In the U.S.A.:
An individual manual shut-off 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-off valve must be installed
in accordance with the B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code. It is recommended that an individual manual
shutoff valve be installed within six (6) ft. (1.8 m) of the dryer.
The location should be easy to reach for opening and closing.

E. Gas shutoff valve.
GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS
nUse 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.
nUse only pipe-joint compound. Do not use TEFLON®† tape.
nThis 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.
BURNER INPUT REQUIREMENTS
Elevations above 10,000 ft. (3,048 m):
nWhen 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
nThe dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during pressure testing at pressures greater than
1/2psi.

*NOTE: If the dryer is mounted on a pedestal, the gas pipe
height must be an additional 10" (254 mm) or 15.5" (394 mm)
from the oor, depending on the pedestal model. For a garage
installation, the gas pipe height must be an additional 18"
(460 mm) from the oor.
MAKE GAS CONNECTION
Connect gas supply to dryer
1.
Remove red cap from gas pipe. Using a wrench to tighten,
connect gas supply to dryer. Use pipe-joint compound
on threads of all non-ared male ttings. If exible metal
tubing is used, be sure there are no kinks.
NOTE: For LP gas connections, you must use pipe-joint
compound resistant to action of LP gas Do not use
TEFLON®† tape.
A. Flared male tting
B. Non-ared male tting
Plan pipe tting connection
2.
A combination of pipe ttings must be used to connect dryer to
existing gas line. A recommended connection is shown. Your
connection may be different, according to supply line type, size,
and location.
A. 3/8" exible gas connector
B. 3/8" dryer pipe
C. 3/8" to 3/8" pipe elbow
D. 3/8" pipe-to-are adapter tting
Open shut-off valve
3.
Open shut-off valve in supply line; valve is open when handle is
parallel to gas pipe. Then, test all connections by brushing on
an approved noncorrosive leak-detection solution. Bubbles will
show a leak. Correct any leak found.
A. Closed valve
B. Open valve
