Hi
we are having a Britannia range cooker installed.
I am getting parts for the plumber to come round tomorrow to fix it.
On SF they sell the standard hose with bayonet fitting (as recommended by manufacturer), which has a bore size of 9.5mm.
Isn't that too tight for a range cooker which has 12kW gas Output?
Should I go for a semi-rigid stainless steel, yellow-sleeved gas hose which has an internal bore of 16mm? But with compression fitting?
We are having the cooker installed finally after 5 months without kitchen (and having had a crap cooker before that), I really don't want to find that the cooker is under powered.
Or 9.5mm is more than enough and I should go for the easy route (bayonet)?
Your help is appreciated!
