![]() Further difficulty lies in the manner in which the exhaust hose is connected to the discharge vent (normally one or more large hose clamps), and in the tendency of the thin, flexible walls of the relatively large diameter hoses to bind out of shape. The typical dryer installation puts the hose behind the dryer, and many times the dryer must be moved in order to disconnect, inspect) clears, or replace the dryer hose. ![]() Dryer hoses are somewhat troublesome to connect sad disconrxect form a discharge as required to install, remove or service the appliance. Clothes dryers, and other appliances, o$en include a discharge hose to exhaust a discharge air stream from the appliance. 60/080,856, the spccif cation of which is incorporated herein by reference. 2971-3 DRYER HOSE CONNECTOR BACKGROUND OF TIDE INVENTION This invention relates to hoses used to vent appliances, and in particular to a connector for connecting a clothes dryer discharge hose: to as exk~aust vent hose or fixture.

If you see any bubbles, the connection is leaking and needs to be tightened. Check for leaks by brushing a soapy water solution onto the gas connections. Test the gas connection by turning the gas valve to the ON position, so the handle is parallel to the gas line. Using an adjustable wrench, tighten each connection firmly until snug. Place the other end of the flexible gas line over the gas supply line and hand tighten it. Once wrapped, attach one end of the gas line to the dryer inlet fitting and hand tighten. Wrap each fitting with yellow PTFE tape, looping around the fitting two or three times in a clockwise direction. Make sure the gas valve is in the OFF position-the valve handle will be perpendicular to the gas line. Unplug the dryer's power cord from the wall outlet. This yellow tape is manufactured especially for natural gas, propane, butane, water, oil, and chemical lines and is heavier than white plumber's tape. The threads of these two components must be wrapped in PTFE plumber's tape. The Spruce Home Improvement Review BoardĪ gas dryer has a special flexible gas line that delivers natural gas from the house gas pipe to the gas inlet fitting on the dryer.
