Gas supply requirements

Installation Requirements

WARNING

EXPLOSION HAZARD

Uncoated copper tubing will corrode when subjected to natural gas, causing gas leaks. Use ONLY black iron, stainless steel, or plasticcoated brass piping for gas supply.

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, ﬂ exible 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.

Exhaust system requirements

Use only 4 inch (102 mm) diameter (minimum) rigid or ﬂ exible 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.

4. The gas supply line MUST have an individual shutoff valve.

5. A 1/8 inch (0.32 cm) N.P.T. 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.

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

Failure to follow these instructions can create excessive drying times and ﬁ re hazards.

The following are speciﬁ c requirements for proper and safe operation of your dryer.

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

Do not install a clothes dryer with ﬂ exible plastic or metal foil venting materials. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airﬂ ow and increase the risk of ﬁ re.

Correct Incorrect

If your present system is made up of plastic duct or metal foil duct, replace it with a rigid or semirigid metal duct. Also, ensure the present duct is free of any lint prior to installing dryer duct.

Installation Requirements

Exhaust system requirements, continued

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

A clothes dryer must be exhausted outdoors. Do not exhaust dryer into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space or any concealed space of a building. A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. If the dryer is not exhausted outdoors, some ﬁ ne lint will be expelled into the laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any area of the home can create a health and ﬁ re hazard.

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.

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

Do not allow combustible materials (for • example: clothing, draperies/curtains, paper) to come in contact with exhaust system. The dryer MUST NOT be exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, or any concealed space of a building which can accumulate lint, resulting in a ﬁ re hazard.

Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent • system, or use any screws, rivets or other fasteners that extend into the duct to assemble the exhaust system. Lint can become caught in the screen, on the screws or rivets, clogging the duct work and creating a ﬁ re hazard as well as increasing drying times. Use an approved vent hood to terminate the duct outdoors, and seal all joints with metal foil tape. All male duct pipe ﬁ ttings MUST be installed downstream with the ﬂ ow of air.

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

Do not install ﬂ exible plastic or ﬂ exible foil • venting material.

If installing semi-rigid venting, do not exceed 8 • ft. (2.4 m) duct length.

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.

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

Exceeding the length of duct pipe or number of elbows allowed in the “MAXIMUM LENGTH” charts can cause an accumulation of lint in the exhaust system. Plugging the system could create a ﬁ re hazard, as well as increase drying times.

See also CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS on the next page.

NOTE

Use of 90° quick-turn elbow required to meet minimum installation depth.

Installation Requirements

Exhaust system requirements, continued

WARNING

EXPLOSION HAZARD

Do not install the dryer where gasoline or other ﬂ ammables are kept or stored. If the dryer is installed in a garage, it must be a minimum of 18 inches (45.7 cm) above the ﬂ oor. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, ﬁ re or burns.

In installations where the exhaust system is not described in the charts, the following method must be used to determine if the exhaust system is acceptable:

1. Connect an inclined or digital manometer between the dryer and the point the exhaust connects to the dryer.

2. Set the dryer timer and temperature to air ﬂ uff (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.

Install male ﬁ ttings in correct direction:

CORRECT

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.

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.

INCORRECT

Manufactured or mobile home installation

Installation MUST conform to current 1. 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. Dryer MUST be exhausted outside (outdoors, not 2. 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. If dryer is exhausted through the ﬂ oor and 3. 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. Refer to previous sections in this guide for other 4. important exhaust venting system requirements. When installing a gas dryer into a mobile home, 5. 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. Installer MUST anchor this (1) dryer or (2) dryer 6. mounted on pedestal to the ﬂ oor with approved Mobile Home Installation Kit - P/N 137067200.
