    Just for information sake, any alteration to your gas supply system
    would require a plumbing/building permit.  It would be issued by the
    city/county/state agency having jurisdition in your area.  Todd is
    correct in that it isn't technically difficult.  But rudimentary
    knowledge would be advised.  The stickler here is how your local
    agency interprets the codes. Some locales require pressure testing
    the entire system when any portion is altered, and holding that 15
    psi for 24 hours, others don't.  My experience recommends caution
    involving a fire marshal inspection for a hobby business shop.  Due
    to the wide variation in code enforcement training, your struggle to
    get an uninformed "official" decision vacated can be enormous.
