supply connection to the dryer. 1/2" IPS pipe is recommended. 3/8"
approved aluminum or copper tubing is acceptable for lengths under
20 ft (6.1 m) if local codes and gas supplier permit. If you are using
Natural gas, do not use copper tubing. Lengths over 20 ft (6.1 m)

electrical supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is
