to the gas supplier and local codes, 3/8" approved
tubing may be used for lengths under 20 ft (6.1 m).
For lengths over 20 ft (6.1 m), larger tubing should be
used. Pipe-joint compounds resistant to the action of
L.P. gas must be used. An individual manual shutoff
valve must be installed within 6 ft (1.8 m) of the dryer
in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1.
