local codes, or in the absence of local
codes, with the national fuel gas code,
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, latest revision(for
the UNITED STATES), or with the natural
gas and propane installation code, CSA
B149.1(for Canada).
• Gas dryers are equipped with a burner
vent for use with natural gas. If you plan
to use your dryer with LP (liquid propane)
gas, it must be converted for safe and
proper performance by a qualied service
technician. (LNG models only)

• A ½” (1.27 cm) gas supply line is
recommended and must be reduced
to connect to the ⅜” (1 cm) gas line on
your dryer. The National Fuel Gas Code
requires that an accessible, approved
manual gas shut-off valve be installed
within 6” of your dryer.

must be raised 18 inches (46 cm) above
the oor.

for test gauge connection, must be
installed immediately upstream of your
dryer’s gas supply connection.
• Your dryer must be disconnected from
the gas supply pipe system during any
pressure testing of the system.
• Do not reuse old exible metal gas lines.
Flexible gas lines must be designed and
certied by the standard for connectors
for Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.24 • CSA
6.10.
NOTE
• Your dryer uses an automatic ignition
system to ignite the burner. There is no
constant burning pilot.
• Any pipe joint compound used must be
resistant to the action of any liqueed
petroleum gas.
• As a courtesy, most local gas utilities will
inspect a gas appliance installation.
