Typically, any time I've set up a gas dryer the valve is always behind the unit near floor level. Of course access requires pulling the dryer forward. I am roughing in a laundry room and the gas line is actually coming from the ceiling and down inside a framed, outside wall. I was thinking about roughing-in the valve in-line with the black pipe at the same height as the receptacles and the washing machine outlet box. Then continue the black pipe basically to the floor with a 90 at the bottom and then my flex line to the appliance.
Any reason NOT to do this? Seems like it would make the valve much more convenient and faster to access. I've just never really seen it this way. My intent was to buy a blank outlet box and pipe it through that or build and finish out a small niche. Thoughts?
