Go to home depot they will give you everything you need. YOu only need two wrenches to install. Just remember that you need tape on every threaded joint. It is very simple.
I think he said there was no lever which I would assume means there is just a capped line, in which case he would have to shut the gas off at the meter before installing the quick connect.
