burner B.T.U. rating shown on the
model/serial
plate is required
for
each
1,000 foot increase
in elevation,
For assistance

Provide a
rlgld gas supply
line
of l/2-inch
IPS pipe to the dryer
location,
If the total length of the
supply line is more than 20 feet, larger
pipe will be needed.
For L.P. gas
usage, 3/8-inch,
approved
copper
tubing
may be used. Pipe-joint
compounds
suitable
for use with L.P.
gas should be used.
F
w
If local codes and ordinances
permit,
it is recommended
that new
flexible
metal tubing,
design-certified
by the American
Gas Association,
be
used for connecting
the dryer to the
gas supply line.
G

The supply line shall be
equipped
with a shutoff valve.
Thls
valve should be located
in the same
