GAS REQUIREMENTS

Supply line requirements:
Provide a rigid gas supply line to the dryer location. It should
be minimum 12.5 mm (1/2") ID. When acceptable to the gas
supplier and local codes, 10 mm (3/8") ID rigid supply line may
be used for lengths under 6.1 m (20'). Pipe-joint compounds
resistant to the action of L.P. gas must be used.
Gas connection to the dryer itself should be made by means
of a flexible gas hose suitable for the appliance and gas
category in accordance with national installation regulations.
If in doubt, contact the gas supplier. It should be minimum
10 mm (3/8") ID.
A means of restraint should be used between the dryer and
the wall to avoid straining of the rigid gas supply when the
dryer is moved. An appropriate length of chain and a wall hook
is recommended.
The dryer gas inlet connection is a 3/8" NPT thread. An
adapter is supplied for conversion to standard ISO.228-1
thread (3/8" BSP).
Check for leaks by using an approved noncorrosive
leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show a leak. Correct any
leak found. A pressure measurement tapping is provided on
the gas valve within the dryer, accessible after removal of the
lower front panel.
The dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of that system.
