls are housed in a stainless steel, watertight enclosure for dependable operation. The control system includes a power switch, indicator light, solid-state temperature control, vacuum/pressure gauge, pressure relief valve, low-water light, and automatic low-water shutoff for safety and precision.
The sturdy mounting base features lugs for secure bolting to a countertop or optional floor stand. The unit ships configured for 208/60-50/3 electrical service but can be field converted to 208/60-50/1, 240/60-50/3, or 240/60-50/1, offering flexibility for any installation.
The Vulcan K12ETT is UL listed, UL classified for sanitation in accordance with ANSI/NSF Standard #4, and meets ASME code. Backed by a one-year limited parts and labour warranty, this electric countertop tilting kettle is built to deliver years of dependable service in demanding commercial kitchens.
