Gas Shutoff Valve Location - In Wall Cavity?
Part of my kitchen remodel is moving the stove about 5 feet. There
will be a cabinet between the new location and the existing shutoff valve, which sticks up through the floor a couple inches from the wall. This prevents me from pushing the stove all of the way back. Since I need to move the line anyway, is it permissable to have the shutoff valve recessed within the wall? I understand newer ranges have a cutout on the back to go around the valve, but since I will have the wall open anyway, why not frame a box around the valve and not drywall the front? I think I've seen plastic boxes that fit into a stud cavity to do this, but on the floor behind the stove I really don't care how it looks. |
