Before
ordering a gas shut-off valve, you must measure the gas
line that enters your home. This template has been designed
to assist you. To use the template, follow the instructions
below:
1. Download
the template PDF file for printing. The
template will look like the illustration below.
2. Cut the template out and tape the
end marked "A" to your gas line.
3. Wrap the strip of paper around the gas line. Mark the
exact point where the strip overlaps the end marked "A" with
a pen or pencil.
4. Remove the template from your gas line and measure the
distance from the edge of the template marked "A" to the
mark you have made.
5. This measurement will be within 1/16" of one of the
figures noted on the template, or in the chart below in
the column Pipe
Circumference. The corresponding number in the column Pipe
Size is your gas line pipe size. Refer to this measurement when
ordering a gas shut-off valve.
