•Must include r/s" NPT minimum plugged tapping accessible for test gauge connection, immediately upstream of the gas connection to the dryer (see illustration).
•V2" IPS pipe is recommended.
•%" approved aluminum or copper tubing is acceptable for lengths under 20 ft (6.1 m) if local 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 LP gas, %" 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:
