Drip riser and method of operation

1. A system comprising:

a drip riser having an interior portion and a first quick-connect coupler, the first quick-connect coupler being fluidly coupled to the interior portion;

a riser attachment device having a second quick-connect coupler, an open end, and a valve disposed between the second quick-connect coupler and the open end, the second quick-connect coupler being configured to removably couple with the first quick-connect coupler, the first quick-connect coupler and second quick-connect coupler cooperating to fluidly couple the open end to the interior portion when the riser attachment device is coupled to the drip riser and the valve is opened; and

a third quick-connect coupler having a first end configured to removably couple with the first quick-connect coupler and an opening in a second opposing end, the third quick-connect coupler further having a plug sized to couple to the opening and prevent fluid flow through the third quick-connect coupler when the third quick-connect coupler is couples to the first quick-connect coupler.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the plug is recessed in the opening.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein the first quick-connect coupler is a male quick-connect coupler.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein the second quick-connect coupler is a female quick-connect coupler.

5. The system of claim 1 further comprising a riser pipe disposed between the second quick-connect coupler and the open end.

6. The system of claim 5 wherein the riser pipe has a length sized to position the open end outside of an access point.

7. The system of claim 5 further comprising a pressure gauge operably coupled to the riser pipe between the valve and the second quick-connect coupler.

8. A method comprising:

providing a drip riser with an interior portion coupled to a gas main, the drip riser having a first quick-connect coupler fluidly coupled to the interior portion;

providing a riser attachment device having a second quick-connect coupler, an open end and a valve disposed between the second quick-connect coupler and the open end;

connecting the second quick-connect coupler to the first quick-connect coupler to fluidly couple the riser attachment device to the interior portion;

opening the valve;

coupling a conduit to the open end and fluidly coupling an opposing end of the conduit to a container;

transferring a liquid from the interior portion into the container; and

removing a third quick-connect coupler from the first quick-connect coupler prior to coupling the second quick-connect coupler to the first quick-connect coupler, the third quick-connect coupler having a plug recessed in an end.

9. The method of claim 8 further comprising coupling the open end to a house gas system.

10. The method of claim 8 further comprising performing an odorant check.

11. The method of claim 8 further comprising measuring a first pressure in a riser pipe disposed between the valve and the second quick-connect coupler, the first pressure being measured prior to opening the valve.

12. The method of claim 11 further comprising measuring a second pressure in the riser pipe after the valve is opened.

13. The method of claim 8 further comprising disposing the open end outside of an access point.

14. The method of claim 13 further comprising venting gas from the interior portion.
