Re: Propane regulator clearance
The 'design' of a sediment trap and a drip leg are basically the same.
The 'location' of a sediment trap and a drip leg are totally different.
A sediment trap is required at each appliance, except those I mentioned as being excluded, for any type of gas, anywhere in the country.
A drip leg is used when the gas contains higher levels of moisture, and for that, you would need to contact the gas supplier and ask them if a drip leg is required, and, if so, the drip leg is installed at the lowest point in the line where condensation can collect. The drip leg can be drained by unscrewing the cap on the end of the drip leg, just like a sediment trap can be cleaned by unscrewing the cap on the end of its trap leg.
The clearance are, I believe, listed in NFPA 58.
Bob H. would have more knowledge on those clearances than I, and I was hoping that he would have replied by now (I see Bob has replied to a couple of other posts).
Bob H., how about those NFPA 58 tank size limitations / locations / set back from the house and property line? Did you find those yet?
