The opening in wall or roof shall have a diameter 1/2" (13 mm)
larger than vent diameter. Vent should be centered in opening.
Do not install screening over end of vent for best performance.
A main vent can be used for venting a group of dryers. The main
vent should be sized to remove 5663 I/min. (200 CFM) of air per
dryer. Large-capacity lint screens of proper design may be used in
main vent if checked and cleaned frequently. The room where the
dryers are located should have make-up air equal to or greater than
CFM of all the dryers in the room.
Back-draft dampers are available from your distributor and should
be installed in the vent of each dryer to keep exhausted air from
returning into dryers and to keep exhaust in balance within main
vent. Unobstructed return air openings are required.
Although usually each single-load dryer should have an
unobstructed outdoor air opening of 24 in.2 (154 cm?) (based
on 1 in.? [6.5 cm?] per 1,000 Btu [252 kcal]), common make-up air
openings are also acceptable. Set up common openings so
the make-up air is distributed equally to all of the dryers. Keep
in mind that the coverage area must be increased by 33% to
account for the use of registers or louvers over the openings.
Also, make-up air openings should not be installed near the
location where exhaust vents exit the building.
Each vent should enter the main vent at an angle pointing in
the direction of the airflow. Vents entering from the opposite side
should be staggered to reduce the exhausted air from interfering
with the other vents.

The maximum angle of each vent entering the main vent should be
no more than 30°.
Keep air openings free of dry cleaning fluid fumes. Fumes create
acids which, when drawn through the dryer heating units, can
damage dryers and items being dried.
A clean-out cover should be located on the main vent for periodic
cleaning of the vent system.
GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION
Make Gas Connection
A WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install dryer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
1. Remove red cap from gas pipe on back of dryer.
2. Connect gas supply to dryer. Use a pipe thread compound
approved for the type of gas supplied. If flexible metal tubing
is used, be certain there are no kinks.
If necessary for service, open the toe panel. Use a putty knife
to press on the toe panel lock located at the center top of the
toe panel. Pull downward on the toe panel to open. Toe panel
is hinged at the bottom.
3. Open the shut-off valve in the gas supply line and make sure
the dryer has its own gas supply opened.
4. Test all connections by brushing on an approved noncorrosive
leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show a leak. Correct any
leaks found.

GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION
Type of Gas
This dryer is equipped for use with natural gas. It is design-certified
by CSA International for LP (propane and butane) gases with
appropriate conversion. No attempt shall be made to convert dryer
from gas specified on serial/rating plate for use with a different gas
without consulting the serving gas supplier. Conversion must be
done by a qualified service technician.
Gas conversion kit part numbers are listed near gas valve burner
base.
Gas Supply Line
Recommended Method
Provide a gas supply line of 1/2” (13 mm) rigid (IPS) pipe to dryer
location. Pipe joint compounds that resist action of LP gas must be
used. Do not use TEFLON* tape. With LP gas, piping or tubing
size can be 1/2” (13 mm) minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers
determine size and materials used in the system.
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
A 1/8" (3 mm) NPT minimum plugged tapping, accessible for
gauge testing, must be installed immediately downstream of the
installed shut-off valve to the dryer (as shown above). The dryer
must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of
1/2” psig (352 kg/m’).
Alternate Method
The gas supply may also be connected using 3/8" (10 mm)
approved copper or aluminum tubing. If the total length of
the supply line is more than 20 ft. (6.1 m), larger tubing will
be required.
If using natural gas, do not use copper tubing. Pipe joint
compounds that resist action of type of gas supplied must
be used.
Shut-off valve required
The supply line must be equipped with a manual shut-off valve
installed within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of dryer in accordance with National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI 2223.1. This valve should be located in
same room as dryer. lt should be in a location that allows ease
of opening and closing. Do not block access to shut-off valve.
In Canada, an individual manual shut-off valve must be installed
in accordance with the B149 installation codes CAN/CGA
B1i49.1 and CAN/CGA B149.2.

Flexible Metal Appliance Connector
It is recommended that a new flexible stainless steel gas line,
design-certified by CSA International, be used for connecting the
dryer to the gas supply line. (The gas pipe which extends through
the lower rear of the dryer is provided with 3/8" [10 mm] male pipe
thread.)
NOTE: Do not kink or damage the flexible stainless steel gas line
when moving the dryer.
Rigid Pipe Connection
The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe fittings to
obtain an in-line connection to the dryer.
