GAS REQUIREMENTS

Use only natural or LP (liquid propane) gases.
THE INSTALLATION MUST CONFORM WITH LOCAL CODES, OR IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL
CODES, WITH THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE ANSI/Z223.1, LATEST REVISION (FOR THE UNITED
STATES), OR WITH THE CAN/CGA-B149 INSTALLATION CODES (FOR CANADA).
Gas dryers are equipped with a burner vent for use with natural gas. If you plan to use your dryer with LP
(liquid propane) gas, it must be converted for safe and proper performance by a qualified service technician.
A 1/2" (1.27 cm) gas supply line is recommended and must be reduced to connect to the 3/8" (1 cm) gas
line on your dryer. The National Fuel Gas Code requires that an accessible, approved manual gas shut-off
valve be installed within 6" of your dryer.
Gas dryers installed in residential garages must be raised 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor.
Additionally, a 1/8" (0.3 cm) N.P.T. (National Pipe Thread) plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge
connection, must be installed immediately upstream of your dryer's gas supply connection.
Your dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply pipe system during any pressure testing of the
system.
DO NOT reuse old flexible metal gas lines. Flexible gas lines must be design certified by the American Gas
Association (CGA in Canada).
• Any pipe joint compound used must be resistant to the action of any liquefied petroleum gas.
• As a courtesy, most local gas utilities will inspect a gas appliance installation.
GAS IGNITION – Your dryer uses an automatic ignition system to ignite the burner.

Commonwealth of Massachusetts installation instructions
