3/8" NPT dryer pipe

NOTE: For a garage installation, the gas pipe height must be an

additional 18" (460 mm) from the  oor.

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.

LP Gas Conversion:

IMPORTANT: Conversion must be made by a quali ed technician.

No attempt shall be made to convert the dryer from the gas

speci ed on the model/serial rating plate for use with a di erent

gas without consulting your gas company.

IMPORTANT: The gas installation must conform with local codes,

or in the absence of local codes, with the Nationl Fuel Gas Code,

ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the Canadian Natural Gas and Propane

Installation Code, CSA B149.1.

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 Certi ed 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.

■ 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 di erent size adapter  tting.

■ If your dryer has been converted to use LP gas, 3/8" LP

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 LP gas

must be used. Do not use TEFLON

®†

tape.

■ Must include shut-o valve.

In the U.S.A.:

An individual manual shut-o valve must be installed within six

(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-o valve must be installed in

accordance with the B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane

Installation Code. It is recommended that an individual manual

shuto valve be installed within six (6) ft. (1.8 m) of the dryer.

The location should be easy to reach for opening and closing.

BURNER INPUT REQUIREMENTS

Elevations above 10,000 ft. (3,048 m):

■ 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 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.

INSTALL LEVELING LEGS

1. Prepare dryer for leveling legs

To avoid damaging  oor, use a large  at piece of cardboard

from dryer carton; place under entire back edge of dryer.

Firmly grasp dryer body (not console panel) and gently lay
