Are sediment traps required on gas grills or decorative lighting?

Sediment traps, also known as sediment separators or dirt pockets, are devices designed to collect and hold any sediments or debris from the gas supply line to prevent them from entering the appliance, such as a boiler or furnace. Regarding gas grills and decorative lighting, the requirement for sediment traps generally depends on the specific installation guidelines and codes applicable to gas appliances.

In the case of gas grills and decorative lighting, these appliances often do not require sediment traps because they are typically not subject to the same codes and regulations as larger, more permanent gas appliances. Additionally, the gas supply lines for grills and outdoor lighting are usually shorter and more directly connected than those for indoor appliances, reducing the likelihood of sediment accumulation and the need for such a trap. Therefore, in most instances, it is accurate to say that sediment traps are not required for gas grills or decorative lighting.
