Installation

Gas Requirements

Gas Dryers

NOTE: The gas service to a gas dryer must

conform with the local codes and ordinances, or in

the absence of local codes and ordinances, with the

latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI

Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the CAN/CGA-B149, National

Gas Installation Code.

Natural Gas, 1000 Btu/ft 3 (37.3 MJ/m 3) service must

be supplied at 6.5 + 1.5 inch water column pressure.

For proper operation at altitudes above 2500 feet

(760 m) the natural gas valve spud orifice size must be

reduced to ensure complete combustion. Refer to

Table 1.

L.P. (Liquefied Petroleum) Gas, 2500 Btu/ft 3

(93.1 MJ/m 3) service must be supplied at 10 + 1.5 inch

water column pressure.

NOTE: DO NOT connect the dryer to L.P. Gas

Service without converting the gas valve. An LPK1

Sales Accessory (L.P. Gas Conversion Kit 649P3)

must be installed.

NOTE: The dryer and its appliance main gas valve

must be disconnected from the gas supply piping

system during any pressure testing of that system

at test pressures in excess of 0.5 psi (3.45 kPa).

The dryer must be isolated from the gas supply piping

system by closing the equipment shut-off valve during

any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at

test pressures equal to or less than 0.5 psi (3.45 kPa).

NOTE: When connecting to a gas line, an

equipment shut-off valve must be installed within

6 feet (1.8 m) of the dryel. An 0.125 inch NPT pipe

plug must be installed as shown. Refer to Figure 18.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of gas leaks, fire or

explosion:

• The dryer must be connected to the type

of gas as shown on nameplate located in

the door recess.

• Use a new flexible stainless steel

connector.

• Use pipe joint compound insoluble in L.P.

(Liquified Petroleum) Gas, or Teflon tape,

on all pipe threads.

° Purge air and sediment from gas supply

line before connecting it to the dryer.

Before tightening the connection, purge

remaining air from gas line to dryer until

odor of gas is detected. This step is

required to prevent gas valve

contamination.

• Do not use an open flame to check for

gas leaks. Use a non-corrosive leak

detection fluid.
