running gas pipework for hob and gas cooker

[th]

what is the best way to run the pipe work to connect up the hob and over

 

[ArtfulBodger]

The best way is to get a corgi bod in to do it

garden hose not do ?..with jubilee clips mind !

 

[kevplumb]

Keep it away from danger by running the garden hose up through the middle of the cavity wall and have it emerge just at the hob connection and put some tape on it with the word "GAS" on it in case the house is still around in future and you want to know what's in the pipe

A few weeks ago I saw a hob unit that had been connected to the gas with a flexible cooker hose!

By the time I saw it it was in the garden together with the remains of the burnt out kitchen!

This time they had called me to connect the new cooker safely!

We had a new kitchen fitted some four years ago now, the corgi man said it was ok to fit the hob with a bayonet fitting and flexi hose as it is easier when it comes to replacing the hob.

the gas cooker would normally be fitted with flexi hose and the hob rigid and an isolastion valve below the two

Was the way he did it against the regs then? By the way the oven was electric

You can use a flexi pipe on a hob as long as the manufactures instructions allow it, its good fun though when you have to fit a oven in solid pipe as the m/i do not allow flexi hoses.

yes sorry my mistake the hob can be fitted with hose and the oven with rigid BUT...it needs an isolation valve below the two

There seems to be some confusion here.

In all normal situations a hob has to be fitted with rigid pipework and NOT a flexible hose.

nstreet should telephone CORGI if he wishes and they will send their inspector who will cut off the supply to the hob and label it with warning stickers and then fill in a RIDDOR form and later discipline the installer.

if you fit a hob only its rigid but if you have a gas cooker has well you can fit the hob with flexi if manu say,s so and fit the oven rigid BUT it needs an isolation valve before the two
