G. GAS INFORMATION

It is your responsibility to have ALL plumbing connections made by a qualified professional to assure that the gas

plumbing installation is adequate and conforms with local and state regulations or codes. In the absence of such

codes, ALL plumbing connections, materials, and workmanship must conform to the applicable requirements of

the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1-LATEST EDITION.

IMPORTANT: Failure to comply with these codes or ordinances, and/or the requirements stipulated

in this manual, CAN RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY and IMPROPER

OPERATION OF THE DRYER.

The dryer and its individual shut-off valves must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any

pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). The dryer must be isolated from

the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure test of the gas

supply system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

IMPORTANT: Failure to isolate or disconnect the dryer from supply as noted can cause irreparable

damage to the gas valve which will VOID THE WARRANTY.

WARNING: FIRE or EXPLOSION COULD RESULT.

1. Gas Supply

The gas dryer installation must meet the American National Standard...National Fuel Gas Code ANSI

Z223.1-LATEST EDITION, as well as local codes and ordinances and must be done by a qualified

professional.

NOTE: Undersized gas piping will result in ignition problems, slow drying, increased use of energy, and

can create a safety hazard.

The dryer must be connected to the type of heat/gas indicated on the dryer label affixed behind the right

control box door. If this information does not agree with the type of gas available, DO NOT operate the

dryer. Contact the distributor who sold the dryer or the ADC factory.

IMPORTANT: Any burner changes or conversions must be made by a qualified professional.

The input ratings shown on the dryer data label are for elevations up to 2,000 feet, unless elevation

requirements of over 2,000 feet were specified at the time the dryer order was placed with the factory. The

adjustment or conversion of dryers in the field for elevations over 2,000 feet are made by changing each

burner orifice. If this conversion is necessary, contact the distributor who sold the dryer or contact the ADC

factory.
