I am changing the natural gas piping in a resturant. There is a an existing 2 inch ball valve that shuts off the gas supply to the cooking appliances. The handle stop is broken off and will not stop the handle in the "off" postion. I want to replace the broken valve with a nipple. The inspector tells me I need to install a new valve, as the gas code requires a building shut off. My position is the meter has a shut off valve that shuts off building gas supply. Neither of us can find anything in the 2010 Oregon Mechanical Specialty Code that specifically allows or disallows my position or the inspectors position.
I am installing new gas shut offs to each individual appliance and new 48 inch flexx hoses. There was a mechanical gas shut off when I installed the fire suppression system about 15 years ago. I assume it is still in place and works. I have not serviced hte suppression system for several years, I was too expensive. So an unlicensed hack did the service, or at least hung a tag
