        Are drip legs required/recommended at each appliance when using csst? Thanks

          Here we do not fit “drip” takeoffs except at the meter outlet point but we do slope the pipework to allow fluids to accumulate at the drip point for easy removal.

              Thanks, Peter. This will be a retrofitted low pressure propane system sized large enough to serve a range, barbecue, gas log and possible future conversion from heat pump to gas furnace. The CSST will be hung from and attached to the bottoms of the floor joists in the unfinished basement with the apppliances all located on the floor above except for the furnace. In that situation would you still try to slope toward the point where it exits to the exterior/regulator? Thanks. GTM

                Yea I reckon I sure would try and slope the pipework back some but if that cannot be achieved easily and neatly I would fit a dropper pipe with a plugged off valve at the lowest point of the pipework run so it could be drained if nessessary.
                Cheers

                  Check with your manufacturer specs.Usually they will specify using drip legs at the appliances..Really whats an extra tee and cap as opposed to a 90??? I usually always use drip legs..
