In my 49 there is a small pipe nipple between the thank and the valve. I would go to the local ma and pa hardware and get a 2" brass nipple 1/4" pipe. You may need a union if the shut off valve is male thread and not female. I also used teflon tape on the pipe treads. Not on the flared fittings but the pipe threads. Hope this helps.
