ABSTRACT:
A gas service line field completion kit for providing a service line connection through a gas meter between a gas distribution main and a gas service inlet pipe fitting spaced a predetermined distance from the main. The kit is characterized by forming an integral gas meter mounting assembly including a pressure regulator mounted thereon, forming an integral riser assembly including a shut-off valve mounted thereto and having an excess coiled length of plastic gas distribution tubing projecting therefrom, packaging the riser assembly and mounting assembly to form the kit, and storing the kit for subsequent shipment. The gas service line completion kit may be rapidly installed in the field by unpackaging the kit at the installation site, coupling the outlet end of the mounting assembly to the gas service inlet pipe, coupling the outlet end of the shut-off valve to the inlet end of the mounting assembly, and uncoiling and coupling the excess length of plastic tubing to the gas distribution main. A gas meter can be subsequently coupled to the gas meter mounting assembly to facilitate gas service.
