Gas supply: Dryer is equipped for use with
Natural gas. Dryer can be converted to L.P. gas.
When rigid pipe is used it should be 1/2" IPS.
When acceptable to the gas supplier and local
codes, 3/8" approved aluminum or copper tubing
may be used for lengths under 20 feet (6.1 m). For
lengths over 20 feet (6.1 m), larger tubing should
be used. Pipe-joint compounds resistant to the
action of L.P. gas must be used. If local codes
permit, it is recommended that new flexible metal
tubing, design-certified by CSA, be used for
connecting the appliance to the rigid gas supply
line. (The gas pipe which extends through the
lower rear of the appliance has 3/8" male pipe
thread.) An individual manual shutoff valve must
be installed within 6 feet (1.8 m) of the dryer in
accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1.

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.

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.
