The service valve for the gas line feeding my kitchen stove is located in the joist bay of the garage ceiling below. It's also kind of set behind a hanging HVAC duct, so it's hard to reach.

I am having the garage ceiling & walls filled with spray foam insulation and I need to find some way of having access to that ball valve after the insulation is in.
I plan on wrapping the line and ball valve with foam or cardboard when the insulation goes in, but I want need to figure out some way of being able to reach it if needed in the future. Is there any kind of a long handled extension or 'key' type tool that I'll be able to use?

It's a hard setup to explain, but if this makes sense to anyone, I appreciate any feedback.

i don't know about the codes in your area but in mine and all i know of the valve is supposed to be readily accessible and with in arms reach of the appliance

That's a good point, it is accessible, but not at the appliance.
If the valve were put behind the range, would that make it more accessible?

NO NO NO

in the base of the cabinet NEXT to the range

also leave the one in the basement in place
