Gas Dryer Power Hookup
Gas Supply Requirements
Gas type
LP Gas:
This dryer is equipped for use with LP Gas.
Your dryer must have the correct burner for the type of gas
■
in your home. Burner information is located on the rating
plate in the door well of your dryer. If this information does
not agree with the type of gas available, please reference the
"Assistance or Service" section of the "Use and Care Guide."
Gas supply line
1/2" NPT pipe is recommended.
■
3/8" approved tubing is acceptable for lengths under
■
20 ft. (6.1 m) if local codes and gas supplier permit.
Must include 1/8" NPT minimum plugged tapping accessible
■
for test gauge connection, immediately upstream of the gas
connection to the dryer (see illustration).
Must include a shut-off valve:
■
In the U.S.A.:
An individual manual shut-off 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.
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) feet (1.8 m)
of the dryer.
The shut-off valve location should be easy to reach for opening

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.
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.
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 3/8" flare x 3/8" 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 over 20 ft. (6.1 m) can use 3/8" approved tubing
■
(if codes and gas supplier permit).
If you are using Natural Gas, do not use copper tubing.
■
3/8" flare x 3/8" NPT adapter fitting between dryer pipe
■
and 3/8" 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, 3/8" 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: Pipe joint compounds that resist the action of LP
gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON
