ARNING
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to threads. This will prevent
excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe
could result in clogged burner system valves.We recom-
mend that you install a sediment trap/drip leg in supply
line as shown in
Figure 12
. Locate sediment trap/drip leg
where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system
between fuel supply and burner system. Locate sediment
trap/drip leg where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A
sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps
them from going into the burner system gas controls. If
sediment trap/drip leg is not installed or is installed wrong,
burner system may not run properly.
