Cooker hoses

[markwm]

I have to move a cooker hob. It has a 1/2" nut connection on it. What type of cooker hose do I need?

If I buy a bayonet hose like this: http://www.screwfix.com/prods/12279/Plumbing/Gas-Fittings/Bayonet-Cooker-Gas-Hose-1200mm I assume I also need a Bayonet elbow like this? http://www.screwfix.com/prods/14904/Plumbing/Gas-Fittings/Bayonet-Elbow

And then I just do a normal compression fitting to the 15mm copper pipe on the other end?

As you are doing gas work i would assume you are corgi registered and you would already know what fitting to use if not you are trying to do something that can be dangerous if not correctly carried out IT IS ALSO ILLEGAL !!! you should always use a CORGI engineer

Is it possible to ask a question without getting this response?

Not when it constitutes a risk to gas safety get a professional in he will have the fittings on his van

He'll also have the jar of Vaseline that he hands me right before he gives me the bill no doubt.

I'm going to move the hob whether you agree or not. I've worked with gas before. I've just never used a cooker hose, just want to learn.

you could use garden hose and two jubilee clips if your not to bothered.

If I took that view with everything I wouldn't attempt anything at all. I thought these were DIY forums. Perhaps all talk of gas fittings should be banned because DIYers just aren't supposed to do it.

these are diy forums, but theres a limit to what diyers can do

Wel just because you've worked with gas before and have'nt killed anyone must make you an expert then !!! And you seem to have a bit of an attitude with someone who goes about makeing his living legally how much do you think his knowledge is worth ?Go ahead i hope you blow yourself up

Only person with an attitude is you. I asked a simple question, instead I get a lecture about getting a corgi registered plumber.

I have nothing against plumbers, but in my experience they're aren't cheap and it's hardly beyond the limits of a decent DIYer, moving a cooker hob. I was just unsure on the correct fittings. The same as I was when I started working with water, or pretty much anything else.

If you ask a question on the woodwork forum do you get replies about only trained professionals should be using circular saws? Gimme a break

If you're nothing else to say then I suggest you move along go ruin someone else's thread.

it is beyond the adverage diyer as you can't test it when you've done the job.
they aren't cheap as they have the right equipment to test it is working safely.

Last time I moved a gas pipe I our plumber to come and test it and supply a cert. I will be doing the same here.

i take it you never read it fully.

Diy gas work has not been declared illegal by the powers that be. However, the law does require that only competent people may work on gas appliances.
If you haven't been trained, you will not be competent
