I have an external NG gas line for my Weber grille in the deck. The previous owner set this up back in 2000 when they remodel the kitchen. I want to change the shutoff valve since I have to replace the nipples to connect the Weber gas hose. Is there such a thing as an outdoor shutoff valve or will any gas shutoff valve will do?

You can use a simple ball valve on the pipe, but they are not specifically "outdoor" valves. Your hose should to the gas pipe with a quick coupler as well. These quick couplers are very similar to air couplers and while they also shut the gas off when the hose is disconnected, you should have a manual valve as well.

You may want another real gas shutoff valve inside the house too where it's protected from the elements.

I have the quick connect coupler from the grill hose to the gas line, and before that is the manual gas valve. That is the valve I want to change. The only part I am unsure of now is do I have a valve at my kitchen range that will shutoff the outdoor gas line too or will I have to shutoff the gas from the gas meter.
Is this gas ball valve from Home Depot OK?

Zuffy, there is no way for us to tell if you have a valve at your kitchen range that will shut off the gas to the grill. It's possible, but not a typical way of plumbing the gas line. You'll just have to look at the pipes to see if there is a valve or not. If there is, then you can leave the meter on. Otherwise, shut the meter off.

VERY unlikely to have a second valve on the line. Shut off the meter, but a plumber would not have to do it.

Shutting off the gas at the gas meter is not a problem. I just wanted to avoid relighting the pilot for my boiler and water heater. I am 99.9% sure the external gas line is in series with the range gas line since the external gas line is parallel to the range but outside.
So, is the valve I posted any good? That is all Home Depot have. I do have access to many plumber shops in NYC if there is recommended brand/model.
Thanks for the help guys.
