Hi all new to the group. I have a question about turing a natural gas dryer to propane gas. The dryer model is an LG. The instruction manual does not show how to get to the existing gas orifice. Can any one help.

Thanks.

Whatever type of pipe is presently being used in the house can be used to run to the dryer location. The pipe diameter for natural gas is usually half inch. Use half inch not more than six feet back from the dryer. All the rest back from that point to the supply pipe would be ¾-inch, which may or may not apply for propane. Codes vary from state to state and local area to area. It's best to check with a professional plumber in the area or the building department in your locality. A propane supplier may also know.

Building materials and local privately owned hardware stores would also have the materials needed. Pipe comes in many size lengths and is already pre-threaded. You'll also need supports to secure pipe to walls, beams or studs, whichever is the case. You will also need a shut off valve at the end of the run and dryer connection fittings and parts.

The orifices (what you need to change) are in the gas valve itself. Try to find manufactures web site for instructions. I understand that it is very simple, but I have never done it.
