5. GAS REQUIREMENTS. The complete gas requirements necessary to operate the dryer satisfactorily are listed
on the serial plate located on the back panel of the dryer.
The inlet gas connection to the unit is 1/2 inch [12.7] for the T-50, 3/4 inch [19.1] for the T-80/T-120 and 1 inch
[25.4] for the T-170.
An individual gas shutoff valve is recommended for each dryer and may be required by local code (not supplied).
A joint compound resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gases should be employed in making pipe
connections.
All pipe connections should be checked for leakage with soap solution. Never check with an open flame.
A drip tee should be provided in the gas piping entering the unit to catch dirt and other foreign articles.
A 1/8 inch [3.2] NPT threaded test port, accessible for test gage connection, must be installed immediately
upstream of the gas supply connection to the dryer to check the supply pressure. Test and adjust the supply
pressure to ensure compliance with the specification listed on the serial plate.
The recommended natural gas supply pressure is 7 inches water column (17.8 cm) at each dryer.
There is a plugged 1/8 inch [3.2] NPT threaded test port in the end of the burner manifold for checking the
manifold pressure. With the burner in operation, check and adjust the dryer's gas control valve to ensure
compliance with the specification listed on the serial plate for manifold pressure.
After testing, be sure to replace the 1/8 inch [3.2] NPT plugs in the manifold and in the supply line test port using
joint compound before operating the dryer.
For altitudes above 2,000 feet (610m) it is necessary to de-rate the BTU input. Contact your local distributor for
instructions.
L.P. gas conversion kits are available for this dryer. Contact your local distributor.
The dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of
CAUTION:
that system. Do not expose the dryer's gas control valve to testing pressure.
6. EXHAUST INSTALLATION. Exhausting of the dryer(s) should be planned and constructed so that no air
restrictions occur. Any restriction due to pipe size or type of installation can cause slow drying time, excessive
heat, and lint in the room.
From an operational standpoint, incorrect or inadequate exhausting can cause a cycling of the high limit thermostat
which shuts off the main burners and results in inefficient drying.
Individual exhausting of the dryers is recommended. All heat, moisture, and lint should be exhausted outside
by attaching a pipe of the proper diameter to the dryer adapter collar and extending it out through an outside wall.
This pipe must be very smooth on the inside, as rough surfaces tend to collect lint which will eventually clog the
duct and prevent the dryer from exhausting properly. All elbows must be smooth on the inside. All joints must be
made so the exhaust end of one pipe is inside the next one downstream. The addition of an exhaust pipe
tends to reduce the amount of air the blower can exhaust. This does not affect the dryer operation if held within
practical limits. For the most efficient operation, it is recommended that no more than 14' (4.3m) of straight (8"
[20.3cm] for T-50/T-80, 10 or 12" [25.4 or 30.5cm] for T-120, 12" [30.5cm] for T-170) diameter pipe be used
