Option 2 (Alternate Method)
Approved aluminum or copper tubing:
■
Must include 1/8" NPT minimum plugged tapping accessible
for test gauge connection, immediately upstream of the gas
connection to the dryer. See illustration below.
■
1/2" IPS pipe is recommended.
■
3/8" approved aluminum or copper tubing is acceptable for
lengths under 20 ft (6.1 m) if local codes and gas supplier
permit.
■
If you are using natural gas, do not use copper tubing.
■
Lengths over 20 ft (6.1 m) should use larger tubing and a
different size adapter tting.
■
If your dryer has been converted to use propane gas, 3/8"
propane compatible copper tubing can be used. If the total
length of the supply line is more than 20 ft (6.1 m), use larger
pipe.
NOTE: Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of propane
gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON
®†
tape.
■
Must include shut-off valve.
In the U.S.A.:
An individual manual shut-off valve must be installed
within 6ft (1.8m) of the dryer in accordance with the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. The location
should be easy to reach for opening and closing.
In Canada:
An individual manual shut-off valve must be installed in
accordance with the B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code. It is recommended that an individual
manual shut-off valve be installed within 6ft (1.8 m)
of the dryer. The location should be easy to reach for
opening and closing.

GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS
■
Use an elbow and a 3/8" are x 3/8" NPT adapter tting
between the exible gas connector and the dryer gas pipe,
as needed to avoid kinking.
■
Use only pipe-joint compound. Do not use TEFLON
®
tape.
■
This dryer must be connected to the gas supply line with a
listed exible gas connector that complies with the standard
for connectors for gas appliances, ANSI Z21.24 or CSA 6.10.
BURNER INPUT REQUIREMENTS
Elevations above 2,000 ft (610 m):
■
When installed above 2,000 ft (610 m) a 4% reduction of the
burner BTU rating shown on the model/serial number plate is
required for each 1,000 ft (305 m) increase in elevation.
Gas supply pressure testing
■
The dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during pressure testing at pressures greater than
1/2 psi.
DRYER GAS PIPE
■
The gas pipe that comes out through the rear of your dryer has
a 3/8" male pipe thread.
* NOTE: If the dryer is mounted on a pedestal, the gas
pipe height must be an additional 10" (254 mm) or
15.5" (394 mm) from the oor, depending on the pedestal
model. For a garage installation, the gas pipe height must
be an additional 18" (460 mm) from the oor.
