Gas Supply Requirements
WARNING
• DO NOT attempt any disassembly of the dryer;
disassembly requires the attention and tools of
an authorized and qualified service technician or
company.
• DO NOT use an open flame to inspect for gas
leaks. Use a noncorrosive leak detection fluid.
• Gas pressure must not exceed 20.4 cm water
column for NG, or 33.1 cm water column for LP.
• Isolate the dryer from the gas supply system by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply at
pressures greater than 3.5 kPa.
• Supply line requirements: Your laundry room
must have a rigid gas supply line to your dryer.
• If using a rigid pipe, the rigid pipe should be 0.5-
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 6.1 m. Larger tubing
should be used for lengths in excess of 6.1 m.
• To prevent contamination of the gas valve,
purge the gas supply of air and sediment before
connecting the gas supply to the dryer. Before
tightening the connection between the gas
supply and the dryer, purge remaining air until
the odor of gas is detected.
• Use only a new AGA- or CSA-certified gas supply
line (in compliance with the Standard for
Connectors for Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.24 •
CSA 6.10) with flexible stainless steel connectors.
• Use Teflon tape or a pipe-joint compound that is
insoluble in propane (LP) gas on all pipe threads.
