OT---Natural Gas Supply

I plan to install gas logs in my fireplace. The fireplace has book shelves, with bottom cabinet, on either side and the cleanest installation would be to drill through the bottom cabinet shelf and exit in the corner of the face and harth brick.
For a clean look, I would like for the gas shutoff valve to be inside the cabinet. The valve will be approximately three foot from the logs.
I know different areas have different codes, but as a gerneral rule, would this be ok?

Should be fine. I have a gas starter for my wood fireplace. It's a foot-long cast tube with about ten perforations that blast flames at the bottom front log. Its supply pipe goes through the masonry side wall of the fireplace and into the enclosed void outside the fireplace, where it connects to a valve. A lo-o-ng T handle comes out of the valve at 90 degrees and emerges through the brick facing that surrounds the fireplace. In other words, the on/off handle is a total of about three feet from the gas implement itself. (Don't know if this is even close to what you were inquiring about.)
