Welcome,

I'm going to moved this topic to the Plumbing & Central Heating and can you post another topic for the electric oven question in the Electrics UK.

Hi, welcome to the forum. You've actually posted this in the wrong place, but the mods will probably move it to plumbing, where you will be beaten with a large piece of lead by the Corgi man. Then you'll be transfered to electrics where Mr P will rip your spurs out and beat you with the soggy ends.

By the way, did I say welcome to the forum

and if it is programmable then the software section will sort your bits out.

You should get a corgi in to check hose, gas rate it, commission it etc. Probably find it will have an adverse effect on your house insurance if not done.

Ollski things are different in Austria in the UK we don't use hoses to connect hobs.

Reminds me, I read the instructions on one from B&Q - a Hotpoint 5 burner. It demanded that there was a powered extractor hood going to outside, and a vent in the wall at least 100 sq cm. It also required 2 cubic metres kitchen volume per kW input (which the kitchen alone didn't have!).

Seems a bit ott to me.

I thought it counted as a fixed appliance? This is news to me.

Everythings going ott chris....spent all morning in a meeting about the new open flued ventilation regs this morning....awful lot of At Risk appliances around very soon.

You can't use a hose on a hob as the hose is impossible to install as the manufacturer intended ie. it must hang in a U shape so the liner inside is not strained - there is insufficient space with an oven installed underneath.

Furthermore it is possible to exceed the maximum temperature rating of the hose if it was in contact with the back of the oven.

The majority of gas leaks occur with poorly installed gas hobs.

You can mate...I did it last week, think the hob was an indesit. The supply ran behind the oven and the tail supplied on the hob made it pretty simple. There is no difference temperature wise between the way the hob hose and the oven hose, they sat virtually side by side in the permissable zone for the oven. Depends on the oven and the space you have of course.

What are those then? Something else I didn't know.

New corgi regs since 1/8/05 apparantly.....flyscreen = AR, more than 10% undersize = AR, incorrect open flue comp. vents = AR....loads of old ncs situations are upgraded to At Risk.

 

[chrishutt]

Is that what is covered in the article in the September issue of Gas Installer? I haven't read it properly yet. It looked like a rehash of old rules - is there a significant change?

OK, Ollski's post answers mine.
