The best thing do with that is not to do it yourself. Call the gas company and they will come out and hook up the gas line for you for no charge.

Does a gas dryer have to have its own dedicated gas line?
it does not have to have a separate line from the utility...but it typically has a line running from the already existing line within the home... like remove an elbow from the furnace line and install a tee, then a shutoff valve, then the line to the dryer. After the line arrives in the viscinity of the dryer, it should have another shutoff valve prior to connection to the dryer. Local codes may require additional fittings ot shutoffs... we love our gas dryer... wouldn't have an electric model...

You close and cap the gas line, and disconnect the vent hose and electrical supply. Depending on the utility and/or code requirements in your area, you may be required to have a licensed plumber or utility mechanic do the actual capping of the gas line.

A blocked or clogged dryer vent.
