A combination of pipe fittings must be used to connect dryer 

to existing gas line. A recommended connection is shown. 

Your connection may be different, according to supply line 

type, size, and location.

A. 3/8" flexible gas connector

B. 3/8" dryer pipe 

C. 3/8" to 3/8" pipe elbow

D. 3/8" pipe-to-flare adapter fitting

Open shut-off valve in supply line; valve is open when handle 

is parallel to gas pipe. Then, test all connections by brushing 

on an approved noncorrosive leak-detection solution. 

Bubbles will show a leak. Correct any leaks found.

on threads of all non-flared male fittings. If flexible metal  

tubing is used, be sure there are no kinks.

Venting

To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE 

EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.

Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent, 

chimney, wall, ceiling, attic, crawlspace, or a concealed space 

of a building. Only rigid or flexible metal vent shall be used for 

exhausting.

 

■

Only a 4" (102 mm) heavy metal exhaust vent and clamps may 

be used. 

 

■

Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.

 

■

Recommended for best drying performance and to avoid 

crushing and kinking.

(Acceptable only if accessible to 

clean)

 

■

Must be fully extended and supported in final dryer location.

 

■

Remove excess to avoid sagging and kinking that may result 

in reduced airflow and poor performance.

 

■

Do not install in enclosed walls, ceilings, or floors.

 

■

The total length should not exceed 7

 ft. (2.4 m).

If using an existing vent system, clean lint from entire 

length of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged 

with lint. Replace plastic or metal foil vents with rigid metal 

or flexible metal vents. Review “Vent System Chart” and, if 

necessary, modify existing vent system to achieve best drying 

performance.
