Maytag MDG35 Installation Manual page 13

It is your responsibility to have all plumbing connections,
materials, and workmanship conform to local and state
regulations or codes of the country of destination. In the
absence of such codes, all plumbing connections, materials,
and workmanship must conform to the applicable local
requirements. In the USA this is the National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI Z223.1-LATEST EDITION, or in Canada, the Canadian
Installation Codes CAN/CGA-B149.1-M91 (Natural Gas) or
CAN/CGAB149.2-M91 (L.P. Gas) or LATEST EDITION.
It is important that gas pressure regulators meet applicable
pressure requirements, and that gas meters be rated for the
combined Btu ratings from all dryers being supplied.
IMPORTANT: For ease of service, the individual gas
supply line of each dryer must have its own manual
shutoff valve.
The dryer must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve
during any pressure test of the gas supply system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
The dryer and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess
of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
Failure to isolate or disconnect the dryer from supply as
noted can cause irreparable damage to the gas valve,
voiding the warranty.
NOTE: Undersized gas piping will result in ignition
problems, slow drying, and increased use of energy.
The input ratings shown on the data label are for elevations
up to 2,000 feet (610 meters), unless elevation requirements
of over 2,000 feet (610 meters) were specified at the time
the dryer order was placed with the factory. The adjustment
or conversion of dryers in the field for elevations over 2,000
feet (610 meters) is made by changing each burner orifice.
If this conversion is necessary, contact the distributor who
sold the dryer or contact the manufacturer.
IMPORTANT: If connection to this dryer is made with a
flexible hose, it must be suitable for the appliance category
in accordance with national installation regulations of the
country of destination, and if in doubt the installer must
contact the supplier. The manufacturer of this dryer does
not recommend the use of flexible gas supply line/hose.
Pipe joint compounds that resist the action of natural,
propane, and butane gases must be used on all non-flare
fittings.
In the U.S.A.: An individual manual shutoff valve must be
installed within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of the dryer in accordance
with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
In Canada: An individual manual shutoff valve must be
installed in accordance with the B149.1, Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Code. It is recommended that an
individual manual shutoff valve be installed within 6 feet (1.8
meters) of the dryer.
