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.

This dryer must be connected to the gas supply line with  

a listed flexible gas connector that complies with the standard  

for connectors for gas appliances, CSA 6.10.

Option 1 (Recommended Method)

Flexible stainless steel gas connector:

 

n

If local codes permit, use a new flexible stainless steel gas 

connector (Design Certified by CSA International) to connect 

your dryer to the rigid gas supply line. Use an elbow and 

a 9.5 mm (3/8") flare x 9.5 mm (3/8") NPT adapter fitting 

between the stainless steel gas connector and the dryer  

gas pipe, as needed, to prevent kinking.

Option 2 (Alternate Method)

Approved aluminum or copper tubing:

 

n

Lengths over 6.1 m (20 ft.) can use 9.5 mm (3/8") approved 

tubing (if codes and gas supplier permit).

 

n

If you are using Natural Gas, do not use copper tubing.

 

n

9.5 mm (3/8") flare x 9.5 mm (3/8") NPT adapter fitting 

between dryer pipe and 9.5 mm (3/8") approved tubing.

 

n

Lengths over 6.1 m (20 ft.) should use larger tubing and  

a different size adapter fitting.

 

n

If your dryer has been converted to use LP gas, 9.5 mm 

(3/8") LP compatible copper tubing can be used. If the total 

length of the supply line is more than 6.1 m (20 ft.), 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

 

n

The gas pipe that comes out through the rear of your dryer 

has a 9.5 mm (3/8") male pipe thread.

Burner input requirements

Elevations up to 3,048 m (10,000 ft.):

 

n

The design of this dryer is certified by CSA International for 

use at altitudes up to 3,048 m (10,000 ft.) above sea level at 

the BTU 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 3,048 m (10,000 ft.):

 

n

When installed above 3,048 m (10,000 ft.), a 4% reduction  

of the burner BTU rating shown on the model/serial  

number plate is required for each 305 m (1,000 ft.)  

increase in elevation.

Gas supply pressure testing

 

n

The dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply piping 

system during pressure testing at pressures greater than  

352 kg/m

2

 (1/2 psi).
