Gas requirements
Following are some important instructions
and informations concerning the
requirements for the gas supply and service
for gas dryers.
Caution!
The gas supply and service for a gas
dryer must comply with all local codes
and ordinances. In the absence of any
local codes or ordinances in your area,
the gas supply and service for your gas
dryer must comply with the latest edition
of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54 or with the CAN/CGA-
B149 for Canada.
1. Gas supply requirements: Liquefied
petroleum (L.P.) gas (2,500 Btu/ft3 (93.1
MJ/m3)) service must be provided at
10+1.5 in. water column pressure.
2. Do not attempt to connect dryer to
liquefied petroleum (LP Gas) gas service
without a qualified professional.
3. Isolate the dryer from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual
manual shut-off valve, during any
pressure testing of the gas supply
system at test pressure equal to or less
than .5 psi (3.45 kPa).
4. Supply Line Requirements. Your laundry
room must have a rigid gas supply line
to your dryer. In the United States, an
individual manual shutoff valve must
be installed within at least 6 feet (1.8m)
of the dryer, in accordance with the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1. A
1/8 in. N.P.T. pipe plug must be installed
as shown in installation instruction page
5. If using a rigid pipe, the rigid pipe
should be 1/2 inch IPS. If acceptable
under local codes and ordinances and
when acceptable to your gas supplier,
3/8 inch approved tubing may be used
where lengths are less than 20 feet
(6.1m). Larger tubing should be used
for lengths in excess of 20 feet (6.1m). It
is also important that you use pipe joint
compound that is insoluble in LP gas.
6. To reduce the danger of gas leaks,
explosion, and fire, please follow and
observe the following instructions and
cautions.
