The dryer and its individual shut-off valves must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). The dryer must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure test of the gas supply system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

IMPORTANT: Failure to isolate or disconnect the dryer from supply as noted can cause irreparable damage to the gas valve which will VOID THE WARRANTY.
