Option 1 (Recommended Method)
Flexible stainless steel gas connector:
•
If local codes permit, use a new flexible
stainless steel gas connector (Design Cer-
tified by CSA International) to connect your
dryer to the rigid gas supply line. Use an
elbow and a 3/8˝ flare x 3/8˝ NPT adapter
fitting between the stainless steel gas con-
nector and the dryer gas pipe, as needed
to avoid kinking.
Option 2 (Alternate Method)
Approved aluminum or copper tubing:
•
Lengths under 20 ft (6.1 m) can use 3/8˝
approved tubing (if codes and gas supplier
permit).
•
If you are using Natural gas, do not use
copper tubing.
•
3/8˝ flare x 3/8˝ NPT adapter fitting be-
tween dryer pipe and 3/8˝ approved tub-
ing.
•
Lengths over 20 ft (6.1 m) should use larger
tubing and a different size adapter fitting.
•
If your dryer has been converted to use LP
gas, 3/8˝ LP compatible copper tubing can
be used. If the total length of the supply
line is more than 20 ft (6.1 m), use larger
pipe.
NOTE: Pipe-joint compounds that resist
the action of LP gas must be used. Do not
use TEFLON
tape.

BURNER INPUT REQUIREMENTS
Elevations above 2,000 ft (610 m):
•
When installed above 2,000 ft (610 m) a
4% reduction of the burner B.T.U. rating
shown on the model/serial number plate is
required for each 1000 ft (305 m) increase
in elevation.
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
•
The dryer must be disconnected from the
gas supply piping system during pressure
testing at pressures greater than 1/2 psi.
DRYER GAS PIPE
•
The gas pipe that comes out through the
rear of your dryer has a 3/8˝ male pipe
thread.
