Part 7 GAS REQUIREMENTS AND INSTRUCTIONS
Following are important instructions and information concerning the requirements for the gas supply and service for
gas dryers.
Important Warning: The gas supply and service for a gas dryer must comply with all local codes
and ordinances. In the absence of any local codes or ordinances in your area, the gas supply and service for your gas
dryer must comply with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
1. Gas supply requirements: Liquefied Petroleum
(L.P.) Gas (2,500 Btu/ft3 (93.1 MJ/m3)) service
must be provided at 10 + 1.5 in. water column
pressure.
2. Important: DO NOT connect the dryer to the
Liquefied Petroleum (LP) Gas service without
converting the gas value.
3. A qualified technician must perform the LP Gas
conversion. Contact your local gas service branch
if you require additional assistance or
information.
4. Isolate the dryer from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shut-off
valve, during any pressure testing of the gas
supply system at test pressure equal to or less
than 2/1 psi (3.45 kPa).
5. Supply Line Requirements. Your laundry room
must have a rigid gas supply line to your dryer.
In the United States, an individual manual shutoff
valve MUST be installed within at least 6 feet
(1.8m) of the dryer, in accordance with the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1. A 1/8 in.
N.P.T. pipe plug must be installed as shown.
6. If using a rigid pipe, the rigid pipe should be 1/2
inch IPS. If acceptable under local codes and
ordinances and when acceptable to your gas
supplier, 3/8 inch approved tubing may be used
where lengths are less than 20 feet (6.1m).
Larger tubing should be used for lengths in
excess of 20 feet (6.1m). It is also important that
you use pipe joint compound that is insoluble in
LP gas.
7. To reduce the danger of gas leaks, explosion, and
fire, please follow and observe the following
instructions and WARNINGS:
• Connect the dryer to the type of gas shown on the
nameplate;
• Use new flexible stainless steel connectors;
• Use Teflon tape and pipe joint compound
insoluble in LP gas on all pipe threads;
• Purge gas supply of air and sediment before
connecting the gas supply to the dryer; in order to
prevent gas valve contamination, before tightening
connection between gas supply and dryer, purge
remaining air until odor of gas is identified; and
• DO NOT use an open flame to inspect for gas
leaks; instead, use a non-corrosive leak detection
fluid.
WARNING!
• Use a new AGA or CSA approved gas
supply line.
• Install a shut-off valve.
• Securely tighten all gas connections.
• If connected to LP, have a qualified person
make sure gas pressure does not exceed
13 in. water column.
• Examples of a qualified person include
licensed heating personnel, authorized gas
company personnel, and authorized service
personnel.
• Failure to do so can result in death,
explosion, or fire.
!
WARNING!
DO NOT attempt any disassembly of the
dryer, any disassembly requires the
attention and tools of an authorized and
qualified service person or company.
