Hope I'm not violating forum protocol. I tried this in the UPC code forum, but I don't think there's much traffic there, so I'm asking this here.
I'm rearranging a laundry room configuration and don't want to move a gas line fitting. CA code, based on the UPC, requires an appliance gas shutoff valve be "accessible":

Thanks,
Murray
