manometer is not available, test all connections by
brushing on a soapy water solution.

gas to fl ow through the pipe. Wait a few minutes for
gas to move through the gas line.

approved pipe from gas supply line to the 3/8 inch
(0.96 cm) pipe located on the back of the dryer. Use a
1/2 inch to 3/8 inch (1.27 cm to 0.96 cm) reducer for

resistant to the corrosive action of liquefi ed gases on all
pipe connections.

manual shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the
same room as the dryer and should be in a location that
allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to
the gas shutoff valve.
IMPORTANT
Installation to the gas service must follow local codes and
ordinances and the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1/NEPA 54 or in Canada, CSA B149.1.
