Hey guys, I recently moved into a house built in the 20s, and it has nozels for gas in most of the rooms. Currently attached are some very unsightly heaters. How do I remove them properly, and avoid exploding my house? Pic is of the one in the fireplace.

Turn valve to closed position. Disconnect gas line. Check for leaks. No leaks? Done.

Which way is closed position? Sorry, I've never even had a gas stove before, so I don't know what I'm doing at all.

The valve is open when the knob is parallel to the flow direction through the valve and closed when the knob is perpendicular to the flow direction. This is true for most valves with non-round knobs.

>old valves

If it feels stuck don't force it. Ask diy for advice on how to unstuck valves first. Don't ask me though, I've broken enough to know I suck at it.
