accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 or Canadian gas installation code CSA B149.1. A
1/8-inch NPT pipe plug must be installed.
If using a rigid pipe, the rigid pipe should be 0.5-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 ft.
(6.1 m). Larger tubing should be used for lengths in excess of 20 ft. (6.1 m).
To prevent contamination of the gas valve, purge the gas supply of air and sediment before connecting the gas
supply to the dryer. Before tightening the connection between the gas supply and the dryer, purge the remaining
air until the odor of gas is detected.
DO NOT use an open flame to inspect for gas leaks. Use a noncorrosive leak detection fluid.
Use only a new AGA- or CSA-certified gas supply line with flexible stainless steel connectors.
Use Teflon tape or a pipe-joint compound that is insoluble in propane (LP) gas on all pipe threads.
Connecting the Gas Supply
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or gas supplier.
Use only a new stainless steel flexible connector and a new AGA-certified connector.
A gas shutoff valve must be installed within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of the dryer.
The dryer is configured for natural gas when shipped from the factory. Make sure that the dryer is equipped
with the correct burner nozzle for the type of gas being used (natural gas or propane gas).
If necessary, the correct nozzle (for the LP nozzle kit, order part number 383EEL3002D) should be installed by
a qualified technician and the change should be noted on the dryer. All connections must be in accordance with
local codes and regulations. Gas dryers MUST exhaust the outdoors.
NOTE
In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts: This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter.
When using ball-type gas shut-off valves, they shall be T-handle-type. A flexible gas connector, when used,
must not exceed 3 feet.
This dryer is configured from the factory for natural gas (NG). If the dryer is to be used with propane (LP) gas, it must
be converted by a qualified service technician.
