I know, but there’s still a part of me that wants to avoid it. The last time I had a guy do it he didn’t even shut the gas off when he replaced a valve. He said “it’s low pressure, it’s fine”. I’m pretty confident I would be more careful than that haha
He probably didn’t want to deal with the air he would’ve introduced into the system. Or he was extremely lazy. Or both aha.
Realistically, the pressure was probably less than 1 PSI, as residential gas is measured in “inches of water column,” especially after the regulator. Where I did gas work, even before the regulator was never more than 2 PSI.
