Thank you gentlemen for your replies.
The question that was asked was - If you were going to add a tee into an existing gas pipe for a cooker connection, what precautions and checks would
you make at the meter.
I think to play safe i am going to go with -
Remove meter and cap/plug 3 ends...
If a gas meter has to be removed because of adding a tee downstream in the gas pipe.
Should just the meter be removed and the resulting open ends of the gas pipes be plugged with
1 inch male plugs, or should the nut at the top of the emergency control valve be removed also and blanked off...
