Not where I really want to be
A furnace for a mercantile fit out is located against the north wall of a mechanical room that is 12'x12'. The only gas shut off for the furnace is on the south wall clearly visible, accessible and labeled on a manifold that has other shut offs.

Is this compliant?
 
No! The shutoff valve must be located within 6 ft. of the appliance. See Section 409.5 in the 2006 IFGC.

Keep `em coming.

I'm starting to see a trend here. Maybe it's time to create another topic folder for test questions

and Brain Teasers.
