Gas supply requirements

WARNING

EXPLOSION HAZARD Uncoated copper tubing will corrode when subjected

to natural gas, causing gas leaks. Use ONLY black iron, stainless steel, or plastic-coated brass piping for gas supply.

1Installation MUST conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition).

2The gas supply line should be 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) pipe.

3If codes allow, ﬂexible metal tubing may be used to connect your dryer to the gas supply line. The tubing MUST be constructed of stainless steel or plastic-coated brass.

4The gas supply line MUST have an individual shutoff valve.

5A 1/8 inch (0.32 cm) N.P.T. plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge connection, MUST be installed immediately upstream of the gas supply connection to the dryer.

6The dryer MUST be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).

7The dryer MUST be isolated from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).

8Connections for the gas supply must comply with the Standard for Connectors for Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.24.
