SECTION IV
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Installation should be performed by competent technicians in accordance with local and state codes. In the
absence of these codes, the installation must conform to applicable American National Standards: ANSI Z223.1-
LATEST EDITION (National Fuel Gas Code) or ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST EDITION (National Electrical
Code) or in Canada, the installation must conform to applicable Canadian Standards: CAN/CGA-B149.1-M91
(Natural Gas) or CAN/CGA-B149.2-M91 (Liquid Propane [L.P.] Gas) or LATEST EDITION (for General
Installation and Gas Plumbing) or Canadian Electrical Codes Parts 1 & 2 CSA C22.1-1990 or LATEST EDITION
(for Electrical Connections).
A. ENCLOSURE/AIR SUPPLY/EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS
NOTE: The following information is very brief and general. For detailed description, refer to the
AD-200 Phase 7 Non-Tilting Installation/Operator’s Manual (ADC Part No. 112142)
included with the dryer.
Bulkheads and partitions around the dryer should be made of noncombustible materials. Allowances should be
made for the opening and closing of the control door and lint door. Also, allowances should be made in the rear
for ease of maintenance. (Refer to the AD-200 Phase 7 Non-Tilting Installation/Operator’s Manual [ADC Part
No. 112142] for recommended distances and minimum allowances required.)
When the dryer is operating, it draws in room air, heats it, passes this air through the basket (tumbler), and
exhausts it out of the building. Therefore, the room air must be continually replenished from the outdoors. If the
make-up air is inadequate, drying time and drying efficiency will be adversely affected. Ignition problems and sail
switch “fluttering” problems on gas dryers may result, and you could have premature motor failure from overheating.
The air supply must be given careful consideration to insure proper performance of each dryer.
IMPORTANT: Make-up air must be provided from a source free of dry cleaning fumes. Make-up
air that is contaminated by dry cleaning fumes will result in irreparable damage to
motors and other dryer components.
Exhaust ductwork should be designed and installed by a competent technician. Improperly sized ductwork will
create excessive back pressure which will result in slow drying, increased use of energy, and shutdown of the
burner by the airflow (sail) switch, burner hi-limit or lint chamber hi-heat protector thermostat. (Refer to the
AD-200 Phase 7 Non-Tilting Installation/Operator’s Manual [ADC Part No. 112142] for more details.)
CAUTION: IMPROPERLY SIZED OR INSTALLED EXHAUST DUCTWORK CAN
CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.
