No need for caps, we can read small print! Depending where you live, you may not be allowed to do this on your own, only by licensed plumber or heating tech. Please do not attempt this if you are not experienced with gas lines, the risk is far too great and explosion danger severe. Basically, you need to find the gas line, put in a T fitting, run a gas pipe to the dryer, IP/Flare valve and then add a separate flex line to the dryer. Only flare fittings are allowed, not compression. Pipe wrenches, pipe dope, pressure testing etc.
