Swing Joint Gas Line help

[Plumber69]

I need to put a swing joint on the piping circled in yellow. Can this be done leaving the red handled ball valve in place.

Would this work?

I don't see why not unless your code prohibits it, put a street 90 in the end of the valve and go from there. see if the inspector likes it.

I had to look up what a swing joint is. This seems to explain it nicely. https://www.parklandcounty.com/en/do-business/resources/planning/SC-Diagrams/Gas-Swing-Joint-Repair.pdf

In https://terrylove.com/forums/index.php?threads/street-elbow.8923/ #5, hj says you cannot use a street elbow on gas.
