I am dealing with a water heater installation I hired out 18 years ago.
The tank was installed so that the relief valve is obstructed by the wall and can not be removed.
Now the T&P valve is leaking and I have to do some exercise to get at it.
The tank has to be turned 3".
This requires the water lines to be disconnected and reconfigured for the turned tank
- I'm looking to use flexible copper lines for the hot and cold water connections.
The gas supply has to be disassembled and reconfigured.
Between the ICC and the broad world of installation images I would like some input on my I plan to reconfigure the gas line with CSST.
Reading the gas code the valve needs to be before the CSST and sediment trap.
See photo of existing.
I'm thinking to remove the shut-off from the location in the picture and connect one end of the CSST there.
Then reinstall the shut-off at the T from the gas line and the other end of the CSST to it.
1)
What I am unsure of is if the sediment trap needs to be immediately after the valve or if it is appropriate to leave it where it is right in front of the water heater thermostat.
2)
I see on the BrassCraft site their CSST is for internal pressure up to 1/2 psi. If I read correctly the pressure from the gas company is 2 PSIG. What is the distinction between 1/2 psi and 2 PSIG?
Thank you
