Connect from odorized gas outlet valve K2 to an unused valve on the natural gas pipeline downstream of the regulated pressure drop (Figure 1 or Figure 2). Welker recommends using stainless steel tubing for all natural gas process lines, as plastic tubing can absorb odorant from the gas. Ensure that all valves on the system are closed.
