But what can you plug into these outlets and run off of the circuit?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, that would depend on the receptacle outlet voltage rating, and the electrical requirements of the appliances&mdash;of greatest importance are the washer and dryer because of their size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Dedicated Circuits Are Necessary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As the building and electrical codes do not control the circuit requirements for gas dryers, we can assume that it comes down to logic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three main reasons why appliances and electrical equipment require dedicated circuits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>They <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/what-electrical-outlet-for-dryer\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"11826\">pull a large amount of power<\/a>, and sharing a circuit with other appliances and equipment would overload the circuit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They are involved in important protective operations and cannot afford to have the circuit interrupted just because too many appliances were on at once. This includes sump pumps and smoke alarms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They are involved in security systems that help to keep occupants safe. This includes alarm systems.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dryer Electrical Ratings and Circuit Requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dryers are not necessary for the protection of the home or the safety of the inhabitants, so the only reason why a dedicated circuit would be required would be that the dryer pulls a large amount of electricity. Gas dryers do not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While a gas dryer uses gas to heat up the air, it uses electricity to power everything else, including the ignition of the gas. So, a gas dryer still has electrical requirements. However, these are much lower than for electric dryers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2-sets-of-white-gas-dryers.jpg\" alt=\"2 sets of white gas dryers\" class=\"wp-image-26425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2-sets-of-white-gas-dryers.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2-sets-of-white-gas-dryers-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2-sets-of-white-gas-dryers-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2-sets-of-white-gas-dryers-735x536.jpg 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2-sets-of-white-gas-dryers-335x244.jpg 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2-sets-of-white-gas-dryers-347x253.jpg 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2-sets-of-white-gas-dryers-520x379.jpg 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2-sets-of-white-gas-dryers-640x467.jpg 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2-sets-of-white-gas-dryers-960x700.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2-sets-of-white-gas-dryers.jpg.webp\" alt=\"2 sets of white gas dryers\" class=\"wp-image-26425 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2-sets-of-white-gas-dryers.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2-sets-of-white-gas-dryers-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2-sets-of-white-gas-dryers-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2-sets-of-white-gas-dryers-735x536.jpg.webp 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2-sets-of-white-gas-dryers-335x244.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2-sets-of-white-gas-dryers-347x253.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2-sets-of-white-gas-dryers-520x379.jpg.webp 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2-sets-of-white-gas-dryers-640x467.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2-sets-of-white-gas-dryers-960x700.jpg.webp 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2-sets-of-white-gas-dryers.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-3\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Gas dryers have an average amperage draw of four amps and a 110 V rating.

They should be able to tell you definitively if <em>your<\/em> dryer needs its own circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What you need to be aware of is that even though gas dryers might not need to be on a dedicated circuit according to the code or logic, some manufacturers will specify this requirement in their installation instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While not strictly necessary for safety and effective function, going against the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions can have negative consequences if you ever have to take advantage of the warranty. It can also affect your insurance in some cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the IRC is legally-binding, it often cedes the final say to the manufacturer. So, if your gas dryer causes a fire and the ignition can be traced to an electrical issue, then your insurance company might question why you did not follow the installation instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/easy-way-determine-outlet-dedicated-circuit\/\">Easy Way to Determine if an Outlet Is on a Dedicated Circuit<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruce.com\/wiring-typical-laundry-circuits-1152242\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.thespruce.com\/wiring-typical-laundry-circuits-1152242<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/homex.com\/ask?question=how-many-amps-is-a-gas-dryer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/homex.com\/ask?question=how-many-amps-is-a-gas-dryer<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whirlpool.com\/content\/dam\/global\/documents\/202202\/owners-manual-w11364660-revB.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.whirlpool.com\/content\/dam\/global\/documents\/202202\/owners-manual-w11364660-revB.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conserve-energy-future.com\/how-many-amps-does-dryer-use.php#:~:text=A%20gas%20dryer%20uses%204,circuit%20with%20the%20washing%20machine.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.conserve-energy-future.com\/how-many-amps-does-dryer-use.php#:~:text=A%20gas%20dryer%20uses%204,circuit%20with%20the%20washing%20machine.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/forums.mikeholt.com\/threads\/inspector-want-separate-line-for-gas-dryer.146470\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/forums.mikeholt.com\/threads\/inspector-want-separate-line-for-gas-dryer.146470\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrappliance.com\/blog\/2020\/june\/what-appliances-need-a-dedicated-circuit-for-saf\/#:~:text=Your%20laundry%20room%20should%20have,amp%2C%20220%2Dvolt%20circuit.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.mrappliance.com\/blog\/2020\/june\/what-appliances-need-a-dedicated-circuit-for-saf\/#:~:text=Your%20laundry%20room%20should%20have,amp%2C%20220%2Dvolt%20circuit.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.electriciantalk.com\/threads\/oesc-gas-dryer-in-laundry-room-seperate-circuit-requirement.281148\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.electriciantalk.com\/threads\/oesc-gas-dryer-in-laundry-room-seperate-circuit-requirement.281148\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Of all the domestic appliances that are found in a home, a dryer is known to have one of the greatest electrical requirements.
