The N14 is a 43-litre gas-fired tea urn built for high-volume beverage service in outdoor catering, cafes, and restaurant operations. It holds enough tea or hot water to serve approximately 170-200 cups per batch. Commercial kitchens and event caterers use it where mains electricity is unavailable or gas fuel is more economical.
Commercial Application
Gas-powered tea urns suit outdoor events, mobile catering units, and venues with limited electrical infrastructure. The unit eliminates reliance on electric kettles or water boilers during peak service periods. A single 43-litre batch reduces refill frequency during breakfast or lunch rushes.
Operators fill the urn at the start of service and maintain temperature throughout the shift. The tap dispenses directly into cups or teapots without lifting heavy kettles. Gas burners provide consistent heat output independent of kitchen electrical load.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the N14 compatible with propane and natural gas?
A: The unit ships configured for propane (LPG). Natural gas operation requires jet replacement to match lower gas pressure. TurcoBazaar supplies conversion jets and installation instructions upon request.
Q: What is the heat-up time from cold water to boiling?
A: A full 43-litre fill reaches boiling in approximately 25-35 minutes depending on burner output and ambient temperature. Gas pressure and jet size affect heating speed.
Q: Does the urn maintain temperature automatically?
A: Temperature control is manual via the gas valve. Operators adjust flame to hold water just below boiling once initial heat-up completes. No thermostat is fitted.
Q: Can the tap be replaced if it develops a leak?
A: The tap assembly is a serviceable component held by a locking nut. Replacement taps and washers are available from TurcoBazaar. Standard spanners remove the existing unit.
Q: What certifications apply outside the UK and EU?
A: CE certification covers UK and European markets. USA and Canadian compliance requires local gas appliance inspection and may need NSF or CSA documentation from the installer. TurcoBazaar provides material certificates and construction drawings to support regulatory approval.
