American Dryer Corp MDG30V installation manual

Consistent gas pressure is essential at ALL gas connections. It is recommended that a 3/4-inch (19.05

mm)pipe gas loop be installed in the supply line servicing a bank of dryers. An in-line pressure regulator must be installed in the gas supply line (header) if the (natural) gas pressure exceeds 12.0 inches (29.9 mb) of water column (W.C.) pressure. (Refer to the illustrations on the previous page.)

NOTE: A water column test pressure of 3.5 inches (8.7 mb) for natural gas and 10.5 inches (26.1 mb) for liquid propane (L.P.) dryers is required at the gas valve pressure tap of each dryer for proper and safe operation.

A 1/8” N.P.T. plugged tap, accessible for a test gauge connection, must be installed in the main gas supply line immediately upstream of each dryer.

IMPORTANT: Pipe joint compounds that resist the action of natural gas and L.P. gas must be used.

IMPORTANT: Test ALL connections for leaks by brushing on a soapy water solution (liquid detergent works well).

WARNING: NEVER TEST FOR LEAKS WITH A FLAME!!!

ALL components/materials must conform to National Fuel Gas Code Specifications ANSI Z223.1-LATEST EDITION, or in Canada, CAN/CGA-B149.1-M91 (Natural Gas) or CAN/CGA-B149.2-M91 (L.P. Gas) or LATEST EDITION (for General Installation and Gas Plumbing), as well as local codes and ordinances and must be done by a qualified professional. It is important that gas pressure regulators meet applicable pressure requirements, and that gas meters be rated for the total amount of ALL the appliance BTUs being supplied.

IMPORTANT: The dryer and its individual shutoff valve 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).

NOTE: The dryer must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure test of the gas supply system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
