When we had the kitchen fitted sometime ago, we talked about moving the gas pipe though nothing was done about it. We decided to go with a ceramic hob as it was easier/safer with the small children.
Now, we want to consider fitting a gas hob where the gas pipe will need moving along the wall. We have a problem though, the house now has a fitted kitchen.
Is there a minimum height that the gas pipe has to be ran from the floor?
We ask as its probably easier to have a plumber lay the pipe against the skirting board underneath the kitchen units with the plinth off, than to try and remove 1-2 false backs of the kitchen cupboards.
The current 15mm blanked off gas pipe is sat behind a wine rack, which access can be by removing an 600mm wide fitted appliance. The next 1000mm unit has a false back, which would leave roughly 800mm of wall which the pipe could not be secured easily. I guess the pipe would need to be built up in stages (say 600mm lenghts with joins?) which we understand that the price/penalty for this would increase.
A crazy idea, or should we just stay with the ceramic hob idea?
