Residential furnace: No conductivity across gas valve

Thanks, man. But I already know.

Proper fire safety protocols are in place: I'll be wearing Novex clothing, working with hotsticks, have all of the other appropriate PPE installed on my body, and have a manned fire extinguisher (and a garden hose) on standby.

I do not anticipate knowingly creating any scenarios that might involve exploding myself. Or at least, none that Joe didn't experience hooking his gas range to the feed on day 0.

I learned enough about combustible gas in 1992, when little-me turned off the outside gas grill (but not the outside gas grill bottle), and my Dad woke up to a thick sea of propane fumes a few hours later.

He made sure to let me know that I was lucky to live through that ordeal while expressing over and over again that whatever I did was unsafe.

If you'd like to issue additional beatings: Please take a ticket, but do be aware that we're not accepting new entrants a this time.

Thank you for your concern. (I've also subsequently summoned the fire chief cases like a big public building, like a Home Depot, having an abundance of gas-stink near the front. If there's any other leaps-of-faith you'd all like me to take part of, then feel free. Otherwise I think you're doing unwarranted attacks.)
