Consistent gas pressure is essential at ALL gas connections. It is recommended that a
loop be installed in the supply line serving a bank of dryers. An
NOTE: A water column test pressure of 3.5 inches (8.7 mbar) for natural gas and 10.5 inches (26.2 mbar) for L.P. (liquid propane) 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 Gas Code specifications. 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 BTU's being supplied.
IMPORTANT: The dryer and its individual
NOTE: The dryer must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual
