GAS SUPPLY LINE
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
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) if local codes and gas supplier
permit.
If you are using natural gas, do not use copper 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,
■
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: Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of LP
gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON

An individual manual shut-off valve must be installed within
six (6) ft. (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 shut-off valve must be installed in
accordance with the B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code. It is recommended that an individual
manual shut-off valve be installed within six (6) ft. (1.8 m) of
the dryer. The location should be easy to reach for opening
