Does anyone have a photo of a proper sediment trap. I have some diagrams, and plenty of photos of wrong set ups, but I can’t find a **photo** of a good one. Its for my website. Thanks! ---

Unless there is a shut off valve above the T in Roy’s photo, besides the main shut off for the home, I would call that out as not proper. You should not have to turn gas off to the whole home to service an appliance. The dirt / drip should be after the gas shut off valve for the appliance(s) being served. JMHO. I have one but just moved all my inspection photos to the desktop. Should have one later this evening. ---

As far as I know, it’s good. ---
