We recommend that you install a sediment trap in
supply line as shown in Figure 22. Locate sediment
trap where it is within reach for cleaning. Install
in piping system between fuel supply and heater.
Locate sediment trap where trapped matter is not
likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and
contaminants. This keeps them from going into
fi replace controls. If sediment trap is not installed
or is installed wrong, fi replace may not run properly.
