Default Ball valves vs. gas valves

Depends on the ball valve. If it is WOG rated, it is good for gas.
In SOME areas they need to have yellow handles for gas, in other areas
red is OK.. Here in Ontario any WOG rated valve is OK. Most are
certified for 600psi, which is EXTREME overkill.

Not overkill at all. Sure, for natural gas, but it can be used on
high pressure oxygen, nitrogen, argon, and on and on. That same valve
will find its way to industrial applications
