- 1). Shut off the gas at the main shutoff located before the first gas meter. Remove one of the pipes to allow the gas to escape the closed section, which has the two meters. Expose the pipe joint that connects the first meter to the main pipeline. Remove that joint using the pipe wrench.
- 2). Choose a new pipe and joint that has a capacity greater than the sum of the two original pipes. Place this pipe from the gas main line over to the new meter location. Connect the input side of the new meter to the end of the new pipe.
- 3). Connect a T-connector to the output side of the meter. Connect each of the two gas lines from the units to one side of the T-connector. Make sure each connection is airtight. Turn the main gas line back on and check for gas leaks.
