TYPICAL GAS CONNECTIONS
TYPICAL NATURAL GAS INSTALLATION
12
Consistent gas pressure is essential at all gas connections.
It is recommended that a 3/4-inch (19.05 mm) pipe gas loop
be installed in the supply line servicing a bank of dryers. An
in-line pressure regulator must be installed in the gas supply
line (header) if the (natural) gas pressure exceeds 13.0 in
WC (32.34 mb) pressure.
A minimum 1/8" N.P.T. plugged tap, accessible for a pressure
gauge connection, must be installed in the main gas supply
line immediately upstream of the dryer.
IMPORTANT: Pipe joint compounds that resist the action of
natural, propane, and butane gases must be used.
Test all connections for leaks by brushing on a soapy
water solution (liquid detergent works well).
