Gas supply requirements
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Uncoated copper tubing will corrode when subjected
to natural gas, causing gas leaks. Use ONLY black iron,
stainless steel, or plastic-coated brass piping for gas
supply.
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 1/2 inch (1.27 cm)
pipe.
3 If codes allow, fl exible 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.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
4 The gas supply line MUST have an individual
shutoff valve installed in accordance with the
B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.
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).
8 Connections for the gas supply must comply with
