It was actually a 3 year old girl who died in Sheffield when she sat on the drop down door of a cheap import cooker that prompted the reg, there had been incidents though with the old cannon cookers too.

I am not sure that these stories are actually true, and if they are, I beleive that they did not bring about the regs
When I started back in the mid 70s as a Gas Board appentice, the rules were clear; ALL cookers had to be fitted with rigid tube UNLESS it had wheels, either as an add on or built in. At the start of the rigid rule realxation there had to be a restraint, and drop down doors were more prevaalent then

c'mon gasbani i'm not saying i don't talk ****, but you need to tell me what bit is **** so that i learn, i have read range cooker MI's that state rigid pipe, i have read BS6172 which states cookers fited with hoses must be restrained, so it might be my conclusion that is **** as i interpret what i have read, do tell

Speaking as nothing more than an observant DIYer only, I have definitely seen a couple of range cookers that were connected with a flexible hose. And I know that this was definitely what the MIs reccomended in one of the cases (my brother's Comet special).
yes i agree, my original post said i had read MI saying rigid but there are others which state you can do either, MI rule but the point of this post is about stability brackets, and they are specifically for cookers with hose, they are not required for cookers with pipework installed to BS6891 (by that i mean rigid pipe installed as it should be, and therefore safe)
That one is true, it was mid eighties and I knew the bloke who investigated it.

Range cookers rigid pipework..............since when !
unless your talking commercial. I have fitted hundreds and probably repaired thousands for a major manufacturer of quality ranges and how many have been plumbed up in rigid pipework ? 0 !
The only ones rigid will be AGA's/Rayburns etc, solid cast iron cookers, no others will be rigid.
