Hi all,
I have a question about the valves used on residential natural gas lines. It would seem that every residential home I have ever been in has these little red-handled gas valves in front of every appliance connection point.
They look like this:

Is there any problem with just using a normal every day brass ball valve like one of these:

The ball valves say 600 WOG (water oil gas) on one side and "1/2 PSI" on the other. (I'm not familiar with the 1/2 PSI designation)
Must I use the little valves with the red handles or can I just use a regular full port ball valve?
