dryer. Large-capacity lint screens of proper design may be used in
main vent if checked and cleaned frequently. The room where the
dryers are located should have make-up air equal to or greater than
CFM of all the dryers in the room.
Back-draft Damper Kit, Part No. 339191 O, is available from your
distributor and should be installed in the vent of each dryer to
keep exhausted air from returning into dryers and to keep exhaust
in balance within main vent. Unobstructed return air openings are
required.
Each vent should enter the main vent at an angle pointing in
the direction of the airflow. Vents entering from the opposite side
should be staggered to reduce the exhausted air from interfering
with the other vents.
The maximum angle of each vent entering the main vent should be
no more than 30 ° .
Keep air openings free of dry cleaning fluid fumes. Fumes create
acids which, when drawn through the dryer heating units, can
damage dryers and items being dried.
A clean-out cover should be located on the main vent for periodic
cleaning of the vent system.
Make Gas Connection
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install dryer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
1. Remove red cap from gas pipe on back of dryer.
2. Connect gas supply to dryer. Use a pipe thread compound
approved for the type of gas supplied. If flexible metal tubing is
used, be certain there are no kinks.
If necessary for service, open the toe panel. Use a putty knife to
press on the toe panel locks located at the upper corners of the
toe panel. Pull downward on the toe panel to open. Toe panel is
hinged at the bottom.
3. Open the shut-off valve in the gas supply line and make sure
the dryer has its own gas supply opened.
4. Test all connections by brushing on an approved noncorrosive
leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show a leak. Correct any
leaks found.
GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION

GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION
Type of Gas
This dryer is equipped for use with natural gas. It is design-certified
by CSA International for LP (propane and butane) gases with
appropriate conversion. No attempt shall be made to convert dryer
from gas specified on serial/rating plate for use with a different gas
without consulting the serving gas supplier. Conversion must be
done by a qualified service technician.
Gas conversion kit part numbers are listed on gas valve burner
base.
Gas Supply Line
Recommended Method
Provide a gas supply line of 1/2" (13 mm) rigid (IPS) pipe to dryer
location. Pipe joint compounds that resist action of LP gas must be
used. Do not use TEFLON :_ttape. With LP gas, piping or tubing
size can be 1/2" (13 mm) minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers
determine size and materials used in the system.
Flexible Metal Appliance Connector
It is recommended that a new flexible stainless steel gas line,
design-certified by CSA International, be used for connecting the
dryer to the gas supply line. (The gas pipe which extends through
the lower rear of the dryer is provided with 3/8" male pipe thread.)
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
A 1/8" NPT minimum plugged tapping, accessible for gauge
testing, must be installed immediately downstream of the installed
shut-off valve to the dryer (as shown above). The dryer must
be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of
1/2" psig (352 kg/m2).
Alternate Method
The gas supply may also be connected using 3/8" (10 mm)
approved copper or aluminum tubing. If the total length of the
supply line is more than 20 ft. (6.1 m), larger tubing will be
required.
If using natural gas, do not use copper tubing. Pipe joint
compounds that resist action of type of gas supplied must
be used.
Shut-off valve required
The supply line must be equipped with a manual shut-off valve
installed within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of dryer in accordance with National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. This valve should be located in
same room as dryer. It should be in a location that allows ease
of opening and closing. Do not block access to shut-off valve.
In Canada, an individual manual shut-off valve must be installed in
accordance with the B149 installation codes CAN/CGA B149.1
and CAN/CGA B149.2.
NOTE: Do not kink or damage the flexible stainless steel gas line
when moving the dryer.
Rigid Pipe Connection
The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe fittings
to obtain an in-line connection to the dryer.
