INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Water supply requirements
Hot and cold water faucets MUST be installed within 42
inches (107 cm) of your washer’s water inlet. The faucets
MUST be 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) with threading for laundry
hose connection. Water pressure MUST be between
10 psi (0.69 bars) and 120 psi (8.27 bars). Pressure
difference between hot and cold cannot be more than 10
psi. Your water department can advise you of your water
pressure.
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Uncoated copper tubing will corrode when subjected
to natural gas, causing gas leaks. Use ONLY black iron,
stainless steel, or plastic-coated brass piping for gas
supply.

1 Installation MUST conform with local codes, or in
the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition).
2 The gas supply line should be 1/2 inch (1.27 cm)
pipe.
3 If codes allow, fl exible metal tubing may be used
to connect your dryer to the gas supply line. The
tubing MUST be constructed of stainless steel or
plastic-coated brass.
4 The gas supply line MUST have an individual
shutoff valve installed in accordance with the
B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.
5 A 1/8 inch (0.32 cm) N.P.T. plugged tapping,
accessible for test gauge connection, MUST be
installed immediately upstream of the gas supply
connection to the dryer.
6 The dryer MUST be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure testing
of the gas supply piping system at test pressures in
excess of 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
7 The dryer MUST be isolated from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of the
gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to
or less than 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
8 Connections for the gas supply must comply with
the Standard for Connectors for Gas Appliances,
ANSI Z21.24.
NOTE
Washers connected to water supplies with lower inlet
pressure will experience longer fi lling times and may
not complete cycles as quickly.
