Is this valve gas rated? How can the correct type be identified?

I don’t think so. Call your local Gas utility and ask them.
Every gas valve I have ever run across is a ball valve.

Dennis,
Three things wrong with the picture.
1.Wrong valve (needs to be gas c*#k valve, I don't think a ball valve can be used)
2.No soft copper with flare fitting anymore.(hard pipe or approved gas line)
3.There is no mud leg on the gas line.
Your area may be different but is how it is here Oklahoma.
Thank you,

Most valves of any quality have the letters WOG stamped on the side.
Water, Oil, or Gas

Don’t argue with an idiot someone watching may not be able to tell the difference.

Water globe valve wrong type for gas.
No drip leg.
IF this is on natural gas, copper is not allowed to be used for natural gas in my area.
Compression fittings prone to leak if bumped slightly.
Did anyone notice the union is on the wrong side of the "wrong" gas valve?
