GAS CONNECTION
Gas operated dryers are equipped with a burner orifice for operation on NATURAL gas. If
the dryer is to be operated on LP gas, it must be converted correctly for safety and proper
performance. Conversion kits from NATURAL to LPG or LPG to NATURAL are available
through your local Maytag dealer. If other conversions are required, check with local gas
utility for specific information concerning conversion requirements. NOTE: The conver-
sion should always be performed by a qualified service technician.
A 1/2" gas supply line is recommended and must be reduced to connect to the 3/8" gas line
on the dryer.
NOTE: A 3/8" x 2" pipe nipple is included to adapt valve connection from a 3/8" female to
a 3/8" male I.P.S. connection.
Additionally, a 1/8" N.P.T. (National Pipe Thread) plugged tapping, accessible for test
gauge connection, must be installed immediately upstream of the gas supply connection to the
dryer. Refer to your local gas utility or plumbing contractor should you have questions on
the installation of the plugged tapping.
The dryer and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 P.S.I.G.
The dryer must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 P.S.I.G.
