The N14 is a 43-litre gas-fired tea urn constructed from 304-grade stainless steel. It brews and holds large volumes of tea for outdoor catering events, hotel breakfast service, workplace canteens, and high-turnover café operations. Gas heating provides rapid boil times independent of electrical infrastructure.
Commercial Application
This unit serves operations requiring continuous tea supply without access to heavy electrical circuits. Gas burner assembly heats water to brewing temperature within minutes. The 43-litre capacity delivers approximately 180-200 servings per batch, supporting breakfast rushes, conference catering, and festival concessions where mains power is limited or unavailable.
During peak service periods, the urn maintains temperature without cycling through electric heating elements. Operators fill the pot, ignite the burner, and brew tea in bulk. The insulated body holds temperature for extended service windows. Gas consumption remains predictable across multi-hour shifts.
Key Operational Advantages
- 43-litre capacity serves 180-200 cups per batch cycle
- 304-grade stainless steel body resists corrosion and staining from tannins
- Gas burner operates on LPG or natural gas without electrical supply requirement
- CE certified for commercial kitchen use across UK and EU jurisdictions
- Insulated construction reduces heat loss during extended holding periods
- Single-piece welded pot eliminates leak points at base and seams

Construction & Build Quality
Body and lid are fabricated from 18/10 chromium-nickel stainless steel (AISI 304). Welded construction eliminates rivets and fasteners in contact zones. The gas burner housing mounts beneath the pot with adjustable flame control. Insulation layer between inner pot and outer shell reduces surface temperature and fuel consumption.
- 304-grade stainless steel for tannin resistance and hygiene compliance
- Continuous weld seams at pot base and sidewall joints
- Brass tap assembly with PTFE seals for leak-free dispensing
- Powder-coated steel legs with adjustable feet for uneven surfaces

Procurement & Support
TurcoBazaar supplies the N14 directly from Turkish manufacturing facilities to buyers in the UK, Europe, North America, Middle East, and Africa. Gas configurations are specified during order placement to match regional supply standards (LPG or natural gas). CE certification documentation accompanies each shipment for compliance verification.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What grade of stainless steel is used in the N14 construction?
A: The pot, lid, and all wetted surfaces are fabricated from AISI 304 stainless steel (18/10 chromium-nickel). This grade resists staining from tea tannins and meets food-contact hygiene standards. External panels and legs use food-grade stainless or powder-coated mild steel.
Q: Can the N14 operate on both LPG and natural gas?
A: The burner assembly ships configured for either LPG (propane/butane) or natural gas as specified at order. Conversion between fuel types requires jet replacement and pressure regulator adjustment. TurcoBazaar supplies conversion kits and technical instructions for field modification.
Q: What is the heat-up time from cold water to boiling?
A: With correctly adjusted gas pressure, the N14 brings 43 litres of cold water to rolling boil in 18-22 minutes. Heat-up time varies with ambient temperature, altitude, and gas supply pressure. Pre-heating with hot mains water reduces cycle time by approximately 40%.
Q: Does the unit require fixed installation or can it be moved between sites?
A: The N14 is designed for portable use with flexible gas hose connection. Total weight when empty is approximately 12 kg. Operators transport the unit between catering sites, connecting to bottled LPG or temporary natural gas supply. Fixed installation with rigid pipework is also compatible.
Q: What maintenance is required for continuous daily operation?
A: Daily maintenance includes tap seal inspection and burner port cleaning to prevent blockage. Weekly descaling with citric acid solution maintains heat transfer efficiency in hard water areas. Annual service involves thermocouple testing and gas pressure verification. Replacement seals and jets are stocked by TurcoBazaar.
