For closet installation
with a door, minimum
ventilation openings in
the top and bottom of
the door are required.
Louvered doors with
equivalent air openings
are acceptable.
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.
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.
See the exhaust vent length chart that matches your hood type for the maximum vent
lengths you can use.
3. Determine the number of elbows you will need.
NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than specified in the Vent Length Chart.
The chart at left 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.

Gas supply:
1/2" IPS pipe is recommended.
3/8" approved tubing is acceptable for lengths
under 20 ft (6.1 m) if local codes and gas supplier
permit.
Must include 1/8" NPT minimum plugged tapping
accessible for test gauge connection, immediately
upstream of the gas connection to the dryer.
Must include a shutoff valve:
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. The location should be easy to reach for
opening and closing.
The gas pipe that comes out through the rear of
your dryer has a 3/8" male pipe thread.
Electrical: 120-Volt, 60-Hz., AC-only, 15- or
20-amp fused electrical supply is required. (Timedelay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.) It is
recommended that a separate circuit serving only
this dryer be provided.
Exhaust venting: Exhaust your dryer to the
outside. Four-inch 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" (30.5 cm) from the ground or
any object that may be in the path of the exhaust.

behind the dryer for the exhaust vent with elbow.
