connection to the washer/dryer (see illustration).
•
r/2" IPS pipe is recommended.
•
3/8"approved aluminum or copper tubing is acceptable for
lengths under 20 ft (6.1 m) if local codes and gas supplier
permit.
•
If you are using Natural gas, do not use copper tubing.
•
Lengths over 20 ft (6.1 m) should use larger tubing and a
different size adapter fitting.
•
Gas supply line coupling must be 34" (86.4 cm) to 37" (94 cm)
from the floor.
•
If your washer/dryer has been converted to use LP gas, %" 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 _t tape.
•
Must include a shutoff valve:
In the U.S.A.:
An individual manual shutoff valve must be installed within
