STEP 3. Connection of Gas Supply
(Gas dryer only). In addition to the following, please refer to manual section on Gas Requirements and Instructions.
1. New stainless steel flexible connector. Use this type of connector only if allowed by local codes. Use Design AGA
Certified Connector.
2. 1/8" NPT Pipe Plug (for checking inlet gas pressure)
3. Equipment Shut-Off Valve Installed within 6’ (1.8 m) of dryer.
4. Iron Pipe. Shorter than 20’ (6.1 m) Use 3/8" pipe. Longer than 20’ (6.1 m) - Use 1/2" pipe.
5. 3/8" N.P.T. Gas Connection.
1. Confirm that the type of gas available in your laundry room is appropriate for the dryer. The dryer is prepared for
Natural Gas with a 3/8" NPT gas connector.
2. Remove the shipping cap on the gas connector at the back of the dryer. Make sure that you don’t damage the
threads of the gas connection pipe when you remove the shipping cap.
3. Connect the dryer to your laundry room’s gas supply using a new flexible stainless steel connector (as noted
below, use a new stainless steel flexible connector if allowed by your local codes).
4. Securely tighten all connections between the dryer and your laundry room’s gas supply. Turn on your laundry
room’s gas (both supply and check all pipe connections internal and external) for gas leaks with a non-corrosive
leak detection fluid.
5. For LP (Liquefied Petroleum) gas connection, refer to this manual’s section entitled Gas Requirements and
Instructions.
NOTE:
Make sure the burner orifice is proper for the type of gas you have.
For instance, using LPG with LNG orifice will result in death, fire or explosion.
Or using LNG with LPG nozzle will not allow the burner to ignite.
If needed, orifice conversion should be done by a qualified service technician and mark or put the label of the
current type of orifice on the dryer.
If changing the orifice, also adjust the gas valve.
