Gas Information _______________________
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.
In Australia, the fuel gas code is AS 5601/AG 601, local
authority, gas, electricity, and any other relevant statutory
regulations.
It is important that gas pressure regulators meet applicable
pressure requirements, and that gas meters be rated for the
total amount of all the appliance Btu being supplied.
Important
Failure to comply with these codes or ordinances,
and/or the requirements stipulated in this manual,
can result in personal injury and improper operation of the
dryer.

Important
For ease of service, the individual gas supply line
of each dryer must have its own manual shutoff
valve.
The dryer and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess
of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa) for non-CE dryers or 50 mb for CE
dryers.
Failure to isolate or disconnect the dryer from supply as
noted can cause irreparable damage to the gas valve,
voiding the warranty.
Note
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) for non-CE dryers or 50 mb for CE dryers.
Warning
Fire or explosion could result due to failure of
isolating or disconnecting the gas supply as noted.
Note
Undersized gas piping will result in ignition
problems, slow drying, increased use of energy,
and can create a safety hazard.
The dryer must be connected to the type of heat/gas indicated
on the data label and pressure must be confirmed. If this
information does not agree with the type of gas available, do
not operate the dryer. Contact the reseller who sold the dryer
or contact the manufacturer.
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 reseller who sold the
dryer or contact the manufacturer.
Important
If connection to this appliance 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 appliance does not recommend the use of flexible gas
supply line/hose. An external gas supply shutoff must be
provided.
CE and Australian Dryers
There is an N.P.T. to B.S.P.T. adaptor included with each dryer,
which must be installed to the gas inlet. The adaptor is
shipped in the tumbler.
Important
Pipe joint compounds that resist the action of
natural, propane, and butane gases must be used.
