I.:j..jv ~~,
Association for use at altitudes up to
10,000 feet above sea level at the B.T.U. rating
indicated on the model/serial plate. Burner input
adjustments are not required when the dyer is
operated up to this elevation.
When installed above 10,000 feet, a four
percent (4%) reduction of the burner B.T.U.
rating shown on the model/serial plate is
required for each 1,000 foot increase in
elevation. For assistance when converting to
other gas types and/or installing above 10,000
feet elevation, contact your local service
company.

p: Provide a
rigid gas supply.line
to the
r
+&z+ dyer location. When rigid pipe IS used it
should be l/2 inch IPS. When
acceptable to the gas supplier, 3/8-inch
approved tubing may be used for lengths under
20 feet. For lengths over 20 feet, larger tubing
should be used. Pipe-joint compounds resistant
to the action of L.P. gas must be used.

closet, provision must be made for
enough air for combustion and ventilation.
(Check governing codes and ordinances.) Also
refer to the “Recessed and closet installation
instructions” on Panel C.

If local codes permit, it is recommended
that new flexible metal tubing, design-
certified by the American Gas
Association, be used for connecting the
appliance to the gas supply line. (The gas pipe
which extends through the lower rear of the
appliance has 3/8-inch male pipe thread.)
If rigid pipe is used as a gas
supply line, a combination of
pipe fittings must be used to
obtain an in-line connection to the dyer.

Make sure that lower edges of the
;gj E:
cabinet, plus the back and bottom sides
of the dyer are free of obstructions to
permit adequate clearance of air openings for
combustion air. See “Recessed and closet
installation instructions,” on Panel C, for
minimum spacing requirements.
For ease of installation, operating and
servicing (if ever needed), adequate
space should be provided around
the dyer.

A l/8-inch NPT plugged tapping,
Pg. s accessible for test gauge connection,
must be installed immediately upstream
of the gas supply connection to the dyer.
The dyer and its individual shutoff valve must
be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of that
system at test pressures in excess of l/2 psig
(3.45 kPa).
The dyer must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual
shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the
gas supply piping system at test pressures
equal to or less than l/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
