Hi all
I really want to pull down a small section of non bearing wall in my house to open up the kitchen. On one side of the wall is capped off gas stub, it protrudes about 2" including cap.
There's one in every room of the house, i'm guessing for old heaters that have been replaced.
It's a 1955 home on a slab, I haven't opened up the wall yet but i'm pretty sure the pipe comes up through the slab and then elbows out through the wall.
How can I, if at all, cap off the pipe below or flush to the slab?
Also in regard to the other stubs about the house, were they capped outside the walls because it was quick and easy or do they stick out because of a code requirement?
