You should install a four prong. The older ones were three prong and had no ground. An adaptor isn't made because it wouldn't fix the problem. You could make your own adaptor and cut the ground off with a pair of dykes, but don't.

Yes. The adapter is a new power cord. Your new home has a modern plug which is safer, and you can easily upgrade your appliance in under a half hour and under $30 in parts. Get a new cord and follow your dryer's instructions.

Is there a difference between a valve thread for an adapter and a valve outlet?

Yes, there is a huge difference. If you use a valve thread for an adapter instead of valve outlet, you'll be in a world of hurt. That's because the adapters have the correct threads! If you use the outlet, you might cross-thread and you don't want to do that. If you turn around twice hopping on one foot and clap your hands twice, it should be ok. But that's only if you spit on the valve outlet before you thread in the new valve adapter.The preceding is a JOKE. Please post intelligently to get intelligent replies.I don't know if you're talking about a CAR or a WASHING MACHINE or a SPACE SHUTTLE.Answer 2Actually, a valve adapter should connect directly to a valve thread, that is what the adapter is for. Usually, the valve outlet connects directly, but if you don't have a plug you need the adapter to connect two outlets together. Of course, you really should just use the assembly properly with the plug end connecting to the outlet.
