My hob is connected by what appears to be an ordinary 1/2 inch BSP to 1/2 inch BSP flexi-pipe. Is this allowable? Maybe it's a 'special' kind of pipe, but I can't find anything like it online with a search for 'gas flexi pipe'.
The installation passed gas safety checks for several years but I don't know how close the engineer actually looked. I've replaced the hob like for like as I'm fitting a new kitchen, but there is a definite and persistent smell of gas when I open the valve, so the pipe is obviously not sealing. The washers in it don't look great so I'd like to know what to do next to make it safe as I obviously don't want to blow myself - or anybody else - up. Thanks!
