Technical Gas Data

a. Gas Specifications

* Measured at gas valve pressure tap when the gas valve is on.

** For elevations up to 2,000 feet (610 meters).

W.C. = Water Column in inches.

N.P.T. = National Pipe Thread.

b. Natural Gas

Regulation is controlled by each gas valve’s internal regulator. Incoming supply pressure must be

consistent between a minimum of 6.0 inches (14.92 mb) and a maximum of 12.0 inches water column

(29.9 mb) pressure.

c. Liquid Propane (L.P.) Gas

Dryers made for use with L.P. gas have the gas valve’s internal pressure regulator blocked open so that

the gas pressure must be regulated upstream of the dryer. The pressure measured at each gas valve

pressure tap must be a consistent 10.5 inches water column (26.1 mb). There is no regulator or regulation

provided in a L.P. dryer. The water column pressure must be regulated at the source (L.P. tank) or an

external regulator must be added to each dryer.

3. Piping Connections

ALL components/materials must conform to National Fuel Gas Code Specifications ANSI Z223.1-LATEST

EDITION, or in Canada, CAN/CGA-B149.1-M91 (Natural Gas) or CAN/CGA-B149.2-M91 (L.P. Gas) or

LATEST EDITION (for General Installation and Gas Plumbing), as well as local codes and ordinances and

must be done by a qualified professional. It is important that gas pressure regulators meet applicable

pressure requirements, and that gas meters be rated for the total amount of ALL the appliance BTUs being

supplied.
