Okay so I am obviously not planning on tackling this as a DIY task, but I'm hoping somebody might be able to explain to me what is going to be required in order to save me getting over charged and also so that I know if I'm going to end up with a huge bill.
So at the moment I have a gas cooker. This is to be changed to a standalone gas hob fitted into the worktop which I know from a gas engineer friend of mine that you cannot use a flexi hose on such a thing like the cooker so I'm gonna have to get a gas engineer in to do some work for me. But I'm looking at what I have.. And what's needed and getting
Confused.
First off - the hob itself is fitted with a 1/2inch BSP female connection.. Like the current cooker.. Now this is not gonna fit to a 15mm copper pipe now
Is it? So i assume the engineer may remove this?
Then. The pipe coming out of the floor is not 15mm. It's quite big but I don't think quite 22mm. It then has some strange 90 degree thing attached to
It, with a bayonette for the cooker hose fitted into
That in 1/2 inch bsp again... So my question is basically -
Can this be adapted somehow to fit to the hob? Or is Mr Gas Man going to tell me that I need a whole new pipe?! And if so
How will it be done because I've not seen any adaptors like
This.. So is it going to be fiddly and as such cost me loads in labour?
Help?
