I’m at a loss for words.
I can't help but see one of those plaid woven bicycle pump hoses as the feeder to the grill.

Looks like they did an air test to me. The line is probably shut off inside and they never removed the tester.

John called it right, typical test rig used by plumber for water lines. Guage does not have enough divisions for proper gas line testing, well at least in SC it does not.

Why is there a schrader valve on this line? Is it used to bleed off air from the feed?

It’s used for the plumbing inspection to pressurize the system with air to check for leaks. Here in New Jersey the system has to hold the same pressure over night. The rig should have been removed after passing inspection and capped.

I have been helping a friend build a studio at his place. The heating contractor on the job left an identical rig to this on the gas line 5 months ago when the rough-in got inspected. It’s still there, and it still holds pressure. Yes, the schrader valve is there to relieve the pressure. All the plumbers in this area use these things when the pipes are inspected by the county.
