Gas supply line tap
Saw this today. Just past gas meter they added a 3/8 line with one of those valves like on a freon can. Can't be legal right? It was for a gas grill.

Re: Gas supply line tap
Dude.... those quick connects sometimes hang in the open position!! The is a no-no.
Is that a painted copper line tapped off the main service line?

Re: Gas supply line tap
Hmmmm ... I wonder if they turned the gas off when they drilled that hole in the steel pipe with a steel bit? Hmmmmm ...
Nah. Anyone smart enough to think of that would not do that anyway.

Re: Gas supply line tap
yeah, and where did those metal shavings go?
How about that illegal bushing?
Compression fitting?
Unprotected copper?
yes, illegal fitting. Not listed in the gas codes as an approved fitting. Just because it works for water doesn't make it ok for gas.
