INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS Electrical requirements for gas dryer CIRCUIT - Individual, properly polarized and grounded 15 amp. branch circuit fused with 15 amp. time delay fuse or circuit breaker. POWER SUPPLY - 2-wire, with ground, 120 volt, single phase, 60 Hz, Alternating Current. POWER SUPPLY CORD - The dryer is equipped with a 120 volt 3-wire power cord. GROUNDING CONNECTION - See "Grounding requirements" in Electrical Installation section. Grounding type wall receptacle Do not, under any circumstances, cut, remove, or bypass the grounding prong. Power cord with 3-prong grounded plug Gas supply requirements WARNING EXPLOSION HAZARD Uncoated copper tubing will corrode when subjected to natural gas, causing gas leaks. Use ONLY black iron, stainless steel, or plastic-coated brass piping for gas supply. 1 Installation MUST conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition). 2 The gas supply line should be 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) pipe. 3 If codes allow, flexible metal tubing may be used to connect your dryer to the gas supply line. The tubing MUST be constructed of stainless steel or plastic-coated brass. 4 The gas supply line MUST have an individual shutoff valve installed in accordance with the B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code. 5 A 1/8 inch (0.32 cm) N.P.T. plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge connection, MUST be installed immediately upstream of the gas supply connection to the dryer. 6 The dryer MUST be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa). 7 The dryer MUST be isolated from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa). 8 Connections for the gas supply must comply with the Standard for Connectors for Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.24. 5

1
Installation MUST conform with local codes, or in
the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition).
2
The gas supply line should be 1/2 inch (1.27 cm)
pipe.
3
If codes allow,
fl
exible metal tubing may be used
to connect your dryer to the gas supply line. The
tubing MUST be constructed of stainless steel or
plastic-coated brass.
4
The gas supply line MUST have an individual
shutoff valve installed in accordance with the
B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.
5
A 1/8 inch (0.32 cm) N.P.T. plugged tapping,
accessible for test gauge connection, MUST be
installed immediately upstream of the gas supply
connection to the dryer.
6
The dryer MUST be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure testing
of the gas supply piping system at test pressures in
excess of 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
7
The dryer MUST be isolated from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of the
gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to
or less than 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
8
Connections for the gas supply must comply with
the Standard for Connectors for Gas Appliances,
ANSI Z21.24.
