line upstream of the gas control to aid in servicing. It is required
by the National Fuel Gas Code that a drip leg be installed near
the gas inlet. See Figure 13. This should consist of a vertical
length of pipe tee connected into the gas line that is capped
on the bottom in which condensation and foreign particles may
collect.
