Default Gas cock/ballvalve outside?

the coughed up some electrons that declared:

So while you are in the house cooking something someone comes along
,turns the gas off...cooker extinguishes itself ...someone then turns
gas back on again ....kitchen fills with gas . A bit unlikely I admit
but still...


They could do that at the meter. I think you've justified an enclosure
though, to dissuade fiddling fingers... Or lockable cocks, which I noticed
the other day.

Why don't you put the cocks inside the house ...there must be
somewhere you can fit them in.


Boiler yes, but the cooker supply will come straight in the wall into a hose
bayonet. Part of the attraction is being able to isolate an entire section
of pipe too, in the (unlikely) event of damage.

Cheers
