 o
Sediment trap for natural gas line

Posted by doc8404 (My Page) on

I just noticed on my natural gas range supply piping that there is no sediment trap.

The existing setup is: In a crawl space, 60 foot of CSST from a iron pipe manifold connected on the other end to a black pipe 90 degree elbow. Then a riser thru the flooring to the shut off valve for the range.

Normally, I would have thought there should be a sediment trap at the point where the 90 is currently in place.

Is this pipe run compliant with code?

Thanks!

CSST should not rust internally, making the trap far less important.
