Cannon Oakley Gas Cooker - Removal

[poppysmith0]

Hi, after some saftey advice.

I have the above gas cooker installed by a corgi guy 2 years back.

Im moving at the end of the week and want to give this cooker to my mum as its brand new nearly. it has a rubber hose connecting from the cooker to the wall with the wall connection moving as opposed to the gas coooker connection which is tight.

Is this description a bayonet fitting? Can i switch off the gas from outside (my landlord will cap off my cooker points after i leave but not b4) and remove the cooker from the wall pipe? i admit im trying to save costs but think if the gas supply is off (the meter being outside in a locked cupboard) then its safe.

Will be getting it fitted by a Corgi guy though.

thanks.....

If it was fitted 2 years ago by a Corgi registered fitter, it is almost certain it is fitted with a rubber tube into a bayonet connection . These can sometimes be rather stiff, so just try holding the wall connection firmly, push the tube upwards and twist, and it should come out.
