So they don't mind you installing in a little bypass run from the street pipe
So they don't send out a physical worker to test for leaks after the fact?
"Looks good. Signed off."
Who assumes complete liability when the house explodes?
In the rental I have outlet NG/CO alarms. They did not trip. A local city inspector's machine found a micro leak. Fixed. For the first time I was glad to be under external oversight.

Upstream of the meter the pressure is 60-80 psi so tapping into that is a little more challenging than the 1/4 psi after the meter.
I showed the inspector with my phone the pressure gauge I had on the system and I pressurized it to 15 psi after I finished the last leg to the furnace Monday. It was still holding 15 psi yesterday.
I found the inspection to be a joke but I was happy to pass and get approval and one step closer to getting gas again. I have the utility scheduled to turn service on Monday morning.
