Connecting Gas to Your Dryer (Gas Models Only)
4 A listed connector in compliance with ANSIZ21.24/CSA6.10 must be used to connect the dryer to
the gas supply.
5 If flexible tubing is used, an elbow should be installed on the pipe at the back of the dryer for
the flexible tube to be connected to. This will minimize damage to the tube when the dryer is
moved back. Usea flexible tubing connection kit that has designed for use or] a clothes dryer.
This kit should have the unions necessary to join to the ends of the tubing. Be sure to follow all
instructions supplied with the kit.
6 Copper tubing should not be used for Natural Gas and if used for LPGas, it must be LPGas
compatible.
7 Disconnect and discard old flexible tubing.
8 The gas pipe that comes out of the rear of your dryer has or] it a sA" NPT male thread. Remove
the protective cap and apply sealing compound or tape to the thread. Thread sealant should be
appropriate for the type of gas to be used.
