2. Technical Gas Data
a. Gas Specifications
* Measured at gas valve pressure tap when the gas valve is on.
** For elevations up to 2,000 feet.
W.C. = Water column in inches.
N.P.T. = National Pipe Thread.
b. Natural Gas
Regulation is controlled by each gas valve’s internal regulator. Incoming supply pressure must be
consistent between a minimum of 6.0 inches and a maximum of 12.0 inches water column (W.C.)
pressure.
c. Liquid Propane (L.P.) Gas
Dryers made for use with L.P. gas have the gas valve’s internal pressure regulator blocked open so that
the gas pressure must be regulated upstream of the dryer. The pressure measured at each gas valve
pressure tap must be a consistent 10.5 inches water column. There is no regulator or regulation
provided in an L.P. dryer. The water column pressure must be regulated at the source (L.P. tank) or
an external regulator must be added to each dryer.
3. Piping Connections
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.
The dryer is provided with a 3/4” N.P.T. inlet pipe connection at the upper right hand corner (when viewed
from the rear) of each dryer. It is recommended that a gas shutoff valve be provided to the gas supply line
of each dryer for ease of servicing.
