(LP) gas. ALL CONVERSIONS MUST BE MADE BY PROPERLY TRAINED AND
QUALIFIED PERSONNEL AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES AND
ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS.
F The dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at a test pressure in
excess of 0.5 PSI (3.4 KPa).
F The dryer must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing the equipment shut-off valve during any pressure testing
of the gas supply piping of test pressure equal to or less than
0.5 PSI (3.4 KPa).
DRYER GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION
GAS SUPPLY
F A 1/8 in. National Pipe Taper thread plugged tapping, accessible
for test gauge connection, must be installed immediately
upstream of the gas supply connection to the dryer. Contact
your local gas utility should you have questions on the installation
of the plugged tapping.
F Supply line is to be 1/2 in. rigid pipe and equipped with an acce-
sible shut-off within 6 ft.of, and in the same room with the dryer.

SEALING OF JOINTS
?
All joints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male end of each
section of duct must point away from the dryer.
?
The duct shall not be assembled with screws or other
fastening means that extend into the duct and catch lint.
?
Duct joints can be made air and moisture-tight by wrapping
the overlapped joints with duct tape.
?
Horizontal runs should slope down toward the outdoors
1/4 inch per foot.
INSULATION
Duct work that runs through an unheated area or is near air
conditioning should be insulated to reduce condensation and
lint build-up.
HOOD OR WALL CAP
? Terminate in a manner to prevent back drafts or entry of birds
or other wildlife.
?Termination should present minimal resistance to the exhaust
air flow and should require little or no maintenace to prevent clogging
?Never install a screen in or over the exhaust duct. This could
cause lint build up.
?Wall caps must be installed at least 12 in. above ground level
or any other obstruction with the opening pointed down.
SEPARATION OF TURNS
For best performance, separate all turns by at least 4 ft. of straight
duct, including distance between last turn and exhaust hood.
TURNS OTHER THAN 90º
? One turn of 45º or less may be ignored.
? Two 45º turns should be treated as one 90º turn.
? Each turn over 45º should be treated as one 90º turn.

>For best drying performance:
1. Slide one end of the duct over the clothes dryer outlet pipe.
2. Secure the duct with a clamp.
3. With the dryer in its permanent position, extend the duct to its full
length. Allow 2” of duct to overlap the exhaust pipe. Cut off and remove
excess duct. Keep the duct as straight as possible for maximum airflow.
4. Secure the duct to the exhaust pipe with the other clamp.
In Canada and the United States, only the flexible metal (foil-type)
ducts that comply with the “Outline for Clothes Dryer Transition
Duct Subject 2158A” shall be used.
>
> In special installations, it may be necessary to connect the dryer
to the house vent using a flexible metal (foil- type) duct. A UL-listed
flexible metal (foil-type)duct may be used ONLY in installations
where rigid metal or flexible metal (semi-rigid) ducting cannot be
used AND where a 4" diameter can be maintained throughout the
entire length of the transition duct.
Never install flexible metal duct in walls, ceilings, floors or other
enclosed spaces.
>
Total length of flexible metal duct should not exceed 8 feet (2.4m).

contain a minimum of 120 sq. in. of open area equally distributed.
The dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
during pressure testing at pressures greater than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
