Cap the gas point?

mickey1965 · 6 Sep 2006

Hello All.
We are changing from cooking with Gas in the kitchen to electric.
We have the quick fit bayonet gas outlet.
Should I get this capped or is there a fancy fitting I can buy to insert into it to keep it all safe? It will be behind a unit under an induction hob.
Many Thanks

Thanks KEVPLUMB.
What I meant by my question is should I technically or legally cap off the Gas supply (quick change coupling/bayonet fitting) or can I just leave it as is?
Regards

Cooker bayonets are only a temporary disconnection point and if you permantly remove the cooker it must be capped.

1/2 inch blanking plug is the best way i find.
