The “meter valve” addressed in Section G2419.2 is the utility suppliers valve and can not be used as a substitution for the other valves required in Sections G2419.3, G2419.4 and G2419.5. The code does not require a generic “piping system shut-off” on the house side of the meter, except for the “common system” identified in Section G2419.3.
