GAS SUPPLY LINE
■ Must include 1/8" NPT minimum plugged tapping accessible
for test gauge connection, immediately upstream of the gas
connection to the washer/dryer. See illustration below.
■ 1/2" IPS pipe is recommended.
■ Must include shut-off valve:
In the U.S.A.:
An individual manual shut-off valve must be installed within
six (6) ft. (1.8 m) of the washer/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 six (6) ft. (1.8 m)
of the washer/dryer. The location should be easy to reach
for opening and closing.
This washer/dryer is equipped with its own permanent,
exible gas connector, design-certi ed by CSA International,
for connecting the washer/dryer to the gas supply line.
DRYER GAS CONNECTION
Option 1
Rigid gas supply line:
■ Connect your washer/dryer to the rigid gas supply line using
the 1/2" NPT adapter between the gas supply line and the
exible gas connector on the washer/dryer.
Option 2
Approved aluminum or copper tubing:
■ 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 washer/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.

BURNER INPUT REQUIREMENTS
Elevations up to 10,000 ft (3,048 meters):
■ The design of this washer/dryer is certi ed by CSA
International for use at altitudes up to 10,000 ft (3,048 m)
above sea level at the Btu rating indicated on the model/serial
number plate. Burner input adjustments are not required when
the washer/dryer is operated up to this elevation.
Elevations above 10,000 ft (3,048 meters):
■ When installed above 10,000 ft. (3,048 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 washer/dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during pressure testing at pressures greater
than 1/2 psi.
