I am removing my gas cooker which has the bayonet type flexible connection. As I am replacing with electric cooker is it sufficient to simply disconnect the connector or is some other process necessary please?
Jim
those bayonet fittings are made for diy...so disconnect it as they are self sealing...
the only thing i would say is, can you be sure its not leaking once disconnected.
bayonet needs to be removed and plugged with a half inch iron plug.
bayonet is a temporary disconnection point only.
corgi or whatever corgi is now called.job.
bayonets are designed to allow people to disconnect and clean behind cooker etc, with the appliance going back in again, it is acceptable to leave a properly fitted non leaking bayonet in as a point of disconnection, (without testing how will you know) if it is going to be permanent i would suggest the bayonet was plugged, it is a spring loaded valve and could leak
