The flexible gas connector must not be twisted, kinked, or 

attached with any sharp bends.

Remove red cap from flexible gas connector. Remove the 

1/2" NPT adapter from the flexible gas connector (it will be

to tighten, connect gas supply to washer/dryer. Use pipe-

joint compound on threads of all non-flared male fittings.  

If flexible metal tubing is used, be sure there are no kinks.
