Flexible stainless steel gas connector:
■ If local codes permit, use a new flexible stainless steel gas
connector (Design Certified by the American Gas Association
or CSA international) to connect your dryer to the rigid gas
supply line. Use an elbow and a
fitting between the stainless steel gas connector and the
dryer gas pipe, as needed to prevent kinking.
Option 2 (Alternate method)
Approved aluminum or copper tubing:
■ Lengths under 20 ft (6.1 m) can use %" approved tubing (if
codes and gas supplier permit).
■ if you are using natural gas, do not use copper tubing.
■ %" flare X %" NPT adapter fitting between dryer pipe and
%" approved tubing.
■ Lengths over 20 ft (6.1 m) shouid use iarger tubing and a
different size adapter fitting.
■ if your dryer has been converted to use L.P. gas, %" L.P.
compatible copper tubing can be used. If the total length of
the supply line is more than 20 ft (6.1 m), use iarger tubing.
NOTE: Pipe joint compounds that resist the action of L.P. gas
must be used. Do not use TEFLON®^ tape.

the B.T.U. rating indicated on the model^eriai number piate.
Burner input adjustments are not required when the dryer is
operated up to this elevation.
Elevations above 10,000 ft (3,048 meters):
■ When installed above 10,000 ft (3,048 m) a 4% reduction of
the burner B.T.U. rating shown on the model/serial number
plate is required for each 1,000 ft (305 m) increase in
elevation.

■ The dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent,
chimney, wall, ceiling, or a conceaied space of a building.
■ Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.
■ Do not install flexible metal vent in enciosed walls, ceilings or
floors.
■ Use clamps to seal all joints. Exhaust vent must not be
connected or secured with screws or other fastening devices
which extend into the interior of the duct. Do not use duct
tape.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
A. NPT gas supply tine
B. W NPT dryer pipe
*NOTE: If the dryer is mounted on a pedestal, the gas pipe height
must be an additional 14" (35.56 cm) from the floor.
t<E>TEFLON is a registered trademark of E.l. Du Pont De Nemours and Company.
Improper venting can cause moisture and lint to collect
indoors, which may result in;
■ Moisture damage to woodwork, furniture, paint,
wallpaper, carpets, etc.
■ Housecleaning probiems and health problems.
Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
Rigid metal vent is recommended to prevent crushing and
kinking.
Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported when
the dryer is in its final position. Remove excess flexible metal vent
to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in reduced airflow
and poor performance.
An exhaust hood should cap the vent to prevent rodents and
insects from entering the home.
Exhaust hood must be at least 12" (30.5 cm) from the ground or
any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as
flowers, rocks or bushes, etc.).
If using an existing vent system, clean lint from the entire length
of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged with
lint. Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with rigid metal or
flexible metal vent.

portion of the mobile home structure and must not terminate
beneath the mobile home. Terminate the exhaust vent outside.
The angled hood style (shown following) is acceptable.
^ 2V2"
(6.4 cm)
See the exhaust vent length chart that matches your hood
type for the maximum vent lengths you can use.
Exhaust systems longer than specified will:
■ Shorten the life of the dryer.
■ Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and
increased energy usage.
3. Determine the number of elbows you will need.
IMPORTANT: Do not use vent runs longer than specified in
the Vent Length Chart.
The following chart helps you determine your maximum vent
length based on the number of 90° turns or elbows you will
need and the type of vent (rigid or flexible metal) and hood
that you will use.
Vent Length Chart
Determine Vent Length
1. Select the route that will provide the straightest and most
direct path outdoors. Plan the installation to use the fewest
number of elbows and turns. When using elbows or making
turns, allow as much room as possible. Bend vent gradually
to avoid kinking. Avoid 90° turns when possible.

2. Determine vent length
The maximum length of the exhaust system depends upon:
■ The type of vent (rigid metal or flexible metal).
■ The number of elbows used.
■ Type of hood.
