Type
of
Gas
This
dryer
is
equipped
for
use
with
natural
gas.
It
is
design-certified
by
CSA
International
for
LP
(propane
and
butane)
gases
with
appropriate
conversion.
No
attempt
shall
be
made
to
convert
dryer
from
gas
specified
on
serial/rating
plate
for
use
with
a
different
gas
without
consulting
the
serving gas
supplier.
Conversion
must
be
done
by
a
qualified
service
technician.
Gas

Gas
Supply
Line
Recommended
Method
Provide
a
gas
supply
line
of
1/2”
(13
mm)
rigid
(IPS)
pipe
to
dryer
location.
Pipe
joint
compounds
that
resist
action
of
LP
gas
must
be
used.
Do
not
use
TEFLON*
tape.
With
LP
gas,
piping
or
tubing
size
can
be
1/2”
(13
mm)
minimum.
Usually,
LP
gas
suppliers
determine
size
and
materials
used
in
the
system.
Gas
Supply
Pressure
Testing
A
1/8"
(3
mm)
NPT
minimum
plugged
tapping,
accessible
for
gauge
testing,
must
be
installed
immediately
downstream
of
the
installed
shut-off
valve
to
the
dryer
(as
shown
above).
The
dryer
must
be
disconnected
from
the
gas
supply
piping
system
during
any
pressure
testing
of
the
system
at
test
pressures
in
excess
of
1/2” psig
(352
kg/m’).
Alternate
Method
The
gas
supply
may
also
be
connected
using
3/8"
(10
mm)
approved
copper
or
aluminum
tubing.
If
the
total
length
of
the
supply
line
is
more
than
20
ft.
(6.1
m),
larger
tubing
will
be
required.
If
using
natural
gas,
do
not
use
copper
tubing.
Pipe
joint
compounds
that
resist
action
of
type
of
gas
supplied
must
be
used.
Shut-off
valve
required
The
supply
line
must
be
equipped
with
a
manual
shut-off
valve
installed
within
6
ft.
(1.8
m)
of
dryer
in
accordance
with
National
Fuel
Gas
Code,
ANSI
2223.1.
This
valve
should
be
located
in
same
room
as
dryer.
lt
should
be
in
a
location
that
allows
ease
of
opening
and
closing.
Do
not
block
access
to
shut-off
valve.
In
Canada,
an
individual
manual
shut-off
valve
must
be
installed
in
accordance
with
the
B149
installation
codes
CAN/CGA
B1i49.1
and
CAN/CGA
B149.2.

Appliance
Connector
It
is
recommended
that
a
new
flexible
stainless
steel

used
for
connecting
the
dryer
to
the
gas
supply
line.
(The
gas
pipe
which
extends
through
the
lower
rear
of
the
dryer
is
provided
with
3/8"
[10
mm]
male
pipe
thread.)
NOTE:
Do
not
kink
