It is your responsibility to have
ALL
plumbing connections made by a qualified professional to ensure that the
gas plumbing installation is adequate and conforms to local and state regulations or codes. In the absence of
such codes,
ALL
plumbing connections, materials, and workmanship

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).
IMPORTANT:
Failure to isolate or disconnect the dryer from supply as noted can cause
irreparable damage to the gas valve, which will VOID THE WARRANTY.
