Gas dryer connection (BLOCKED: refer to a licensed gas installer)

Connecting, disconnecting or leak-testing a gas line is licensed gas work in most US jurisdictions. A handyman may prepare the space, the 120 V outlet and the vent, then the gas connection and leak test go to a licensed gas installer or plumber.
