What should the minimun distance a 1/2 inch gas line in the wall should be to a 4" dryer vent as it passes through the wall?

I did not know there was one, so I keenly wait for the answer. My half inch gas pipe sits no more than 12 inches from my metal dryer hose.

what type of gas line, what type of vent pipe. I am assuming the exhaust, lint filled vent pipe for an electric dryer.

The dryer is electric. The gas line is supply for a gas dryer if so desired. The vent I was referring to is the exhaust vent and is sheet metal construction.

Call your local code department to make sure they don't have an ordinance that addresses that.
