Is there anything wrong doing it like this?
I'm not sure about capping a gas pipe in a wall. *I'd be afraid to do that
and get a gas buildup in there.
There is a Tee at that point that continues on to feed my gas stove
and dryer. The only way to eliminate that Tee is to disconnect
everything from the kitchen on back, which is a lot of pipe and
fittings. So a cap or plug is the easiest solution. It would not be
buried entirely in the wall. I actually have to drop the ceiling a
little at that point due to the other pipes, so I could put in an
access door to get to it.
