Hi,
I wonder if anyone could help with this question. This is not something I intend to do myself, I am getting a plumber to come as I am fitting my kitchen, but don't want to get to the day and find it can't be done.
I currently have a fitted hob, but will be replacing it with a standalone cooker - I therefore, need to get a bayonet fitting fitted.
My probem is that I also have to move the fitting 2 feet to the right. Currently, however, the pipe comes down behind the dry-lining, and I have noticed it is a steel pipe, looks to be just over half inch in diameter.
For the plumber to move it, I will have to chase out around and behind the current fitting, and hpe the plumber can join onto it with copper pipe. I assume the current copper pipe for the hob goes into an adapter that converts it to steel.
I assume the steel pipe is threaded, but I can't see any kind of adapter that converts a threaded steel pipe to copper. Is anyone aware of how this would be done.
If it isn't possible, I'd rather know now and will have to get a plumber to qoute for a whole new feed.
Thanks
Paul
