• If local codes permit, use flexible
stainless steel tubing (Design Certified
by the American Gas Association) to
connect your dryer to the gas supply
line. To prevent kinking, you may need
an elbow and a connector between the
stainless steel tubing and the dryer
gas pipe. The gas pipe that comes
out through the rear of your dryer has
a
3
⁄8 in male pipe thread.
• A combination of pipe fittings must
be used to connect the dryer to the
existing gas line.
• The gas supply must have a shut-off
valve. The valve should be in the same
room as the dryer, within six feet. The
location should be easy to reach for
opening and closing the valve.
• A
1
⁄8-inch NPT plugged tapping, acces-
sible for test gauge connection, must be
installed immediately upstream of the
gas supply connection to the dryer.
• To ensure proper combustion and
ventilation, the dryer installation should
adhere to the minimum recommended
clearances. See page 12.
• For mobile home installation, see
page 13 for more instructions.
• The dryer must be disconnected from
the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system.
