EXPLOSION
HAZARD
5.
Uncoated copper tubing will corrode when
subjected to natural gas, causing gas leaks.
Use ONLY black iron, stainless steel, or plastic-
coated brass piping for gas supply.
1. installation MUST conform with local codes, or
in the absence of Iocai codes, with the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition).
2. The gas supply line should be 1/2 inch (1.27
cm) pipe.
3. If codes allow, flexible metal tubing may be
used to connect your dryer to the gas supply
line. The tubing MUST be constructed
of
stain less steel or plastic-coated
brass.
The gas supply line MUST have an individual
shutoff valve.
A 1/8 inch (0.32 cm) N.RT. plugged tapping,
accessible for test gauge connection,
MUST
be installed immediately upstream of the gas
supply connection
to the dryer.
6. The dryer MUST be disconnected
from the
gas supply piping system during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
7. The dryer MUST be isolated from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of the
gas supply piping system at test pressures equal
to or less than 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
8. Connections for the gas supply must comply
with the Standard for Connectors for Gas
Appliances,
ANSI Z21.24.
Exhaust
system
requirements
Use only 4 inch (102 mm) diameter (minimum) rigid
or flexible metal duct and approved vent hood
which has a swing-out
damper(s) that open when
the dryer is in operation. When the dryer stops,
the dampers automatically
close to prevent drafts
and the entrance of insects and rodents. To avoid
restricting the outlet, maintain a minimum of 12
inches (30.5 cm) clearance between the vent hood
and the ground or any other obstruction.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow these instructions
can create
excessive drying times and fire hazards.
The following
are specific
requirements
for proper and safe operation
of your
dryer.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic
or metal foil venting materials. Flexible venting
materials are known to collapse, be easily
crushed and trap lint. These conditions will
obstruct clothes dryer airflow and increase the
risk of fire.

If your present system is made up of plastic duct
or metal foil duct, replace it with a rigid or semi-
rigid metal duct. Also, ensure the present duct is
free of any tint prior to installing dryer duct.
