It is your responsibility to have ALL plumbing connections made by a qualified professional to assure that the gas plumbing installation is adequate and conforms to local and state regulations or codes. In the absence of such codes, ALL plumbing connections, materials, and workmanship must conform to the applicable requirements of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1-LATEST EDITION, or in Canada, the Canadian Installation Codes CAN/CGA-B149.1-M91 (Natural Gas) or CAN/CGA-B149.2-M91 (liquid propane [L.P.] Gas) or LATEST EDITION.

The dryer and its individual shutoff 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 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).

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

WARNING: FIRE OR EXPLOSION COULD RESULT.
