Installation instructions Gas requirements Following are important instructions and information concerning the requirements for the gas supply and service for gas dryers. Caution! The gas supply and service for a gas dryer must comply with all local codes and ordinances. In the absence of any local codes or ordinances in your area, the gas supply and service for your gas dryer must comply with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or with the CAN/ CGA-B149 for Canada. 1. Gas supply requirements: Liquefied petroleum (L.P.) gas (2,500 Btu/ft3 (93.1 MJ/m3)) service must be provided at 10 + 1.5 in. water column pressure. 2. Do not attempt to connect dryer to Liquified petroleum (LP Gas) gas service without a qualified professional. 3. Isolate the dryer from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve, during any pressure testing of the gas supply system at test pressure equal to or less than .5 psi (3.45 kPa). 4. Supply Line Requirements. Your laundry room must have a rigid gas supply line to your dryer. In the United States, an individual manual shutoff valve must be installed within at least 6 feet (1.8m) of the dryer, in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1. A 1/8 in. N.P.T. pipe plug must be installed as shown in installation instruction page 5. If using a rigid pipe, the rigid pipe should be 1/2 inch IPS. If acceptable under local codes and ordinances and when acceptable to your gas supplier, 3/8 inch approved tubing may be used where lengths are less than 20 feet (6.1m). Larger tubing should be used for lengths in excess of 20 feet (6.1m). It is also important that you use pipe joint compound that is insoluble in LP gas. 6. To reduce the danger of gas leaks, explosion, and fire, please follow and observe the following instructions and cautions. Customer Care Center 31 1-800-898-1879 www.askousa.com
