When acceptable to the gas supplier and local
codes, 3/8" approved aluminum or copper tubing
may be used for lengths under 20 ft (6.1 m). For
lengths over 20 ft (6.1 m), larger tubing should be
used. Pipe-joint compounds resistant to the action
of L.P. gas must be used. An individual manual
shutoff valve must be installed within 6 ft (1.8 m)
of the dryer in accordance with the National Fuel
Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.
Electrical: 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC only, electrical
supply is required on a separate 15- or 20-amp
circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A timedelay fuse or circuit breaker and a separate circuit
are recommended.

outside. 4" (10.2 cm) heavy metal exhaust vent
and clamps are required. Rigid or flexible metal
exhaust vent must be used. Do Not use plastic or
