■ ½" IPS pipe is recommended.
■ ³⁄₈" approved tubing is acceptable for lengths under
20 ft (6.1 m) if local codes and gas supplier permit.

for test gauge connection, immediately upstream of the gas
connection to the dryer (see following illustration).
■ Must include a shutoff valve:
In the U.S.A.:
An individual manual shutoff valve must be installed within
six (6) feet (1.8 m) of the dryer in accordance with the National

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■
For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:
This dryer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock
by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.
This dryer is equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug.The plug must
be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
WARNING:
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service representative
or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the
dryer: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new AGA or CSA approved gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure
gas pressure does not exceed 13" (33 cm) 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.
