location. Pipe joint compounds that resist the action of LP gas
must be used. Do not use TEFLON®† tape. With LP gas,
piping or tubing size can be 1/2" minimum. Usually, LP gas
suppliers determine the size and materials used in the system.
WARNING
Alternate method
The gas supply may also be connected using 3/8" approved
copper or aluminum tubing. If the total length of the supply
line is more than 20 feet (6.1 m), larger tubing will be required.
If using natural gas, do not use copper tubing. Pipe joint
compounds that resist the action of LP gas must be used.
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Flexible metal appliance connector:
Securely tighten all gas connections.
It is recommended that a new flexible stainless steel gas line,
design-certified by CSA International, be used for connecting
the dryer to the gas supply line. (The gas pipe which extends
through the lower rear of the dryer is provided with 3/8" male
pipe thread.)
If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure
gas pressure does not exceed 14" (360 mm) water
column.
Examples of a qualified person include:
licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Do not kink or damage the flexible stainless steel gas line
when moving the dryer.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Rigid pipe connection:
This installation must conform with all local codes and
ordinances. In the absence of local codes, installation must
conform with American National Standard, National Fuel Gas
