Probably can do it yourself. I assume by the conduit you mean a pipe
leading to the drier area with a valve on the end ready to go. Most likly
all you need to purchase is a flexible gas line from the hardware store and
connect it acording to the instructions. Use soapy water on the new
connections to check for leaks. Any doubt, the utility might come and check
for leaks for you (but probably won't connect it up) as a safety checkup.
You should smell a leak before it gets explosive if you pay attention. if
so, turn it off, ventalate the area and call a pro if you cannot stop it.

If you have an open pilot on the gas water heater and it is nearby, you
might want to temporarily shut it off to remove a possible ignition source
in the area in case you burp some gas from the line.

I just moved from a town that had no city gas to a town that has city
natural gas. I have the service in my new home for a pool heater and hot
tub heater. I want to buy a gas dryer and install it myself.

The install seems pretty straight forward. Someone installed a conduit
that goes from the dryer area to the gas meter area. Can I do this
myself? I have experience doing electric work - and copper and plastic
plumbing work. I have also installed propane appliance in my old home
and my camper.

Has anyone here installed their own gas dryer in a home with gas service
- but no service to the dryer?
