Gas requirements

WARNING

• Use only natural or LP (liquid propane) gases.

• THE INSTALLATION MUST CONFORM WITH LOCAL CODES, OR IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL

CODES, WITH THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE ANSI/Z223.1, LATEST REVISION (FOR THE

UNITED STATES), OR WITH THE CAN /CGA-B149 INSTALLATION CODES (FOR CANADA).

• Gas dryers are equipped with a burner vent for use with natural gas. If you plan to

use your dryer with LP (liquid propane) gas, it must be converted for safe and proper

performance by a qualied service technician.

• A 1/2” (1.27 cm) gas supply line is recommended and must be reduced to connect to the

3/8” (1 cm) gas line on your dryer. The National Fuel Gas Code requires that an accessible,

approved manual gas shut-off valve be installed within 6” of your dryer.

• Gas dryers installed in residential garages must be raised 18 inches (46 cm) above the

oor.

Additionally, a 1/8” (0.3 cm) N.P.T. (National Pipe Thread) plugged tapping, accessible for

test gauge connection, must be installed immediately upstream of your dryer’s gas supply

connection.

• Your dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply pipe system during any pressure

testing of the system.

• DO NOT reuse old exible metal gas lines. Flexible gas lines must be design certied by

the American Gas Association (CGA in Canada).

NOTE

• Any pipe joint compound used must be resistant to the action of any liqueed petroleum

gas.

• As a courtesy, most local gas utilities will Inspect a gas appliance installation.

NOTE
