Natural gas, do not use copper tubing. Lengths over 20 ft (6.1 m)
should use larger tubing and a different size adapter fitting. Gas
supply line coupling must be 34" (864 mm) to 37" (940 mm) from the

Select the route that will provide the straightest and most direct path
outdoors. Plan the installation to use the fewest number of elbows
and turns. Use the fewest 90° turns possible.
Do not use vent runs longer than specified in vent length chart.
Determine the number of elbows
you will need.

NOTE: Side exhaust adds a 90° turn inside the washer/dryer. To 
determine maximum exhaust length, add one 90° turn to the 
chart.
