Running gas line for cook-top
I have a gas line in my basement that feeds my furnace. It is almost directly underneath where I want to run a new gas line for a gas cook-top. The run looks like it will be 8-10'. Can I just T off right there and go to the cook-top? Would I put the T before the furnace cutoff and also put a cutoff on the cook-top, or just put the T after the cutoff and run to the cook-top? In the event I had to work on the cook-top, I doubt it would matter if I cut off the gas to the furnace, but I wasn't sure if code said there had to be a cutoff on every appliance. Also, is there a certain size line that is used for cook-tops? I haven't opened it up yet and looked at the manual, so maybe it specifies in there. Can I use the yellow teflon-type tape for gas lines or should I use pipe dope? Thanks.
