Adding access to the water heater drain valve in the closet. Prefer something removable but not ugly. Suggestions?
For water heater access a 10×14 or 12×16 works well – enough to reach the valve and hose bib without being huge. I like panels with magnetic doors because they’re easy to pop off and put back. Got one recently and it’s been great – solid feel, no rattling, paintable surface: https://www.amazon.com/Access-Panel-Drywall-Plumbing-Durable/dp/B085617TBL?tag=contractorhub-20 Closes securely so you don’t see a gap when the closet door is open. Makes flushing the heater once a year way less annoying.
