Gas supply:
This dryer is equipped for
use with Natural gas. It is design-certified by
CSA International for LP (propane or
butane) gases with appropriate conversion.
The gas line must include 1/8" NPT
minimum plugged tapping accessible for
test gauge connection, immediately
upstream of the gas connection to the dryer.
1/2" IPS pipe is recommended.
3/8" approved aluminum or copper tubing is
acceptable for lengths under 20 ft (6.1 m) if
local 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.
Must include a shutoff valve.
In the U.S.A.:
An individual manual shutoff 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 shutoff valve must be
installed in accordance with the B149.1,
Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.
It is recommended that an individual manual
shutoff valve be installed within six (6) feet
(1.8 m) of the dryer.
The location should be easy to reach for
opening and closing.
Electrical:
120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only,
15- or 20-amp fused electrical supply is
required. A time-delay fuse or circuit
breaker is recommended. It is also
recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this dryer be provided.
Exhaust venting:
Exhaust your dryer to
the outside. 4" (102 mm) diameter vent is
required. Rigid or flexible metal exhaust vent
must be used. Do Not use plastic or metal
foil vent. Exhaust outlet hood must be at
least 12" (305 mm) from the ground or any
