Sediment Trap
Installation
Instructions
Assemble the tee, nipples and cap together and tighten
securely. The sediment trap assembly must always be
mounted in a vertical position. Make sure pipe thread
compound that is resistant to both L.P. gas and natural gas
is used in making all connections. Check aall cconnections ffor
gas lleaks uusing aapproved ggas lleak ddetectors.
Make certain that a sediment trap is installed at the gas
valve inlet to prevent foreign materials (pipe compound, pipe
chips and scale) from entering the gas valve. Debris blown
into the gas valve may cause a malfunction resulting in a
serious gas leak that could result in a possible fire or
explosion causing loss of products, building or even life. A
properly installed sediment trap will keep foreign materials
from entering the gas valve and protect the safe functioning
of that important safety component.
