#2 I still remember the time I snuck home from work in the middle of the day, picked up my single-line, single-handset home phone and heard part of a very long long distance conversation which was being charged to my account. Somebody else in my apartment had tapped my line to make "free" calls.

#3 A drill, tap set, plus a few hardware store fittings and hoses.

Don't really need a shutoff valve because the upstairs folk will always need gas.

Yeah, that'll do it.

Can't find the teflon tape or pipe dope in the store? So just 'torque' it a little tighter until I can't hear any more loud hissing noises.

Should have done this a few years ago, though, when my hearing was better.
