Option 1 (Recommended Method)
Flexible stainless steel gas connector:
If local codes permit, use a new flexible
stainless steel gas connector (Design Cer-
tified by CSA International) to connect your
dryer to the rigid gas supply line. Use an
elbow and a 3/8
˝
flare x 3/8
˝
NPT adapter
fitting between the stainless steel gas con-
nector and the dryer gas pipe, as needed
to avoid kinking.
Option 2 (Alternate Method)
Approved aluminum or copper tubing:
Lengths under 20 ft (6.1 m) can use 3/8
˝
approved tubing (if codes and gas supplier
permit).
If you are using Natural gas, do not use
copper tubing.
3/8
˝
flare x 3/8
˝
NPT adapter fitting be-

ing.
Lengths over 20 ft (6.1 m) should use larger
tubing and a different size adapter fitting.
If your dryer has been converted to use LP
gas, 3/8
˝
LP compatible copper tubing can
be used. If the total length of the supply
line is more than 20 ft (6.1 m), use larger
pipe.
NOTE:
Pipe-joint compounds that resist
the action of LP gas must be used. Do not
use TEFLON

BURNER INPUT REQUIREMENTS
Elevations above 2,000 ft (610 m):
When installed above 2,000 ft (610 m) a
4% reduction of the burner B.T.U. rating
shown on the model/serial number plate is
required for each 1000 ft (305 m) increase
in elevation.
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
The dryer must be disconnected from the
gas supply piping system during pressure
testing at pressures greater than 1/2 psi.
DRYER GAS PIPE
The gas pipe that comes out through the
rear of your dryer has a 3/8
˝
male pipe
thread.
