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. (Time-

delay 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.
