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 between dryer pipe and
3/8" approved tubing.
@
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.

of the burner B.T.U. rating shown on the model/serial
number plate is required for each 1,000 ft. G05 m)
increase in elevation.

@
The total length should not exceed 7 °/s ft. (2.4 m).
NOTE: If using an existing vent system, clean lint from entire
length of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged
with lint. Replace plastic or metal foil vents with rigid metal or
flexible metal vents. Review Vent System Chart and if necessary,
modify existing vent system to achieve best drying performance.
