Default Gas cock/ballvalve outside?

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.


Yeah .You are right about the meter ..never thought about that ....and
of course keys to open the meter box are simple enough to get hold of
and ,of course,anything which stops or delays access to turning off
the gas supply in an emergency isn't a good thing either ( like the
lever being padlocked or lockable ) .Dunno what the answer to that is
