butane) gases with appropriate conversion.
Gas supply line must include 1/8" NPT minimum plugged tapping

supply 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. Lengths over 20 ft (6.1 m)
should use larger tubing and a different size adapter fitting. Gas
supply line coupling must be 34" (864 mm) to 37" (940 mm) from the

electrical supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is
recommended. It is also recommended that a separate circuit serving
only this appliance be provided.
