Your water supply pressure to the ENERGY STAR® Certified LG 4.5 Cu. Ft. HE Smart Front Load Washer and 7.4 Cu. Ft. Gas Dryer WashTower™ with Steam and Built-In Intelligence - White, Model # WKG101HWA must be between 20 psi and 120 psi (138 - 827 kPa) If your water pressure is more than 120 psi, a pressure reducing valve must be installed. A reducer valve for a washer is a device that reduces the high incoming water pressure from the city mains to provide a lower, more functional pressure for distribution in the home. It helps protect the washing machine and ensures safe and efficient operation. The reducer valve for a gas dryer is a component of a whole-house system located outside the house. Most propane appliances, including gas dryers, including the gas dryer on this unit, come with a factory-installed regulator. The gas pressure must not exceed 8-inch (20.4 cm) water column for NG, or 13-inch (33.1 cm) water column for LP. The dryer is configured for natural gas when shipped from the factory. You will need to make sure that the dryer is equipped with the correct burner nozzle for the type of gas being used (natural gas or propane gas). If you are converting the gas dryer from natural gas to propane, you will need to order the correct nozzle (for the LP nozzle kit, order part number 383EEL3002D). It should be installed by a qualified technician and the change should be noted on the dryer...^Ivan.
