appliance gas shutoff valve accessible? - moved by author
I'VE MOVED THIS TO THE "General Plumbing Forum" FOR GREATER VISIBILITY
I'm rearranging a laundry room configuration and don't want to move a gas line fitting. CA Title 24, Part 5 requires an appliance gas shutoff valve be "accessible":
What does accessible mean? Can the shutoff valve be adjacent next to the dryer (12"), but located within a sink cabinet where one can access it by opening the cabinet door?
Thanks,
Murray
