GAS REQUIREMENTS

Instructions	Gas Dryers
	NOTE : The gas service to a gas dryer must conform
	with the local codes and ordinances or, in the absence
	of local codes and ordinances, with the latest edition
Safety	of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA
	54 or the CAN/CGA-B149, National Gas Installation
	Code.
	L.P (Liquefied Petroleum) Gas, 2,500 Btu/ft3 (93.1
	MJ/m3), service must be supplied at 10	1.5 in. water

	system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve
	technician. Contact your local service	branch if you
	require further assistance.
	The dryer must be isolated from the gas supply piping
Operating	during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
	system at test presure equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.45
	kPa).
	NOTE : When connecting to a gas line, an equipment
	shutoff valve must be installed within 6 feet (1.8m) of
Tips	the dryer. An 1/8 in. N.P.T. pipe plug must be
	installed as shown. Refer to Fig
Troubleshooting
	Supply line requirements:
	Provide a rigid gas supply line to the dryer location.
	In U.S.- An individual manual shutoff valve must be
	installed within 1.8m (6 feet) 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 B-149 installation codes,
Customer Service	CAN/CGA B-149.1 and B-149.2*.

When a rigid pipe is used it should be 1/2 inch IPS. When acceptable to the gas supplier and local codes, 3/8- inch approved tubing may be used for lengths under 6.1 m (20 feet). For lengths over 6.1m (20 feet), larger tubing should be used. Pipe-joint compounds resistant to the action of L.P. gas must be used.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of gas leaks, fire or explosion:

•The dryer must be connected to the type of gas as shown on the nameplate located in the door recess.

•Use a new flexible stainless steel connector.

•Use pipe joint compound insoluble in L.P. (Liquefied Petroleum) Gas, or Teflon tape, on all pipe threads.

•Purge air and sediment from gas supply line before connecting it to the dryer. Before tightening the connection, purge remaining air from gas line to dryer until odor of gas is detected. This step is required to prevent a gas valve contamination.

•Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Use a non-corrosive leak detection fluid.

•Any dis-assembly requiring the use of tools must be performed by an authorized qualified service person.
