OK, so looking for a little advice about what I can & can't do here.
I have a pretty old Parkison Cowan Acclaim gas cooker (C. 30 years)-
I want to repaint in the kitchen, which will involve doing down the side and behind the cooker. Looking behind the cooker, I have a copper pipe going approx 3ft up from the floor, which then is connected to a ?rubber? hose about 2ft long which goes in a U-shape into the back of the cooker, and I'm presuming into a bayonet fitting which I can't see.
Questions:
1. Can I disconnect and reconnect myself to move the cooker out completely, or is this a job for a gas person?
2. At every service of the boiler & cooker (Previous was 6 months ago), I get a NCS on the cooker, due to lack of FSD & FFD, therefore I'm not sure if disconnected, it can be reconnected at all?
3. If I *can't* disconnect entirely, can I simply disconnect the safety chain and pull out as far as the hose goes?
Cheers
