has a ³⁄₈" male pipe thread.
*NOTE: If the dryer is mounted on a pedestal, the gas pipe height
must be an additional 10" (25.4 cm) or 15.5" (39.4 cm) from the

18" (46 cm) from the floor.

Rigid metal vent
■ For best drying performance, rigid metal vents are
recommended.

kinking.
Flexible metal vent
■ Flexible metal vents are acceptable only if accessible for
cleaning.
■ Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported
when the dryer is in its final location.
■ Remove excess flexible metal vent to avoid sagging and
kinking that may result in reduced airflow and poor
performance.
■ Do not install flexible metal vent in enclosed walls, ceilings or
floors.
Elbows
45° elbows provide better airflow than 90° elbows.
