re: Generator Question

One more question. The generator came in, and I have a friend who will hook me up a switch to my panel. Likely won’t be able to run my AC with the way I’m set up, but that’ll be okay. Window unit will be perfect.
My last question is regarding the gas. Is there anything special I need to do? I have the setup at my house that I can tap into. I figured I would remove the cap, put in a T, and run about 10 feet of pipe so I can put a connection. Do I need to do anything as far as pressure regulation? Or will it be enough for my generator to where I just open the valve when I’m ready to start my generator?

Following as well as I have this exact generator and looking to tap into my 1/2” natural gas supply pipe. 2 Questions:
1. Is there a recommended natural gas shutoff valve brand and material (e.g. brass) to use outdoors? I don’t mind paying for something that will last.
2. I will want to install a shutoff with 2 different connection types -1 for generator (which requires a 1/2” flare connection) or a BBQ pit which requires 1/2” pipe not flared. Any recs?
