An in-line, non-condensible gas trap for a liquid line which includes an interior mesh tube through which fluid can flow to a trap outlet. Non- condensible gas is trapped outwardly of the mesh tube due to capillary action and periodically the collected gas is vented thereby ridding the liquid line of the non-condensible gas. The present trap operates well in outer space environments (zero gravity) as well as normal ambient conditions (1 g).
