Gas Supply Connection Requirements
There are many methods by which the IC series ironer can be connected to the gas supply. Follow-
ing are some guidelines for methods of connection.
Option 1:
Flexible stainless steel gas connector:
If local codes permit use a new flexible stainless steel connector (design certified by the American
Gas Association or CSA International) to connect between the ironer and the gas supply line. Use
an elbow and a 1”’ flare x 1”’ NPT adapter fitting between the stainless steel gas connector and the
gas inlet of the machine as needed to prevent kinking.
Option 2:
Other approved piping:
Lengths under 25 feet (6.1m) use 1”’ approved tubing.
