Skill Level: Expert - licensed professionals only
Tools List for Installing a Gas Clothes Dryer:
Pipe wrench (x2)
Drill
Hole saw
Screwdriver
Shopping List:
Gas pipes
Gas pipe fittings
Gas nipples
Pipe dope
Dryer vent
Dryer vent cover
Flexible gas connector
Gas leak detector
Gas tubing hanger
Steps:
1. Any work involving gas can be dangerous and should be left to a licensed professional.
2. Start by shutting off the gas at the meter using a wrench or at the nearest gas shutoff upstream of where the new gas work will happen.
3. Measure and connect a series of gas pipes, fittings and nipples to the source of the gas to the rough location of the dryer. Secure all the connections between the pipes and the fittings with pipe dope and tighten them with the wrenches.
4. At the bottom of the gas work closest to the dryer, add a drip cap to allow for a sediment clean out.
5. Connect the flexible gas line to the end of the new gas pipes and then to the gas fitting on the dryer using the wrenches.
6. Drill a hole in the exterior wall where the dryer will vent. Do this using the drill with a hole saw attachment.
7. Insert the dryer vent cover into the dryer vent and tighten the clamp with a screwdriver until it’s secure.
8. Feed the dryer vent into the wall and then screw the dryer vent cover to the exterior wall.
9. Connect the dryer vent to the dryer and secure it to the dryer using a clamp and the screwdriver.
10. Plug in the dryer (this power is only to spin the drum) and turn the gas back on.
11. Test all the new gas work for any leaks using a leak detector.
12. Once you’ve confirmed the gas work is all perfectly sealed, secure the pipes to the walls using screws and the gas tubing hangers.

Richard recommends that if the electrical service to the house is insufficient, a gas dryer could be a more suitable option for installation. Working with gas can be extremely dangerous, so, as with any other gas appliances in the house, this type of work should only be handled by a licensed professional.
Richard installed a 120V gas vented dryer, which is manufactured by GE Appliances (www.geapplianc.... The other materials he used for this installation, including the black gas pipes, fittings, nipples, and pipe dope, can all be found at home centers.

I don't recommend plastic louvered exhaust vents...I just got done replacing the one on our new house two weeks ago because a louver broke off... It was only three years old. The combination of exhaust heat from the dryer and UV from sunlight made the plastic extremely brittle. The remaining louvers literally crumbled in my hand.

I bought my house and was trying to work out how the dryer was vented. Checked the walls, the roof, attic, etc but still could find it. What I later realised they had vented it into the vent pipe for the plumbing.

[@n9wox]

I agree. After getting lint on them, the louvers tend to not want to close all the way and let in cold air. This style of vent works much better. www.lambro.net/product/4-dryer-vent-seal/

[@briancnc]

Richard, seriously? Flex duct? You rail against this and have even replaced it in other videos showing it's failures and downside with lint. Easiest run to do with rigid pipe, this was just beyond lazy. If you use rigid pipe you will almost never have to clean it. With heating/cooling cycles over time this mylar flex duct degrades and can open up.

[@Mike__B]

Was thinking the same thing, it's a straight shot too with the only elbows at the drier and the hole in the wall.

[@Brian-Burke]

You read my mind. I specifically remember the video of them comparing vent duct types.

[@Skammerd]

Between having to run the duct between a window boarded up with uninsulated plywood, and a 60A breaker box, I think he just wanted to get out of there. Did you see that he didn't even plug the dryer into the closest outlet? It probably didn't even work. I think the demo on having to run gas pipe was enough entertainment value. The homeowner could barely squeeze into the side of the house to help run the duct. This house didn't have a washer and dryer because it seriously wasn't equipped to handle it. I think Rich did his best in the time and budget allotted.

[@Mike__B]

@@Skammerd True, home owner probably bought the washer/dryer set (because for some reason they give you deals if you buy both but not just one), plus he bought the vent kit too and Rich just did the installation of the gas pipe to make it all happen. Heck the floor of the basement almost looked like dirt.

[@ClaytonNummer]

I'm a little disappointed that rigid ducting wasn't used for the dryer vent, especially with such an easy, short run...

[@StoneE4]

No need to be. Flexible duct works great. As long as your municipality's codes allow for it there is no problem in using it.

[@ClaytonNummer]

@@StoneE4 It might be adequate, but it will still collect more lint, and if the mylar type is used it's extremely flammable. I can justify doing things "good enough" when there's a good reason but the extra time/cost in this case would be minuscule.

