Wow Peter, is your sister planning on drying in her new Hamilton Dryer?

 

[peterh770]

LOL!!! I kinda doubt it! She sent me a very loving email this morning, saying "Merry &^%$# Christmas, you @*&#^! Now, what the *&^%$ do I do with it."

She got it for $20. The last dryer I got this inexpensively was lost in a hurricane. I better get this one shipped to me quick!

If someone can look up the weight and measurements of this dryer for me and post them here, I would greatly appreaciate it.

AS Jacke Benny would say

"I mean really...how many Haritatos washer collectors can there be in the world today? Really!"

YAY! Congratulations Peter on the Hamilton! I know you'll be able to restore this beauty and get it away from "fire-hazard status"! Happy vintage drying!

Oooooh, congrats on the dryer!!

This dryer is 8 feet wide, 6 feet tall, 5 feet deep and weighs 8794 pounds! Craters and Freighters will certainly have a merry christmas..

Great dryer Peter, so glad to see you got it. I have an owners manual for one of these in case you need it......Christmas came early for you this year!

I personally CAN'T WAIT to see this thing up close.

You DO have gas service don't ya? LOL

 

[peterh770]

Yes, I do have gas service, but not to the laundry room. I was going to have a line or two installed when I had my house replumbed 2 years ago, but my plumber skipped town when the police got after him, and I haven't gotten around to it since...

 

[toggleswitch]

All kidding aside, have you not considered doing it yourself?

(We are a manly lot, are we not?)

Since I usually detect leaks better than anyone, I tend to do great leak-free work, .....and to code.

I actually had to connect my own gas dryer in my early 20's and survived. Progressed from there. Have thread sealant, will travel. (BTW, there is now teflon tape for this!!!)

 

[fixerman]

Actually I don't think teflon tape is recommended for gas pipes. Use the paste type redommended for gas hookup. If using copper with flare fittings do not seal the threads on the flare nut. the seal is made by the flare tightened against the fitting.
