The connection sticking out of the wall looks pretty knarled and immovable!
Why is it that silicone hoses can't be used? Is it the issue of heat transfer or is it simply neatness?
It is a bit daft how they give hobs the same threaded connector that goes on a cooker. Is this possibly due to other countries having different regs that allow rubber hoses? Perhaps if they gave it a different connector then people wouldn't go DIY-ing them with the wrong type of tube!
