A sediment trap is required on all gas equipment. Is this true or false?

A sediment trap is not required on all gas equipment, making the statement false. Sediment traps are specifically used to collect debris and condensate from natural gas systems to prevent these substances from entering the appliance and potentially causing damage or inefficient operation.

While certain appliances, particularly those that are more prone to sediment accumulation like water heaters or gas appliances with venting systems, may need sediment traps, they are not universally mandated for every type of gas equipment. Therefore, the implementation of sediment traps is contingent upon the design and requirements specified for particular appliances rather than being a blanket requirement across all gas systems.

This distinction is important for ensuring that the safety and efficiency of gas appliances are maintained without imposing unnecessary regulations on all gas equipment.
