Gas connection
Explosion hazard!
Use a new AGA or CSA approved
gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas
connections.
Do not crush or kink the gas line.
Have a qualified person make sure
gas pressure does not exceed
14 in. W.C./3.49 kPa/0.506 psig.
(Natural Gas and Propane).
Example of a qualified person
include:
licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas supplier personnel
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in
explosion or fire.
Risk of death or injury!
All gas line connections must be
tested for leaks prior to appliance
operation. Apply soapy water to gas
line connections and check for
formation of new bubbles. Bubbles
indicate a leak!
When installing the gas supply to the
gas dryer inlet pipe, do not exceed 26
ft Ib (35 Nm).
Never use an open flame to test for
gas leaks.
Gas type
This dryer when equipped for use with
NATURAL GAS will employ an orifice
size 46 and will have a gas outlet
pressure of 3.5 in. W.C.
Your dryer must have the correct valve
for the type of gas in your home. Valve
information is located on the rating
plate behind the door below the port
hole.
Ifthe rating-plate information does not
agree with the type of gas available,
contact your dealer or our customer
service team (see page 32).
Gas supply line
1/2" I.D. pipe is recommended.
3/8" approved tubing is acceptable for
lengths under 20 ft (6.1 m) if local
codes and gas supplier permit.
Must include 1/8" NPT plugged
tapping, immediately upstream of the
gas connection.
A shut off valve must be included:
USA:
An individual manual shut-off valve
must be installed within 6 ft (1.8 m)
of the dryer in accordance with the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54.
Canada:
An individual manual shut-off valve
must be installed in accordance
with the B149, Installation Codes,
CAN/CSA B149.1 and CAN/CSA
B149.2. It is recommended that an
individual manual shut-off valve be
installed within 6 ft (1.8 m) of the
dryer.

The shut-off valve should be easy to
reach for opening and closing.
Dryer gas pipe
The gas pipe that comes out through
the rear of the dryer has a 3/8" male
pipe thread.
Note:
The dryer must be checked for proper
operation whenever the gas
connections have been broken.
Connection of the dryer
Connection must be made by
a qualified technician.
The dryer must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system
during pressure testing.
When using for the first time make
sure that there is no air in the piping
system.
Do not use copper pipes and tubing
if connected to natural gas.
Use a flexible gas connection
when installing a stacked dryer.
A hard, or rigid connection from the
house gas supply to the "stacked"
gas dryer is NOT allowed.
The connection may be different,
according to the supply line type, size
and location.
If local codes permit, use a flexible
stainless steel connector (Design
certified by the America Gas
Association or CSA International)
to connect the dryer.
