What is the maximum length of a flexible gas appliance connector to a dryer or range?

  1. 4 feet

  2. 6 feet

  3. 8 feet

  4. 10 feet

The correct answer is: 6 feet

The maximum length of a flexible gas appliance connector to a dryer or range is 6 feet. This limitation is established to promote safety and ensure that the gas appliances operate efficiently without risk of damage or leaks. A flexible gas appliance connector that is too long could create several issues, including increased potential for kinks, twists, or bends, which can hinder gas flow and potentially lead to leaks. Too much length can also make appliances less stable and harder to turn off in emergencies. Therefore, adhering to the 6-foot maximum helps ensure proper installation and optimal operation while minimizing any risks associated with gas lines.
