Gas Information _______________________
It is your responsibility to have all plumbing connections,
materials, and workmanship conform to local and state
regulations or codes of the country of destination. In the
absence of such codes, all plumbing connections, materials,
and workmanship must conform to the applicable local
requirements. In the USA this is the National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI Z223.1-LATEST EDITION, or in Canada, the Canadian
Installation Codes CAN/CGA-B149.1-M91 (Natural Gas) or
CAN/CGAB149.2-M91 (L.P. Gas) or LATEST EDITION.
In Australia, the fuel gas code is AS 5601/AG 601, local
authority, gas, electricity, and any other relevant statutory
regulations.
It is important that gas pressure regulators meet applicable
pressure requirements, and that gas meters be rated for the
total amount of all the appliance Btu being supplied.
IMPORTANT: Failure to comply with these codes or
ordinances, and/or the requirements stipulated in this
manual, can result in personal injury and improper
operation of the dryer.
For ease of service, the individual gas supply line of each
dryer must have its own manual shutoff valve.
The dryer and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess
of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa) for non-CE dryers or 50 mb for CE
dryers.
IMPORTANT: Failure to isolate or disconnect the dryer from
supply as noted can cause irreparable damage to the gas
valve, voiding the warranty.
NOTE: The dryer must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve
during any pressure test of the gas supply system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa) for non-
CE dryers or 50 mb for CE dryers.
Warning
Fire or explosion could result due to failure of
isolating or disconnecting the gas supply as noted.
NOTE: Undersized gas piping will result in ignition
problems, slow drying, increased use of energy, and can
create a safety hazard.
The dryer must be connected to the type of heat/gas indicated
on the rating plate and pressure must be confirmed. If this
information does not agree with the type of gas available, do
not operate the dryer. Contact the reseller who sold the dryer
or contact the manufacturer.
The input ratings shown on the rating plate are for elevations
up to 2,000 feet (610 meters), unless elevation requirements
of over 2,000 feet (610 meters) were specified at the time the
dryer order was placed with the factory. The adjustment or
conversion of dryers in the field for elevations over 2,000 feet
(610 meters) is made by changing each burner orifice. If this
conversion is necessary, contact the reseller who sold the
dryer or contact the manufacturer.
IMPORTANT: If connection to this appliance is made with a
flexible hose, it must be suitable for the appliance category
in accordance with national installation regulations of the
country of destination, and if in doubt the installer must
contact the supplier. The manufacturer of this appliance
does not recommend the use of flexible gas supply line/
hose. An external gas supply shutoff must be provided.
CE Dryers
There is an N.P.T. to B.S.P.T. adaptor installed on dryers being
shipped to CE countries.
Warning
The dryer must be restrained to prevent straining
the gas connection if the dryer is moved while the
gas supply is still connected. Holes for the attachment of a
restraining device are provided in the top of the dryer. The
length and design of the restraint should be as necessary to
prevent strain on the gas line if the dryer is moved.
If the dryer is to be moved then the following steps must be
taken:
• Disconnect electrical power to the dryer.
• Close all external gas supply shutoff valves.
• Disconnect the gas supply line.
• Remove the restraint from the dryer.
IMPORTANT: Pipe joint compounds that resist the action of
natural, propane, and butane gases must be used.
