Gas Hob - Flexible Hose Question

[outmyway]

I know this has been asked a trillion times on here ...

Can I use a flexible hose to connect my gas hob?

I've seen the answer is NO on here it must be copper ... but then saw these BG approved hoses for just that ???

What does the MI say , if your gas safe you should already know the answer!!!

The hose you are looking at is for a cooker not a hob?????

 

[Biggles..]

If the MI's state that a hose conforming to bs669-1 can be used then that's fine.(might want to consider it's suitability dependent what's under it)

Hoses are hoses,it's just the release connection that is different.

Can I use a flexible hose to connect my gas hob?

The simple answer is that YOU cannot fit any gas carrying part unless you are gas registered.

For obvious safety reasons!

You started off by putting your foot in it by suggesting that a flexible hose is suitable for connecting a hob. All because you saw one advertised!
