Do not use TEFLON® tape. ■■ This dryer must be connected to the gas supply line with a listed flexible gas connector that complies with the standard for connectors for gas appliances, ANSI Z21.24 or CSA 6.10. BURNER INPUT REQUIREMENTS Elevations above 2,000 ft. (610 m): ■■ When installed above 2,000 ft. (610 m) a 4% reduction of the burner Btu rating shown on the model/serial number plate is required for each 1,000 ft. (305 m) increase in elevation.