[@augustreil]

@@ClaytonNummer, Agree.

[@StoneE4]

Clayton Nummer - The mylar flex duct becomes more and more brittle with each successive heat cycle from the dryer. Subsequently, it doesn't take too long before that stuff starts to fall apart. As to whether or not it's flammable, I don't know. But, I _seriously_ doubt that. Nonetheless, I strongly advise against using that crap. However, the foil type and the semi-rigid type are just fine to use. They may build up lint faster than rigid metal duct, but not enough to cause any safety concerns. The vast majority of lint build-up in dryer ducts is not due to the type of ductwork used, it's due to people not cleaning their lint screens, having too long a run, crushed ductwork, too many bends in the line, and foreign obstructions. Those issues can be just as big of a problem with rigid metal lines as with flex lines. There are two main rules to follow if you want to keep a dryer working properly and safely... (1.) Clean your lint screen every time you use it, and (2.) keep the vent line as short and straight as possible. Follow those rules and you won't have many problems with flex duct or rigid metal duct.

[@RupertAH]

I find it hilarious all the keyboard professionals that show up in the comment sections on This Old House and Ask This Old House episodes on KZbin who think they know better than people who have been doing their trades for decades. If rigid ducting wasn’t used there is a good reason for it.

I always thought that gas is this mortifying thing that can start to leak at any time because it is under pressure like water mains. But it turns out, I didn't knew, that gas is almost as strong pressure as your breath. If you have a gas pipe wide open, you can take your finger and gently put it on the hole and it will stop the pressure. It is literally as strong as your breath.. I was really surprised by it, I always thought that gas pipe, if broken, it will whistle gas like mains water, but it turns out that it isn't the case.

Can they run the washer, dryer, and air conditioner at the same time with that little panel?

[@ozziesheppard17]

ya, thats only about 25 amps, If they all switch to led lights and a efficent airconditioner 60 is "enough" if they dont have an electric oven or dryer. But its still tight to say the least.

[@briancarter1597]

Probably not. I have that same issue. I have to turn the AC off to use my washer/dryer.

[@ozziesheppard17]

@@briancarter1597 Well it depends of a few factors- the physical size of the panel is irrelevant, thats a 60 amp panel- which probably also leads to a sub panel somewhere. It really depends on your over all usage through out the house- by switch to all led you can save 15 amps easily in a house (equal to 2 window ac's) the running amperage of a two 1/2 ton system is about that much for a modern unit so just by switching out the light bulbs you effectively made room to run the ac 24/7 in addition to what you usually do. If you go around the house and cut out the wasteful usage you'll save a ton of energy and free up allot of amps even in a small panel.

I'm just going to add here that it's not as much about younger men not having the mechanical ability it's about them not having been introduced to a culture where you understand that you do have the mechanical ability You just have to dive in and figure it out. I've started more projects in my life that I had no idea how I was going to finish but I knew I either had a group of friends that knew or nowadays I had KZbin. Unless it was something that was inherently dangerous I was more than willing to jump in and still am. So more than the mechanical knowledge that my dad gave me which was largely directed at engines that use points and chokes and carburetors which is useless now or how you can put white lead in a differential and make it act like new for a little while, he let me know that I can figure it out. My kid comes home with a busted radiator... You go buy one and you put it in. KZbin is your best friend now

[@grumpyponies]

Is there a reason you're using steel piping as opposed to polyurethane which is being used as a replacement for many gas mains?

[@lopincol]

Plastic pipes are only allowed underground and not inside/outside buildings.

[@djscrizzle]

IPC and UPC, both model plumbing codes in the United States, call for laquored black iron pipe, or copper is allowed on propane systems. Most pipe fitters do thread their own on site from 21ft sticks, off their truck. And they use pipe dope almost universally. In some states, you'll find a left-right nipple and coupling used instead of unions.

[@ahaning]

My electric dryer (Roper/Whirlpool) had a no-start condition. The door switch, thermal fuses, timer, and motor all seemed good and the fuses and door switch tested OK. First I replaced the timer, no luck. Tried replacing the thermal fuse for fun since they're about $1-2 each when bought in bulk. Still no luck, but I do have enough dryer thermal fuses for the rest of my life. I broke down and ordered a new motor. STILL NO LUCK. Argh that thing was expensive! It turned out to be the motor wiring harness clip thing not making a good connection with the motor. A zip tie tied gently but snugly around a loop of the motor wires tightened things up and it's been running fine for over a year. A $0.05 zip tie fixed the problem. *smack* Gas dryers are going to be a little more complex than electric, but electric are so simple (with lots of safety features) that I can't imagine that the gas variants are that much more complex. If GE will fix it under warranty, good for you! If not, go with the simplest things first. AppliancePartsPros and KZbin videos are your friend.

