Gas supply connection requirements

There are many methods by which your gas dryer can be connected to the gas supply. Listed here are some guidelines for two different methods of connection.

Option 1 (Recommended method)

Flexible stainless steel gas connector:

•If local codes permit, use a new flexible stainless steel gas connector (Design Certified by the American Gas Association or CSA International) to connect your dryer to the rigid gas supply line. Use an elbow and a %" flare x %" NPT adapter fitting between the stainless steel gas connector and the dryer gas pipe, as needed to prevent kinking.

Option 2 (Alternate method)

Approved aluminum or copper tubing:

•Lengths under 20 ft (6.1 m) can use %" approved tubing (if codes and gas supplier permit).

•If you are using natural gas, do not use copper tubing.

•%" flare x %" NPT adapter fitting between dryer pipe and %" approved tubing.

•Lengths over 20 ft (6.1 m) should use larger tubing and a different size adapter fitting.

•If your dryer has been converted to use L.R gas, %" L.R compatible copper tubing can be used. If the total length of the supply line is more than 20 ft (6.1 m), use larger tubing.

NOTE: Pipe joint compounds that resist the action of L.E gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON ,< tape.

Burner input requirements

Elevations up to 10,000 ft (3,048 meters):

•The design of this dryer is certified by CSA International for use at altitudes up to lg,000 ff (3,048 m) above sea level at the B.T.U. rating indicated on the model/serial number plate. Burner input adjustments are not required when the dryer is operated up to this elevation.

Elevations above 10,000 ft (3,048 meters):

•When installed above 10,000 ft (3,048 m) a 4% reduction of the burner B.T.U. 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 _/2psi.
