Connecting gas to your dryer (gas models only)
4
A listed connector
in compliance
with ANSI Z21.24/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. Use a flexible tubing
connection
kit that has designed
for use on 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 LP Gas, it must be LP Gas
compatible.
7
Disconnect
and discard old flexible tubing.
8
The gas pipe that comes out of the rear of your dryer has on it a s/?, 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.

Use wrenches to tighten
all joints
but do not over tighten.
lo
Open the gas supply valve and check all joints by brushing on a non-corrosive
leak-detecting
solution.
Bubbling will indicate
a leak. If any leaks are found, close the valve immediately
and
correct the leaks. Retest and repeat until no leaks are found.
