Can you use the same vent for a Bath fan and gas dryer?

Yes, you can hook two dryers up to the same dryer vent. You just have to get the right kind of hoses/ventilation so that both dryers feed into the same system with a split connection.


How do you change from LP dryer to gas dryer?

for USA, Canada and other countries running a 60 Hz supply service.For installation of any gas-powered appliances you should always call an experienced gas technician who holds a license to do the work.Improper installation can result in gas leakage, fire, explosion, serious injury and death.Always follow the recommendations of the dryer manufacturer.It's a good idea when working indoors with any gas appliance to set a fan in the work area. This hastens ventilation in case of a minor error. Once the gas lines are connected, the gas restored and the fan switched off, a gas smell usually indicates a very recent problem, ie, you have a leak.There are three separate connections to be made on a gas dryer.1. The gas connection. Always use a NEW flex line hose, available at home improvement stores or wherever dryers are sold. Wrap the male threads with Teflon tape to insure a tight seal. Gently and snugly tighten the two ends of the flex line to the gas stub out in the wall and the dryer.2. Spray soapy water onto the gas flex line connections to check for gas leaks. The appearance of growing bubbles indicates a leak. Repeat step one if necessary.3. The exhaust duct. Secure the large foil hose to the duct in the wall with a large screw ring and do the same with the other end to the dryer. Take care not to puncture the foil hose or heat and dryer dust will vent inside the room.4. Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet.5. Turn the dryer on to a heat setting and check for adequate heat in the clothes compartment.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.


Can you use a glue on the fittings of a gas dryer?

No, proper pipe dope that is approved for gas installations must be used on all threaded fittings. Using substitutes will not guarantee that a tight fit will be made which can lead to gas leaking into the house.

Are gas dryers more efficient than electric?

Technically, yes. However, if you're trying to figure out if it will be cost-effective to switch from one energy source to another, the answer is no. A gas dryer will generally cost $50-70 more than an electric dryer. If your home does not already have gas, that will require the gas company to pipe gas into your home, as well as having fittings installed to set up your dryer. Likewise, switching from gas to electric would mean a dryer that costs less but requires a 220v outlet, which requires a dedicated circuit. This means around $400 of work by an electrician. So, the simplest answer is, whatever energy source you already have for a dryer is the energy source you should use.

How do you convert from electric clothes dryer to gas clothes dryer?

The only practical way to do that would be to sell the electric clothes dryer and use the proceeds toward purchase of a gas dryer. Even if it was possible to convert the dryer the cost would be prohibitive versus a new dryer. If you mean converting the building, then you would need to have natural gas plumbing installed, and you would need an outlet that matches the voltage of the new dryer.

Why does your electric clothes dryer smell like a gas dryer when you use it?

This may be related to the oils used on some parts of the inner mechanisms of the dryer. When heated, the oils could smell slightly similar to the smell of a gas dryer. Or, your dryer could be pulling in odors (car exhaust fumes, outdoor cooking grills, etc.) from outside through the venting system.
