Does anyone know anything about there being a requirement for
installing vinyl or similar non porous sheeting under a gas clothes
dryer?

Never heard of any such reqt, nor can I imagine why there would be
one.
Millions of them are sitting on everything from tile to wood flooring.

Your city hall building permits office is the local authority on
safety codes.

As someone else wrote, there are probably millions of gas dryers already
sitting on top of vinyl flooring.with no problem.

You could also go online and look up the gas dryer make and mdel that you
have and download the manufacturer's installation manual. I doubt that
you'll see anything there about not installing it on top of a vinyle floor.

Actually, from the wording of the question, it sounded like she was
asking
about a requirement TO install vinyl or another non-porous material
under
it....

Thanks. I didn't catch that. I thought she was asking if there was any
code requirement when one going to install vinyl under a gas dryer. But, I
think you are correct about what she was aksing.
