29" and 27" Gas Dryer
PRODUCT MODEL NUMBERS
MGDC500V MGDC700V
Gas supply: This dryer is equipped for
use with Natural gas. It is design-certified by CSA International for LP (propane or butane) gases with appropriate conversion. The gas line must include 1/8" NPT minimum plugged tapping accessible for test gauge connection, immediately upstream of the gas connection to the dryer. 1/2" IPS pipe is recommended.
3/8" approved aluminum or copper tubing is acceptable for lengths under 20 ft (6.1 m) if local codes and gas supplier permit.
If you are using Natural gas, do not use copper tubing.
3/8" flare x 3/8" NPT adapter fitting between dryer pipe and 3/8" approved tubing. Lengths over 20 ft (6.1 m) should use larger tubing and a different size adapter fitting.
If your dryer has been converted to use LP gas, 3/8" LP compatible copper tubing can be used. If the total length of the supply line is more than 20 ft (6.1 m), use larger pipe. NOTE: Pipe-joint compounds that resist
the action of LP gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON®† tape.
Must include a shutoff valve.
In the U.S.A.:
An individual manual shutoff valve must be installed within six (6) feet (1.8 m) of the dryer in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
In Canada:
An individual manual shutoff valve must be installed in accordance with the B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code. It is recommended that an individual manual shutoff valve be installed within six (6) feet (1.8 m) of the dryer.
The location should be easy to reach for opening and closing.
Electrical: 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15or 20-amp fused electrical supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. It is also recommended that a separate circuit serving only this dryer be provided. Exhaust venting: Exhaust your dryer to
the outside. 4" (102 mm) diameter vent is required. Rigid or flexible metal exhaust vent must be used. Do Not use plastic or metal foil vent. Exhaust outlet hood must be at least 12" (305 mm) from the ground or any object that may be in the path of the exhaust.
