Step 1
Locate a suitable natural gas line section where the drip tank can be installed. This would ideally be a section that has unions, flanges or other fittings that can be taken apart. Disconnect the gas flow or ensure the section of pipe is completely isolated from the natural gas flow.
Step 2
Disconnect the pipe section using the wrench. Prepare all pipe fitting threads by wrapping them with the thread tape. Wrap in a clockwise direction and ensure the tape is tight on the threads. This will eliminate any leakage.
Step 3
Connect the inlet of the drip tank with the leading edge of the disconnected pipe. The gas flow should enter into the drip tank through this connection.
Step 4
Connect the outlet of the drip tank with the trailing edge of the disconnected pipe. Secure both connections tightly with the wrench. Ensure the drain valve on the drip tank is closed. Reconnect the gas into the pipeline. The gas should enter the drip tank from the top and exit back through the top. Any entrained water should be caught in the bottom of the tank and periodically drained.