Why not make sure that you are truly saved by Jesus Christ and practice this way. Remorsefully confess with your heart your sins to Jesus Christ who is God and tell Him that you right now are repenting of your sins and you want to be born again of the Spirit from above. Tell Jesus that you are remorsefully sorry for breaking His commandments and that you are begging for forgiveness from Him. Allow His blood from the cross to wash away your sins. After this is done with your heart successfully the Holy Spirit will come to live within you and He will rebuild you from the inside out. Look for signs that you are saved. Things like spreading the good news from Jesus, getting other people saved, a craving for the word of God, reading the Bible, etc… These things are known as a calling and fruit bearing. If you're not bearing fruit then keep doing it. Sometimes it takes time to get saved. Read Matthew chapter 13 from the King James Bible. God bless!!!

grandn 86 wait what’s so better about flexible?

[@grandn8646]

I think you misunderstood my comment. Rigid venting to me is much better, There is more chance of lint getting built up inside the ribs of flexible venting. To me, not a good idea, especially with it being a gas dryer.

Electrical next to gas line 🙈

The drain line on the washer is way too high

I have a had dryer collecting dust anyone want it?

Good project

[@venividivici4253]

Well sorry Homeowners. I never shop for a house that does not have modern electrical. Because I know it’s costly down the line. The first thing I check is the electrical panel and if it’s up to local codes. I’d hate to find out some hack job the previous owner did and now I have to find an electrician and pay him to fix it.

When to choose a rigid v. flex vent? Another recent dryer install video showed using rigid vent pipe. Neither indicates when one form is more suitable to a situation than the other.

[@nick4leader]

I have no idea why he chose that vent duct. Best would be rigid but secondarily there is a semi rigid one that's kind of in-between

[@CoasterCrazyy]

Hard pipe and elbows are always preferred over the flexible duct, if you are going to use flexible duct use as little as possible. Its only used so that you can make the connection and have the dryer be closer to the wall. Connecting hard pipe to the dryer when it up against the wall can be very difficult.

so they cant dry clothes by hanging them?

[@stevesullivan9752]

No. Let me guess... you have an outhouse?

[@Kauppamopo]

@@stevesullivan9752 no but we still dry our clothes by hanging lmao its almost free

Oh Richard, that vent pipe was horrifying. You’re better than this, Richard. Much better. 🙃

[@jeremymedlock9626]

WHY did they choose a gas dryer? It's dangerous and more expensive. You can save money by getting an electric dryer. . .

[@davidmurphy6088]

If they went with an electric dryer they would have upgrade the electrical panel. That would have cost quite a bit more than a gas dryer and new gas line.

[@oldtwinsna8347]

because it was Richards segment. if they upgraded panel would've had to call in Scott Caron and he wasn't available

[@rustybeatty6567]

Gas dryers cost less to buy one and cost less to operate and dry clothes faster to witch saves money and the cost less to maintain no heating element to replace and the motor that drives the drum is less likely to give out and no overly complicated electrical system to worry about if a massive power surge happens to fix.

[@stevesullivan9752]

Jeremy... you're a fool. Gas is the way to go as it's MUCH cheaper than electric. Also... drying time is almost cut in half compared to electric. You must be from California lol.

[@Fusiongearz]

good upload boys keep it up

Wow, you're really allowed to use such flimsy ducting for combustion gas in the US? Mental 😂

Hey

[@saulgoodman2018]

Why did he use the farthest outlet away from the window?

[@joeblack4137]

Trevor Phillips had an old house like that with 100amps service. All the outlets were in 3 20amp breakers so if I had to guess plugging into the closet one may of popped the breaker due to over load. Had to play the what you wanna run where game all the time just like she said with ac or hair dryer.

[@RoastBeefSandwich]

I was thinking it may be because it's a duplex and that other outlet may be on the other unit's meter. Either that or perhaps the closer outlet is on the same circuit as their A/C or some other high-drain appliance.

[@ivanjpulidomora3373]
