    I have a good friend who is a certified gas tech - he did the actual   
   connection to the meter and inspected/passed all my pipe work. John   
   has met Ed. Nice guy.   
      
    When I put the 1/2 inch line in initially I did it myself and called   
   the gas co for the inspection. Passed with flying colours!!!
