Default Gas Line Installation- Air pressure test question

do i need to connect all the appliances and shut off the valve to do
the PSI test? or without the appliances connected?


All appliances and the meter itself should be disconnected for a
pressure test. High pressure will damage an appliance or the meter.
Just having an isolation valve in the off position is not considered
sufficient separation, because of the possibility of the valve the
leaking--they need to be phyiscally disconnected.

Also, I have put the pressure gas at the meter side. would it be ok OR
i need to do it from appliance end?


Once everything is disconnected, it doesn't matter.
