I'm in the process of doing some excavation in my own yard for once and ran across this segment of underground gas line running off the metered side. There is the large cap, a Tee that runs to the house itself, and then a line that's capped. The capped line runs up toward my future shop and it wouldn't hurt my feelings to have a bit of gas for some heat or maybe a small forge at some point. Is either the large cap or the segment that comes up from the Tee a valve?

My thoughts as well. Just doesn't seem right. Call the utility and find out the truth of the situation. Threaded fittings below ground would be a huge red flag to me. Lucky something didn't break off while digging.
