Hi mike. Thank you for reaching out regarding your Samsung - 7.5 Cu. Ft. Gas Dryer with Steam and FlexDry on what part do I need to convert this gas dryer to L.P. Regarding your concern, here are the details you need to consider. Use only natural or L.P. (liquid propane) gases. • The installation must be confirmed with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the national fuel gas code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, latest revision(for the UNITED STATES), or with the natural gas and propane installation code, C.S.A. B149.1(for Canada). • Gas dryers are equipped with a burner vent for use with natural gas. If you plan to use your dryer with L.P. (liquid propane) gas, a qualified service technician must convert it for safe and proper performance. (L.N.G. models only) You must check the burner of your model and use the proper LP Kit accordingly. To check the detailed information of the burner, open the door and check the rating label located on the door frame. - 20,000 BTU: LPKIT-4/XAA (DC98-04114A) - 22,000 BTU: LPKIT-3/XAA (DC99-00792A) • A 1/2” (1.27 cm) gas supply line is recommended and must be reduced to connect to the 3/8” (1 cm) gas line on your dryer. The National Fuel Gas Code requires that an accessible, approved manual gas shut-off valve be installed within 6” of your dryer. • Gas dryers installed in residential garages must be raised 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor. • Additionally, a 1/8” (0.3 cm) N.P.T. (National Pipe Thread) plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge connection, must be installed immediately upstream of your dryer’s gas supply connection. • Your dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply pipe system during any pressure testing of the system. • Do not reuse old flexible metal gas lines. Flexible gas lines must be designed and certified by the standard for connectors for Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.24 • CSA 6.10. NOTE • Your dryer uses an automatic ignition system to ignite the burner. There is no constant burning pilot. • Any pipe joint compound used must be resistant to the action of any liquefied petroleum gas. • As a courtesy, most local gas utilities will inspect a gas appliance installation.
