I had no idea this existed, thanks!

Great job, thank you ❤

The gas valve tang is weak, brass or bronze. You sometimes cannot just try to turn it, if it has been in place for years and is oxidized (stuck in place). If you turn hard you'll break it. There's sometimes a nut on the backside of the valve, that draws the cone-shaped valve tightly into its seat. Spray wd-40 on the valve. Let it soak a bit. Loosen the nut maybe half a turn. Take a pice of brass or aluminum (don't want to make sparks) and carefully hit the male threads of the valve plug. You're trying to loosen up that cone-shaped plug. If you see it move slightly out of its seat, you've successfully broken it free of the oxidation. Now you can turn it without breaking the tang. When you've turned it to the position you want (open or closed), now you can tighten the nut on the back side. Test for leak with soapy water. If leaking, turn the valve back and forth to seat the valve better. If you can't get it to stop leaking the gas company needs to replace it.

Great video, should be mandatory viewing in schools.

Close Caption skipped 3:05- Emergency shut off information 🤔🤔🤔

So in san antonio texas , CPS is my gas company . Are they responsible for lines underground and the meter? Or how does it work? if anyone knows please enlighten with some good information

Great vid. I need to replace a valve feeding my dryer and this is exactly what I needed before starting.

KEY WORD..."IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY "

I think this is really good information. People need to be aware of what to do and not everybody’s prepared for an emergency, and will be dumbfounded by a big earthquake, which is totally possible. It could save lives, so I thank you for this video.

Thank you.

So, is this guy color blind? He called the green screw "white"

i dont know if this would ever be taught as common sense action to teach every homeowner in case of emergency

I would like to know why my gas meter inside my basement? Can I make a gas meter outside can someone come and put one outside so that the gas guy doesn't come inside my house.

Telling people that aren't gas professionals to turn their own gas on is INSANELY irresponsible. If you are not familiar with what you are doing you should not operate a closed gas valve. This video should be taken down or edited.

Youre a good trainer

How do I re light a central heater pilot?

This worked for me thanks for the video 👍🏻

Thanks my friend!👍🏾

Thanks for this. I need to replace my furnace and water heater and want to shut the gas off to do it so this was very helpful.

Thank you I had to turn the gas off tonight because something didn’t smell right

I want to install a gas stove and I need to shut the gas off, do I have to reset it, what is gonna happen if I didn't reset it

Thank you!!! You saved me $90, it only cost me 5 seconds and a flat head screwdriver!!

Don’t have any pilot lights thank goodness

Thank you ,you save my life

who else farts on their hand and smells

I hit a yellow pipe at the back of house doing a deck, it just got scratched, what should I do? I already put concrete on it.

Thanks for the tips!

Thank you very much for the helpful video 👍😊

I'm curious, can anyone enlighten me to what that is on the first setup, upper-right? It is some sort of cross, but has a square front cover and what appears to be bolt head near the center? [in MN, never seen one like this]

Just FYI you do not own that quarter turn valve that you are operating down towards the ground. Your gas utility owns and operates everything up to and including your meter. You should shutoff your supplies using the isolation valves provided DOWNstream of the meter. You can see you have two of them, one for each branch, at 0:53

Good video. Thank you.

If you have newer appliances they have safety devices that would shut the if there are any off on older lines there may be a small valve attached to the appliance shut offs upstream side to control the pilot.

in my area, anything before the meter including valves, regulators, and meters ect. are owned by the gas company. any alteration of these and you may be held liable. although, in an extreme emergency they may wave issues with turning the gas OFF, BUT NOT BACK ON AGAIN. doing it wrong may damage the regulator, causing another emergency.

I can’t believe you have a special tool like that to turn off and on the meter...I used to use channel locks...about 35-40 years ago I was working on a prototype just like that but didn’t follow through.

Ima shut off everyone gas lol

So informative. Thank you!!

That gas meter need to be protect with a bollard , if you live in So Cal be aware the gas company is and will be installing this Bollards .

Why not do the real demo when closing and opening are only few seconds apart?

How’s that a white screw? Come on now

Thank you. You saved my day.

Whats so hard about just doing it for us man

Thanks man. Saved me a lot. God blesssssssssssss

Do any of the inline gas shut off valves only flow in one direction?

How do I know if I don’t need a pressure test after shutting off my gas?

Does this stop the gas metering reading as well

Thank you !

THANK YOU YOUR EXPLAINATION IS EASY TO UNDERSSTAND, YOU ARE A LIFE Saver

Turning on main gas valve on high pressure should be done slowly not to blow the pressure regulator

Thank You got it going save me alot of money..
