WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, THIS DRYER 

MUST BE EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.
n

   Following these venting requirements will minimise ducting  

air noise.

n

   Gas dryers should only be installed in a room if the room  

meets the appropriate ventilation requirements specified  

in the national installation regulations. Make sure the room 

containing the dryer has an adequate air supply for gas 

combustion and drying operation. A window or equivalent 

means of ventilation must be opened in the room when the 

dryer is in use (an equivalent form of opening includes an 

adjustable louver, hinged panel, or other means of ventilation 

that opens directly to outside air). Adequate ventilation has  

to be provided to avoid the backflow of gases into the room 

from other fuel-burning appliances, including open fires  

(i.e. available airflow into the room should match airflow  

out from the room).

n

   The design of the flue system should be such that any 

condensate formed when operating the dryer from cold  

shall either be retained and subsequently re-evaporated or 

discharged. Following these instructions should adequately 

meet this requirement.

n

   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.

n

   Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.

n

   Do not install flexible metal vent in enclosed walls, ceilings,  

or floors.

n

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

may be used.

n

   Use clamps to seal all joints. Vent must not be connected  

or secured with screws or other fastening devices which 

extend into the interior of the vent and catch lint. Do not  

use duct tape.

Flexible metal appliance connector
n

   It is recommended that a new flexible stainless steel gas line, 

design-certified by CSA International, be used for connecting 

the dryer to the gas supply line. (The gas pipe which extends 

through the lower rear of the dryer is provided with 3/8" male 

pipe thread.) 

n

   Do not kink or damage the flexible stainless steel gas line 

when moving the dryer.

Rigid pipe connection
The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe fittings 

to obtain an in-line connection to the dryer. 

n

   Must include a shut-off valve:

 

 The supply line must be equipped with a manual shut-off 

valve. In the U.S., the valve 

must be installed within  

6 ft. (1.8 m) of dryer in 

accordance with National 

Fuel Gas Code, ANSI 

Z223.1. In Canada, an 

individual manual shut-off 

valve must be installed in 

accordance with the B149 

installation codes CAN/

CGA B149.1 and CAN/

CGA B149.2. This valve 

should be located in the 

same room as the dryer. It 

should be in a location that 

allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to 

shut-off valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to 

the dryer.

n

   Installed in a confined area:

 

 If the dryer is installed in a confined area such as a bathroom, 

provision must be made for enough air for combustion and 

ventilation. Check governing codes and ordinances or refer to 

the “Recessed Area Installation Instructions” in the “Location 

Requirements” section.

A 1/8" NPT minimum plugged tapping, accessible for gauge 

testing, must be installed immediately upstream of the installed 

shut-off valve to the dryer. 
The dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply piping 

system during any pressure testing of the system at test 

pressures in excess of 1/2 psig.

Recommended method
n

   Provide a gas supply line of 1/2" rigid (IPS) pipe to the dryer 

location. Pipe joint compounds that resist the action of LP  

gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON

®†

 tape. With LP gas, 

piping or tubing size can be 1/2" minimum. Usually, LP gas 

suppliers determine the size and materials used in the system.

 Alternate  method
n

   The gas supply may also be connected using 3/8" approved 

copper or aluminum tubing. If the total length of the supply 

line is more than 20 feet (6.1 m), larger tubing will be required. 

If using natural gas, do not use copper tubing. Pipe joint 

compounds that resist the action of LP gas must be used.
