basically i need to eliminate a gas line in my garage, and the way it snakes through and around my foundation i would have to unscrew about 10 different fittings with almost no room to work.
would it be safe to shut off the gas, drain the lines, wait a bit, then hacksaw through the pipe? i do'nt want to be one of those people that blows their house up, but if the long way doesnt' work out that's what i'll have to do anyway.
there are no ball valves before where i'd need to cut, just the main cutoff outside the house that i HOPE doesn't leak.
