Multiple Dryer Venting
■A main vent can be used for venting a group of dryers. The
main vent should be sized to remove 200 CFM of air per
dryer. Large-capacity lint screens of proper design may be
used in the main vent if checked and cleaned frequently. The
room where the dryers are located should have make-up air
equal to or greater than the CFM of all the dryers in the room.
■A back-draft damper kit is needed and is available from a
commercial laundry distributor; it should be installed in the
vent of each dryer to prevent exhausted air from returning into
the dryers and to keep the exhaust in balance within the main
vent. Unobstructed return air openings are required.
Each vent should enter the main vent at an angle pointing in the
direction of the airow. 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 uid 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.

3. If dryer is not level, use a 1" or 25 mm open-end or adjustable
wrench to turn the leveling leg counterclockwise to lower the
dryer or clockwise to raise the dryer. Recheck levelness of
dryer and that all four legs are rmly in contact with the oor.

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/m2). The expected pressures for the gas supply
are listed in inches of water in the table below:
Natural Gas Propane Gas
Minimum 5.2" (132.1 mm) 8.0" (203.2 mm)
Maximum 10.5" (266.7 mm) 13.0" (330.2 mm)
Alternate method
■The gas supply may also be connected using 3/8" 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 the action of Propane gas must be
used.
Flexible metal appliance connector:
■It is recommended that a new exible stainless steel gas line,
design-certied 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"male
pipe thread.)
■Do not kink or damage the exible stainless steel gas line
when moving the dryer.
Rigid pipe connection:
The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe ttings
to obtain an in-line connection to the dryer.
Make Gas Connection
1. Remove red cap from gas pipe.
2. Connect gas supply to dryer. Use pipe-joint compound
resistant to the action of propane for gas connections.
If exible metal tubing is used, be certain there are no kinks.
If necessary for service, open the toe panel by removing the
21⁄4" hex-head screws from the bottom of the panel. Then lift
up on the panel while pulling the bottom of the panel away
from the dryer.
3. Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line.
4. Test all connections by brushing on an approved
noncorrosive leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show
a leak. Correct any leak found.
Gas Supply Line
Recommended method
■Provide a gas supply line of 1/2" rigid (IPS) pipe to the dryer
location. Pipe joint compounds that resist the action of
Propane gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON®† tape. With
Propane gas, piping or tubing size can be 1/2" minimum.
Usually, Propane gas suppliers determine the size and
materials used in the system.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to propane, have a qualified person make
sure gas pressure does not exceed 13" (33 cm) water
column.
Examples of a qualified person include:
licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

■Must include a shutoff valve:
The supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff
valve installed within 6 ft (1.8 m) of dryer in accordance
with National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. In Canada,
an individual manual shutoff valve must be installed in
accordance with the B149 installation codes CAN/CGA
B149.1 and CAN/CGA B149.2. This valve should be located
in the same room as the dryer. It should be in a location that
allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to
shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas
to the dryer.

bathroom or closet, provision must be made for enough
air for combustion and ventilation. Check governing codes
and ordinances or refer to the “Recessed Area and Closet
Installation Instructions” in the “Location Requirements”
section.
Connect Vent
1. Using a 4" (102 mm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet
on the dryer. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the
vent is clean. The dryer vent must t over the dryer exhaust
outlet and inside the exhaust hood. Make sure the vent is
secured to exhaust hood with a 4" (102 mm) clamp.
2. Using two or more people, move dryer to desired installation
location. Do not crush or kink vent, and remove any excess
exible vent to improve airow. Make sure dryer is level.
3. Check to be sure there are no kinks in the exible gas line.
Complete Installation
1. With dryer in nal position, place level on top of the dryer, rst
side to side; then front to back. If the dryer is not level, adjust
the legs of the dryer up or down until the dryer is level.
2. Check the electrical requirements. Be sure that you have the
correct electrical supply and the recommended grounding
method. See “Electrical Requirements.”
3. Check that all parts are now installed. If there is an extra part,
go back through the steps.
