Installation Instructions

CONNECTING A GAS DRYER (cont.)

GAS REQUIREMENTS

WARNING

•Installation must conform to local codes and ordinances, or in their absence, the NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE, ANSI Z223.

•This gas dryer is equipped with a Valve and Burner Assembly for use only with natural gas. Using conversion kit WE25X10014, your local service organization can convert this dryer for use with propane (LP) gas. ALL CONVERSIONS MUST BE MADE BY PROPERLY TRAINED AND QUALIFIED PERSONNEL AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES AND ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS.

•The dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at a test pressure in excess of 0.5 PSI (3.4 KPa).

•The dryer must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing the equipment shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping of test pressure equal to or less than 0.5 PSI (3.4KPa).

DRYER GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION

31⁄4″

(8.2 cm)

23⁄8″ (6 cm) 3/8″ NPT MALE THREAD GAS SUPPLY

NOTE: Add to vertical dimension the distance between cabinet bottom to floor.

GAS SUPPLY

•A 1/8″ National Pipe Taper thread plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge connection, must be installed immediately upstream of the gas supply connection to the dryer. Contact your local gas utility should you have questions on the installation of the plugged tapping.

•Supply line is to be 1/2″ rigid pipe and equipped with an accessible shutoff within 6 feet of, and in the same room with, the dryer.

•Use pipe compound appropriate for natural or LP gas or use Teflon® tape.

•Connect flexible metal connector to dryer and gas supply.

IN THE COMMONWEALTH

OF MASSACHUSETTS

•This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter.

•When using ball-type gas shut-off valves, they shall be the T-handle type.

•A flexible gas connector, when used, must not exceed 3 feet.
