Gas dryers
are equipped
with a burner orifice for
operation
on NATURAL
gas.
If the dryer
is to be
operated
on LP (liquid
propane)
gas, it must
be
converted
for safe and proper
performance
and
must
be converted
by a qualified
service
techni-
cian.
Conversion
kits from NATURAL
to LP, or LP
to NATURAL
are available
through
your local
Maytag
dealer (see Accessories).
If other conver-
sions are required,
check with the local gas utility
for specific
information
concerning
conversion
requirements.
A 1/2" gas supply line is recommended
and must be
reduced
to connect
to the 3/8" gas line on the dryer.
The National
Fuel Gas Code requires
that an
accessible,
approved
manual
gas shut off valve be
installed
within 6 feet of the dryer.
Additionally,
a 1/8" N.RT. (National
Pipe Thread)
plugged
tapping,
accessible
for test gauge
connection,
must be installed
immediately
upstream
of the gas supply connection
to the dryer.
The dryer must be disconnected
from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of the system.
DO NOT re-use old flexible
metal gas line.
Flexible
gas line must be design
certified
by American
Gas
Association
(CGA in Canada).
NOTE:
Any pipe
joint compound
used must be resistant
to the action
of any liquefied
petroleum
