■If your dryer has been converted to use LP gas, ³⁄₈" LP compatible copper tubing can be used. If the total length of the supply line is more than 20 ft (6.1 m), use larger pipe.
NOTE:
■Must include a shutoff valve:
In the U.S.A.:
An individual manual shutoff valve must be installed within six (6) feet (1.8 m) of the dryer in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
In Canada:
An individual manual shutoff valve must be installed in accordance with the B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code. It is recommended that an individual manual shutoff valve be installed within six (6) feet (1.8 m) of the dryer.
The location should be easy to reach for opening and closing.

■Use an elbow and a ³⁄₈" flare x ³⁄₈" NPT adapter fitting between the flexible gas connector and the dryer gas pipe, as needed to avoid kinking.
■Use only
■This dryer must be connected to the gas supply line with a listed flexible gas connector that complies with the standard for connectors for gas appliances, ANSI Z21.24.
Burner input requirements
Elevations above 10,000 ft (3,048 m):
■When installed above 10,000 ft (3,048 m) a 4% reduction of the burner Btu rating shown on the model/serial number plate is required for each 1,000 ft (305 m) increase in elevation.
Gas supply pressure testing
■The dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during pressure testing at pressures greater than ½ psi.
