I want to hook up a gas dryer to a newly installed gas line a plumber
put in for me. The line doesn't have a shut-off valve, so I was going
to shut the gas off at the main. But the gas company says that if I
turn it off, I have to have them come out and turn the gas back on
(which could take at least a week to schedule).

It seems like it is pretty easy to turn off and back on...one twist of
the valve. Is there really any danger from me just turning it back on
myself?

Thanks!!


No none at all if your confident in your work! Mine has a valve at the meter
that can be locked closed just turn that 90 degrees and your pressure is
off. Do your work add a shut off valve check all your fittings with Snoop or
some other similar bubbling leak detector after you turn the gas back on and
if everything is good your good to go! YMMV.
