Shortening gas fitting out of dryer
See attached image.
With the gas hose attached to the dryer (and bent upward), the total clearance is 3.5-4 inches. I'd like to get the dryer closer to the wall. Dryer is a new Samsung DV42H5000GW.
Two questions:
1. I didn't personally install the dryer. Is there an extra fittings /adapters on there that don't need to be there?
2. How else can I shorten this? Is there an elbow fitting I could pick up at the hardware store? If so, what would I ask for?
Thanks

Hard to tell but it does look like there is some union/reducer there. It sure looks like a 90 flared fitting would save a lot of room.

That flare to 1/2 " can be removed. They used the inside threads on that, and the outside looks 3/4...
If you remove the flex and that flarex 1/2" fitting you'll be left with factory nipple sticking out..
Simple put an elbow on it, then a nipple 1/2" to reuse that fitting, then reconnect flex line...
