If you compare based on its functionality and convenience, a gas dryer is a good alternative to an electric dryer. You can easily install it.
Before starting the installation process, it is important that you have an interest in it. If you are not a technical person, then for every small issue you call a service person. For example, to troubleshoot a washing machine, you call washing machine repairs Adelaide.
However, there is a word of caution that gas leak is very dangerous. So do not attempt the installation if you do not have prior experience with these types of projects.

First, turn off all gas and electricity outlets

You need to ensure that the vent hole on the gas dryer matches the vent hole in your home. If it does not match, then you will have to cut a separate vent hole first.
Clean Up
You need to wash and dry the floor where the gas dryer is to be installed. Clean all the surroundings also. As mentioned earlier, if you are a non-technical person who prefers to call washing machine repairs even if it is a minor issue, then do not attempt gas dryer installation.
Put Pipe Dope On
The next thing is to put the pipe dope on the thread. You can use the SS connector to screw the pipe.
