WARNING
Contaminants in the gas lines may cause improper opera-
tion of the gas control valve that may result in fire or explo-
sion. Before attaching the gas line be sure that all gas pipe is
clean on the inside. To trap any dirt or foreign material in
the gas supply line, a drip leg (sometimes called a sediment
trap) must be incorporated in the piping. The drip leg must
be readily accessible. Install in accordance with the “Gas
Piping” section. Refer to the current edition of the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, also referred to as NFPA 54.
