3/8" NPT dryer gas pipe
GAS SUPPLY LINE
Option 1 (Recommended Method)
Flexible stainless steel gas connector:
■ If local codes permit, use a new exible stainless steel gas
connector (Design Certied by the American Gas Association
or CSA International) to connect your dryer to the rigid gas
supply line. Use an elbow and a 3/8" are x 3/8" NPT adapter
tting between the stainless steel gas connector and the dryer
gas pipe, as needed to prevent kinking.
Option 2 (Alternate Method)
Approved aluminum or copper tubing:
■ Must include 1/8" NPT minimum plugged tapping accessible
for test gauge connection, immediately upstream of the gas
connection to the dryer. See illustration.
■ 1/2" IPS pipe is recommended.
■ 3/8" approved aluminum or copper tubing is acceptable for
lengths under 20 ft. (6.1 m) if local codes and gas supplier
permit.
■ If you are using natural gas, do not use copper tubing.
■ Lengths over 20 ft. (6.1 m) should use larger tubing and
a different size adapter tting.
■ If your dryer has been converted to use propane gas, 3/8"
propane compatible copper tubing can be used. If the total
length of the supply line is more than 20 ft. (6.1 m), use
larger pipe.
NOTE: Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of propane
gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON

tape.
■ Must include shut-off valve.
In the U.S.A.:
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. The location should be easy to
reach for opening and closing.
In Canada:
An individual manual shut-off valve must be installed in
accordance with the B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code. It is recommended that an individual
manual shut-off valve be installed within 6 ft. (1.8 m)
of the dryer. The location should be easy to reach for
opening and closing.
GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS
■ Use an elbow and a 3/8" are x 3/8" NPT adapter tting
between the exible gas connector and the dryer gas pipe,
as needed, to avoid kinking.
■ Use only pipe-joint compound. Do not use TEFLON
®
tape.
■ This dryer must be connected to the gas supply line with a
listed exible gas connector that complies with the standard
for connectors for gas appliances, ANSI Z21.24 or CSA 6.10.
BURNER INPUT REQUIREMENTS
Elevations above 2,000 ft. (610 m):
■ When installed above 2,000 ft. (610 m) a 4% reduction of the
burner Btu rating shown on the model/serial number plate is
required for each 1,000 ft. (305 m) increase in elevation.
Gas supply pressure testing
■ The dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during pressure testing at pressures greater than
1/2 psi.
DRYER GAS PIPE
■ The gas pipe that comes out through the rear of your dryer has
a 3/8" male pipe thread.

* NOTE: If the dryer is mounted on a pedestal, the gas
pipe height must be an additional 10" (254 mm) or
15.5" (394 mm) from the oor, depending on the pedestal
model. For a garage installation, the gas pipe height must
be an additional 18" (460 mm) from the oor.
