3.Gas Piping
The gas connection to the dryer is made into the
The gas pressure supplied to the dryer must be between
If the facilities gas pressure is higher than these values, an external pressure regulator must be installed prior to the dryer to reduce the gas pressure to within the appropriate range.
The dryer must be connected to either natural or L.P. (liquid propane) gas indicated on the dryer data label located on the inner right wall of the electric cabinet. If your gas supply does not match the type of gas for which the dryer was built, contact your distributor or the ADC factory.
1.The installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of these local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 or the
2.The dryer and it’s 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 psi (3.5 kPa.)
Pipe joint compounds that resist the action of natural and L.P. (liquid propane) gas must be used.
Test ALL pipe connections for leaks by brushing on a soapy water solution.
WARNING: NEVER TEST FOR LEAKS WITH A FLAME!!!
4.Exhaust Air Ducting
The dryer’s exhaust air must be vented to the outdoors by the shortest route possible with the number of elbows kept to a minimum. The duct should be designed and installed by qualified technicians.
Improperly designed duct work reduce the airflow through the dryer, causing improper and unsafe drying conditions. The static pressure of the air in the duct work must not exceed
The exhaust vent connection is located on top of the burner and heater section of the dryer. It has rectangle
A sheet metal transition piece is supplied to connect a
The duct wire connecting the vent to the outdoors must be a minimum of
