CONNECTING GAS DRYERS
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
Use only natural or LP (liquid propane) gases.
THE INSTALLATION MUST CONFORM WITH LOCAL
CODES, OR IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODES, WITH
THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE ANSI/Z223.1, LATEST
REVISION (FOR THE UNITED STATES), OR WITH THE
CAN/CGA-B149 INSTALLATION CODES (FOR CANADA).
Gas dryers are equipped with a burner vent for use with natural
gas. If you plan to use your dryer with LP (liquid propane) gas,
it must be converted for safe and proper performance by a
qualified service technician.
A 1/Z' (1.27 cm) gas supply line is recommended and must be
reduced to connect to the 3/8" (1 cm) gas line on your dryer. The
National Fuel Gas Code requires that an accessible, approved
manual gas shut-off valve be installed within 6' of your dryer.
Gas dryers installed in residential garages must be raised
18 inches (46 era) above the floor.
Additionally, a 1/8" (0.3 cm) N.P.T. (National Pipe Thread) plugged
tapping, accessible for test gauge connection, must be installed
immediately upstream of your dryer's gas supply connection.
Your Dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply pipe
system during any pressure testing of the system.
DO NOT reuse old flexible metal gas lines. Flexible gas lines
must be design certified by the American Gas Association (CGA
in Canada).
NOTE:
,, Any pipe joint compound used must be resistant to the action
of any liquefied petroleum gas.
,, As a courtesy, most local gas utilities will inspect a gas
appliance installation.
GAS IGNITION - Your Dryer uses an automatic ignition system
to ignite the burner. There is no constant burning pilot.
Commonwealth of massachusetts installation
