■
1/2" NPT pipe is recommended.
■
3/8" approved tubing is acceptable for lengths under
20 ft. (6.1 m) if local codes and gas supplier permit.
■
Must include 1/8" NPT minimum plugged tapping accessible
for test gauge connection, immediately upstream of the gas
connection to the dryer (see illustration).
■
Must include a shut-off valve:
In the U.S.A.:
An individual manual shut-off valve must be installed within six
(6) feet (1.8 m) of the dryer in accordance with the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
In Canada:
An individual manual shut-off valve must be installed in
accordance with the B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code. It is recommended that an individual manual
shut-off valve be installed within six (6) feet (1.8 m)
of the dryer.
The shut-off valve location should be easy to reach for opening
and closing.

Gas supply connection requirements
There are many methods by which your gas dryer can be
connected to the gas supply. Listed here are some guidelines
for two different methods of connection.
Option 1 (Recommended Method)
Flexible stainless steel gas connector:
■
If local codes permit, use a new flexible stainless steel gas
connector (Design Certified by the American Gas Association
or 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 connector and the dryer
gas pipe, as needed to avoid kinking.
Option 2 (Alternate Method)
Approved aluminum or copper tubing:
■
Lengths over 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 between dryer pipe and
3/8" approved tubing.
■
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

tape.
Dryer gas pipe
■
The gas pipe that comes out through the rear of your dryer has
a 3/8" male pipe thread.

Burner input requirements
Elevations up to 10,000 ft. (3,048 m):
■
The design of this dryer is certified by CSA International for use
at altitudes up to 10,000 ft. (3,048 m), above sea level at the
B.T.U. rating indicated on the model/serial number plate. Burner
input adjustments are not required when the dryer is operated
up to this elevation.
Elevations above 10,000 ft. (3,048 m):
■
When installed above 10,000 ft. (3,048 m) a 4% reduction
of the burner B.T.U. rating shown on the model/serial
number plate is required for each 1,000 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.
