OP what size generator are you running? You need to confirm that your gas supply and current meter will supply what you need. Its possible you need to upgrade meters.
Features:
Runs on Gasoline, Propane Fuel or Natural Gas, for Flexibility on the Road or During Emergencies
9400 Starting Watts / 7500 Running Watts - Gasoline
8450 Starting Watts / 6750 Running Watts - LPG
6900 Starting Watts / 5500 Running Watts - Natural Gas
I went to get this set up at lunch. Does it look correct? (just insert it to the existing setup above the water pipe that terminates before it enters the house)

Checking online, there's about an 80/20 split on using black iron pipe versus galvanized. The main issue with galvanized pipe is the zinc flaking off internally and potentially plugging a downstream orifice. Proceed at your own risk with these fittings.
I would check the tag on the valve and make sure it's rated for gas service. This *appears* to be a generic valve rated for water service, not gas.
There is a pipe thread compound made for gas service - use this instead of Teflon tape, as shredded tape pieces can also plug downstream orifices.
