Gas supply positioning for hobs

[tjch]

I am currently in the process of planning a new kitchen.

The old kitchen has a gas supply coming through the middle of the(concrete) floor directly below the position of the place where I plan to put the new gas hobs and cooker, as part of a peninsula.

Will I be able to us the existing supply without too much hassle, or will it need repositioning?

Thanks

You should be able to use this, your gas plumber will be able run the pipe behind the appliance and connect it.
But if you are concerned, I'd contact the person who is doing the plumbing, tell them about your layout prior to install. They will sort it.

Thanks for the reply.

Just to clarify, i am planning to put the hobs on a peninsula, so there won't be a wall at the back of the hobs. Will there be a gap between the back of the cooker and the cabinet in which to route the pipe/flexi-hose?

there should be allocated space behind the oven for the connection pipe to run.

the unit is designed to fit against a wall with enough room to get the pipe behind the oven up to the hob, so replacing the wall for a back panel will leave exactly the same gap.
