Uncoated copper tubing will corrode when subjected to
natural gas, causing gas leaks. Use ONLY black iron,
stainless steel, or plastic-coated brass piping for gas supply.
Gas supply requirements
Electrical requirements for gas dryer
CIRCUIT - Individual, properly polarized and grounded
15 amp. branch circuit fused with 15 amp. time delay
fuse or circuit breaker.
POWER SUPPLY - 2-wire, with ground, 120 volt, single
phase, 60 Hz, Alternating Current.
POWER SUPPLY CORD - The dryer is equipped with a 120
volt 3-wire power cord.

1 Installation MUST conform with local codes, or in
the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition).
2 The gas supply line should be 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) pipe.
3 If codes allow, flexible metal tubing may be used
to connect your dryer to the gas supply line. The
tubing MUST be constructed of stainless steel or

accessible for test gauge connection, MUST be
installed immediately upstream of the gas supply
connection to the dryer.
6 The dryer MUST be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure testing of
the gas supply piping system at test pressures in
excess of 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
7 The dryer MUST be isolated from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of the gas
supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less
than 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
8 Connections for the gas supply must comply with
the Standard for Connectors for Gas Appliances,
ANSI Z21.24.
