I ran a line into the middle of a larger diameter pipe, I pulled water off of the top of the large pipe and installed a valve at the bottom of the larger diameter pipe. The sediment would come into the larger pipe and not be able to make the climb to the top of the large diameter pipe and would settle to the bottom. I was using much smaller pipe than you so likely you don't need my solution but I wanted to offer it anyway. If someone does try this you need to be careful about getting an airlock at the top of the large pipe so you need to provide a way to bleed that air off.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14145967744319836316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-63790969847745117112010-12-29T08:33:20.493-06:002010-12-29T08:33:20.493-06:00I had the same type of problem.

I stuck a tee in where the valve is now and ran a short piece with a drain valve straight down with the shut off out to the side a couple of inches.
