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. The location should be easy to
reach for opening and closing.
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.
Gas supply connection requirements
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 pipe-joint compound. Do not use TEFLON®† tape.
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 or CSA 6.10.

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
½psi.

Dryer gas pipe

The gas pipe that comes out through the rear of your dryer
has a ³⁄₈" male pipe thread.
*NOTE: If the dryer is mounted on a pedestal, the gas pipe height
must be an additional 10" (25.4cm) or 15.5" (39.4 cm) from the
floor, depending on the pedestal model. For a garage
installation, the gas pipe height must be an additional
18"(46 cm) from the floor.
Venting Requirements

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE

EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
The dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent,
chimney, wall, ceiling or a concealed space of a building.

If using an existing vent system

Clean lint from the entire length of the system and make sure
exhaust hood is not plugged with lint.
Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with rigid or flexible
heavy metal vent.
Review Vent system chart. Modify existing vent system if
necessary to achieve the best drying performance.
