Installation Requirements
Gas supply requirements
1. Installation MUST conform with local codes, or
in the absence of local codes, with the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition).
2. The gas supply line should be 1/2 inch (1.27
cm) pipe.
3. If codes allow, flexible metal tubing may be
used to connect your dryer to the gas supply
line. The tubing MUST be constructed of
stainless steel or plastic-coated brass.
.
The gas supply line MUST have an individual
shutoff valve.
5.
A 1/8 inch (0.32 cm) N.RT. plugged tapping,
accessible for test gauge connection, MUST
be installed immediately upstream of the gas
supply connection to the dryer.
6. The dryer MUST be disconnected from the
gas supply piping system during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
7. The dryer MUST be isolated from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of the
gas supply piping system at test pressures equal
to or less than 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
8. Connections for the gas supply must comply
with the Standard for Connectors for Gas
Appliances, ANSI Z21.24.
Exhaust system requirements
Use only 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter (minimum) rigid
or flexible metal duct and approved vent hood
which has a swing-out damper(s) that open when
the dryer is in operation. When the dryer stops,
the dampers automatically close to prevent drafts
and the entrance of insects and rodents. To avoid
restricting the outlet, maintain a minimum of 12
inches (30.5 cm) clearance between the vent hood
and the ground or any other obstruction.
The following are specific requirements
for proper and safe operation of your
dryer.
Correct Incorrect
If your present system _smade up of plastic
duct or metal foil duct, replace it with a rigid or
semi-rigid metal duct. In Canada and the United
States if metal (foil type) duct is installed, it must
be of a specific type identified by the appliance
manufacturer as suitable for use with clothes
dryers and inthe United States must also comply
with the Outline for Clothes Dryer Transition Duct,
UL standard 2158A. Also, ensure the present duct
is free of any lint prior to installing dryer duct.
installation Requirements
Exhaust system requirements, continued
The dryer must be connected to an exhaust
outdoors. Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust
opening and remove any accumulation of lint
around the outdoor exhaust opening and in the
surrounding area.

is acceptable:
CORRECT INCORRECT
Installation Requirements
Exhaust system requirements, continued
Compression or crimping of the exhaust system
will cause an increase in vent restriction.
The exhaust system should be inspected and
cleaned a minimum of every 18 months with
normal usage. The more the dryer is used,
the more often you should check the exhaust
system and vent hood for proper operation.
.
Connect an inclined or digital manometer
between the dryer and the point the exhaust
connects to the dryer.
.
Set the dryer timer and temperature to air fluff
(cool down) and start the dryer.
3.
Read the measurement on the manometer.
4.
The system back pressure MUST NOT be
higher than 1.0 inch of water column. If the
system back pressure is less than 1.0 inch of
water column, the system is acceptable. If the
manometer reading is higher than 1.0 inch of
water column, the system is too restrictive and
the installation is unacceptable.
Although vertical orientation of the exhaust system
is acceptable, certain extenuating circumstances
could affect the performance of the dryer:
• Only the rigid metal duct work should be used.
Venting vertically through a roof may expose
the exhaust system to down drafts causing an
increase in vent restriction.
Running the exhaust system through an
uninsulated area may cause condensation and
faster accumulation of lint.
Exhaust direction
Directional exhausting can be accomplished by
installing a quick-turn 90° dryer vent elbow directly
to exhaust outlet of dryer. Dryer vent elbows are
available through your local parts distributor or
hardware store.
See also CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS on the
next page.
Manufactured or mobile home installation
1. Installation MUST conform to current
Manufactured Home Construction & Safety
Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 32-80 (formerly the
Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction
and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280) or Standard
CAN/CSAZ240 MH.
2. Dryer MUST be exhausted outside (outdoors, not
beneath the mobile home) using metal ducting
that will not support combustion. Metal ducting
must be 4 inches (10.16 cm) in diameter with no
obstructions. Rigid metal duct is preferred.
3. If dryer is exhausted through the floor and
area beneath the mobile home is enclosed,
the exhaust system MUST terminate outside
the enclosure with the termination securely
fastened to the mobile home structure.
4. Refer to previous sections in this guide for other
important exhaust venting system requirements.
5. When installing a gas dryer into a mobile home,
a provision must be made for outside make up
air. This provision is to be not less than twice
the area of the dryer exhaust outlet.
6. Installer MUST anchor this (1) dryer or (2) dryer
mounted on pedestal to the floor with approved
Mobile Home Installation Kit - P/N 137067200.
