I need to replace a on/off valve for gas logs in a fireplace. The valve is actually outside and is accessed by a rod from inside. The square nub on the valve is shot. There is no union above or below the valve. Is it possible to turn off the gas at the meter/valve on the opposite side of the house bout 40' away and cut the line to install a new valve and union? Is there a danger of explosion? Not sure if I can start at the logs and unthread all the sections to get back to the valve. Suggestions?
