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).
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 different size adapter fitting.
Gas supply line coupling must be 34" (864 mm) to 37"
(940 mm) from the floor.
If your washer/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:
Must include a shutoff valve:
In the U.S.A.:
An individual manual shutoff valve must be installed within six (6) feet (1.8 m) of the dryer in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
In Canada:
An individual manual shutoff 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) feet (1.8 m) of the dryer.
The location should be easy to reach for opening and closing.
