CORRECT
INSTALL MALE FITTINGS IN CORRECT DIRECTION
Although vertical orientation of the exhaust system is accept-
able, certain extenuating circumstances could affect the perfor-
mance of the dryer:
•
Only the rigid metal duct work should be used.
•
Venting vertical through a roof may expose the exhaust
system to down drafts causing an increase in vent
restriction.
•
Running the exhaust system through an uninsulated
area may cause condensation and faster accumulation
of lint.
•
Compression or crimping of the exhaust system will
cause an increase in vent restriction.
The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned a minimum
of every 18 months with normal usage. The more the dryer is
used, the more often you should check the exhaust system and
vent hood for proper operation.

EXHAUST DIRECTION
All dryers shipped from the factory are set up for rear
exhausting. However, on electric dryers, exhausting can be to the
right or left side of the cabinet or the bottom of the dryer. On gas
dryers, exhausting can be to the right side of the cabinet or the
bottom of the dryer. Directional exhausting can be accomplished
by installing Exhaust Kit, P/N 131456800, available through your
2½"
parts distributor. Follow the instructions supplied with the kit.

GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
plastic-coated. Stainless steel or plastic-coated brass MUST be
used.
1. Installation MUST conform with local codes, or in the
absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition).
2. The gas supply line should be of 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) pipe.
3. If codes allow, flexible metal tubing may be used to connect
your dryer to the gas supply line. The tubing MUST be
constructed of stainless steel or plastic-coated brass.
4. The gas supply line MUST have an individual shutoff valve.
5. A 1/8 inch (0.32 cm) N.P.T. plugged tapping, accessible for
test gauge connection, MUST be installed immediately
upstream of the gas supply connection to the dryer.
6. The dryer MUST be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.45
kPa).
7. The dryer MUST be isolated from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.45
kPa).
