Gas Supply Connection - Maytag MDG17CSBGW Installation Instructions Manual

If an Exhaust Hood Cannot be Used
The outside end of main vent should have a sweep elbow
directed downward.
* Minimum clearance above
any accumulation of snow,
ice, or debris such as leaves
If main vent travels vertically through the roof, rather than
through wall, install a 180° sweep elbow on end of vent at least
610 mm (2 ft.) above surface of roof.
The opening in wall or roof shall have a diameter 13 mm (1⁄2")
larger than vent diameter. Vent should be centered in opening.
Do not install screening over end of vent for best performance.
Make Gas Connection
1. Remove red cap from gas pipe.
2. Connect gas supply to dryer. If the flexible gas hose has
10 mm (3/8") BSP thread, use the supplied conversion
thread adapter. Use pipe-joint compound resistant to the
action of L.P. gas for gas connections.
If necessary for service, open the toe panel. Use a putty
knife to press on the 2 toe panel locks located at the top
of the toe panel. Pull downward on the toe panel to open.
Toe panel is hinged at the bottom.
3. Open the shut-off valve in the gas supply line.
4. Test all connections by brushing on an approved
noncorrosive leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show
a leak. Correct any leaks found.
DRYER VENTING REQUIREMENTS
Multiple Dryer Venting
A main vent can be used for venting a group of dryers. The
main vent should be sized to remove 5663 l/min. (200 CFM)
of air per dryer. Large-capacity lint screens of proper design
may be used in main vent if checked and cleaned frequently.
The room where the dryers are located should have make-up
air equal to or greater than CFM of all the dryers in the room.
Back-draft Damper Kit, Part No. 3391910, is available from
your distributor and should be installed in the vent of each
dryer to keep exhausted air from returning into dryers and to
keep exhaust in balance within main vent. Unobstructed return
air openings are required.
Each vent should enter the main vent at an angle pointing in
the direction of the airflow. Vents entering from the opposite
side should be staggered to reduce the exhausted air from
interfering with the other vents.
air flow
The maximum angle of each vent entering the main vent
should be no more than 30°.
Keep air openings free of dry cleaning fluid fumes. Fumes
create acids which, when drawn through the dryer heating
units, can damage dryers and items being dried.
A clean-out cover should be located on the main vent for
periodic cleaning of the vent system.
