REQUIREMENTS
1/2" IPS pipe is recommended.
3/8" approved aluminum or copper tubing is acceptable
for lengths under 20 ft (6.1 m) if local codes and gas
supplier permit.
If you are using Natural gas, do not use copper tubing.
Lengths over 20 ft (6.1 m) should use larger tubing and a
different size adapter fitting.
If your dryer has been converted to use LP gas, 3/8" LP
compatible copper tubing can be used. If the total length
of the supply line is more than 20 ft (6.1 m), use larger
pipe.
NOTE: Pipe joint compounds that resist the action of LP
gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON
®
tape.*
Use an elbow and a 3/8" flare x 3/8" NPT adapter fitting
between the flexible gas connector and the dryer gas
pipe, as needed to avoid kinking.
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
