2. Plan pipe tting connection
A combination of pipe ttings must be used to connect dryer
to existing gas line. A recommended connection is shown.
Your connection may be different, according to supply line
type, size, and location.
A. 9.5 mm (3/8") exible gas
connector
B. 9.5 mm (3/8") dryer pipe
C. 9.5 mm (3/8") to 9.5 mm (3/8")
pipe elbow
D. 9.5 mm (3/8") pipe-to-are
adapter tting
Open shut-off valve in supply line; valve is open when handle
is parallel to gas pipe. Then, test all connections by brushing
on an approved noncorrosive leak-detection solution.
Bubbles will show a leak. Correct any leaks found.
2. Connect vent to exhaust hood
Vent must t over the exhaust hood. Secure vent to exhaust
hood with 102 mm (4") clamp. Run vent to dryer location
using straightest path possible. Avoid 90° turns. Use clamps
to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws, or other
fastening devices that extend into interior of vent to secure
vent, because they can catch lint.

1. Connect gas supply to dryer
Remove red cap from gas pipe. Using a wrench to tighten,
connect gas supply to dryer. Use pipe-joint compound
on threads of all non-ared male ttings. If exible metal
tubing is used, be sure there are no kinks.
NOTE: For propane gas connections, you must use pipe-joint
compound resistant to action of propane gas. Do not use
TEFLON tape.
