Remove the 1/2" NPT adapter from the flexible gas connector (it will be necessary to use two adjustable wrenches). Using a wrench to tighten, connect gas supply to washer/dryer. Use pipejoint compound on threads of all non-flared male fittings. If flexible metal tubing is used, be sure there are no kinks. NOTE: For LP gas connections, you must use pipe-joint compound resistant to action of LP gas. Do not use TEFLON®† tape. 2. Install adapter 4. Open shut-off valve A B A. Closed valve B. Open valve Open shut-off valve in supply line; valve is open when handle is parallel to gas pipe. Then, test all connections by brushing on an approved noncorrosive leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show a leak. Correct any leak found. Connect vent 1. Connect vent to exhaust outlet A A. 1 /2" rigid gas supply pipe B. U se pipe-joint compound. B C.1/2" NPT adapter C D. Do not use pipe-joint D compound. E. Flexible gas E connector Install the adapter on the 1/2" rigid gas supply pipe using pipe-joint compound. NOTE: For LP gas connections, you must use pipe-joint compound resistant to action of LP gas. Do not use TEFLON®† tape. 3. Attach connector Using a 4" (102 mm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet in dryer. If connecting to existing vent, make sure vent is clean. Dryer vent must fit over dryer exhaust outlet and inside exhaust hood. Check that vent is secured to exhaust hood with a 4" (102 mm) clamp. 2. Move washer/dryer to final location Attach the flexible gas connector to the 1/2" NPT adapter. Do not use pipe-joint compound for this connection. There should be a natural loop in the flexible gas connector. The flexible gas connector must not be twisted, kinked, or attached with any sharp bends. †®TEFLON is a registered trademark of E.I.
