suburban water heater sw6de valve

[Hornnumb2]

I have a trip coming up soon and the valve is leaking propane. I always run it on electric. Is there any reason I couldn't remove the valve for now and cap the line till I can buy a new valve and still run it on electric or it going to look for that valve to be there? Thanks Michael

Don't even need to remove....just disconnect gas line and cap it off.

Separate controls for electric and gas (110V AC and 12V DC).
