Installation instructions
Connecting gas to your dryer (gas models only)
4
A listed connector in compliance with ANSI Z21.24/CSA6.10 must be used to connect the dryer
to the gas supply.
5
If flexible tubing is used, an elbow should be installed on the pipe at the back of the dryer for
the flexible tube to be connected to. This will minimize damage to the tube when the dryer is
moved back. Use a flexible tubing connection kit that has designed for use on a clothes dryer.
This kit should have the unions necessary to join to the ends of the tubing. Be sure to follow all
instructions supplied with the kit.
6
Copper tubing should not be used for Natural Gas and if used for LP Gas, it must be LP Gas
compatible.
7
Disconnect and discard old flexible tubing.
8
The gas pipe that comes out of the rear of your dryer has on it a ⁄” NPT male thread. Remove
the protective cap and apply sealing compound or tape to the thread. Thread sealant should be
appropriate for the type of gas to be used.

Use wrenches to tighten all joints but do not over tighten.

Open the gas supply valve and check all joints by brushing on a non-corrosive leak-detecting
solution. Bubbling will indicate a leak. If any leaks are found, close the valve immediately and
correct the leaks. Retest and repeat until no leaks are found.
