Gas line sediment trap ?
Jim, Rich, Rick, Barry,
Did a quick walk-through FHA Final inspection this morning on a property in Little Elm and noted a sediment trap on the furnace & W/H gas lines.
Do y'all know if there is a Little Elm requirement for them?
I'm curious as having inspected in Houston for years they are required down there and not similar up here in the DFW market.

Little Elm is trying to catch up with Highland Park I believe.
Used to be nothing out there in LE but a bunch of crappy trailers.
I know that sediment traps are recommended, but I've yet to ever see one.

You do realize that trap is installed wrong, don't you. Might as well left it off.

Re: Gas line sediment trap ?
I don't have anything on Little Elm. I write them up no matter what the local AHJ says, since it is in the code and all man. instructions. I do have a little blurb about local practice not using them, but all national standards and manufacturer's instructions call for installation...
G2419.4 Sediment trap. Where a sediment trap is not incorporated as part of the gas utilization equipment, a sediment trap shall be installed downstream of the equipment shutoff valve as close to the inlet of the equipment as practical.
