Gas Pipe Size Chart TOTAL BTU/HR GAS PIPE SIZE FOR 1000 BTU (250 KCAL) NATURAL GAS (for LP Gas correct AT 7” (17.8 CM) W.C. PRESSURE TOTAL total BTU/HR below by KCAL multiplying by .6) In figuring total length of pipe, make allowance for tees and elbows. HOUR (25 ft.) (50 ft.)
Gas Piping Installation 1. Gas service installation must conform with local codes, or in GAS PIPING the absence of local codes with the National Fuel Gas Code, INSTALLATION ANSI Z223.1 or the CAN/CGA-B149, Installation Codes. 2. Check rating plate located on rear wall of dryer, for type of gas to equip the dryer and the altitude (elevation).
Steam Piping - Installation Instructions 1. Set and anchor dryer in position. Machine should be level to assure STEAM PIPING INSTALLATION proper steam circulation. INSTRUCTIONS 2. To prevent condensate draining from headers to dryer, piping should have a minimum 12” above respective header. Do not make steam connection to header with a horizontal or downwardly facing tee or elbow.

Dryer Installation with Multiple Exhaust For Exhaust Duct less than 14 feet and 2 elbows equivalent and less than 0.6 inches static pressure. DRYER EXHAUSTS Area of section "A-A" must be equal to the sum of dryer exhaust pipes entering muliple exhaust pipe. (See chart below.) MODELS: L28FD30, L28US30, L36FD30, L36UR30, L36CD36, L44FD42 No.
Dryer Installation With Separate Exhaust (Preferred) For ductwork less than 14 feet and 2 elbows equivalent and less than 0.6 DRYER INSTALLATION inches static pressure. WITH SEPARATE EXHAUST (PREFERRED) NEVER exhaust the dryer into a chimney. NEVER install wire mesh screen over the exhaust or makeup air area.
Exhaust and Venting Nothing is more important than air flow for the proper operation of a DRYER AIR FLOW clothes dryer. A dryer is a pump which draws make-up air from the out-of- INSTALLATION doors, through the heater, through the clothes and then forces the air through the exhaust duct back to the out-of-doors.
Link Belts The Fan Assembly is rated at 0.6” W.C. back pressure. - Link Belts are adjustable for belt length. Please take links out to tighten fan belt. This may need to be done after dryer has been running for several days. If fan seems to be vibrating excessively, this may be an indication that the fan belt needs to be tightened.

Direct-Spark Ignition Operation DIRECT SPARK NOTE: Some models are equipped with a dual ignition system. The dual ignition system contains two direct spark IGNITION ignition modules in parallel. Each module has its own OPERATION flame sense circuit and acts independently of the other. If either bonnet limit thermostat opens because of high heat or flame impingement, the entire ignition system will shut down.
DIRECT SPARK IGNITION OPERATION FLOW CHART The DSI module is powered by a 24 volts AC suppled by a step-down transformer in series with eight safety interlocks: A. Timer switching device (1) B. Main door and lint door switches (2) C.
Maintenance—General MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE 1. CLEAN LINT SCREEN DAILY. Remove lint before starting day’s operation. A clean lint screen will increase the efficiency of the dryer, as the moisture-laden air will be exhausted more quickly. 2. CLEAN BASKET AND SWEEPSHEETS. Clean periodically and/or as often as required.
Maintenance—General MAINTENANCE (continued) MAINTENANCE 6. GAS BURNERS. Keep burners clean. Check and clean often. 7. GAS PRESSURE. Gas pressure should be checked periodically per specifications on separate page. 8. EXHAUST SYSTEM. Periodically check and clean. VOLTAGE. Voltage should be checked periodically per rating plate located on rear wall of dryer.
