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-flared male fittings. If flexible 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.
2. Plan pipe fitting connection (Option 1)
A combination of pipe fittings 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.
3. Open shut-off valve
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 leak found.
