A sediment trap which is sometimes called a drip leg (although technically different) is a capped off section of gas line which is installed in such a way that any debris or moisture in the gas line will be caught in the trap where it can be cleaned out easily.Click to see full answer. Moreover, why do you need a drip leg on a gas line?Sediment traps collect dirt, rust, and other debris in the gas line before it gets to the control valve of an appliance. Drips legs are used to collect water droplets. They are located in low areas of a gas line. Drip legs are only needed if the gas is wet.Similarly, what is drip leg in piping? Drip Legs are vertical piping pockets located along the steam main pipe where condensate is collected for the purpose of draining from the system. ANSI/FCI Standard 13-1: Determining Condensate Loads to Size Steam Traps refers to a Drip Leg as a Drip Point. Also Know, what does a gas drip leg do? Drip legs (technically call just a “drip”) are installed to collect condensation in a gas piping system, so they are installed in a low point to prevent condensation from running back into the gas meter.How long should a gas drip leg be?Must be made of a tee fitting with a capped nipple, a minimum of 3 inches in length, in the bottom opening of the run of the tee. Provide a 90-degree change of direction of gas flow, to help prevent sediment from flowing over the trap.
