On the inside connection after the valve, simply use a brass barbed connector for 1/4" rubber hose, and match the threaded side to whatever size pipe you are using.

On the outside, do exactly the same.
Actually it is illegal to run NG through wall at more than 5psi... Propane limit is 20psi

If using a propane tank, the tank valve IS the "outside" shutoff valve. If using NG yes you need a second valve in plumbing outside wall at "entry". This is something gas company would install "before" meter.
