Gas cooker bayonet socket

[slippyr4]

Hi all,

Final stages of planning my kitchen at the moment, want to set the base units this weekend. Thus I need to know how far my cooker will end up sticking out.

I've not had my gas man out yet to fit the cooker's gas supply (previously had electric cooker)

What's the regular install? 15mm copper pipe into a wall mounted brass elbow, then into an elbow bayonet socket? Thus total distance from the wall is approximately 80mm?

If I allow 100, would that be enough?

Thanks

mine sits at about 50mm from the surface

so is your elbow perpendicular to, or parralel with, the wall?

You might get a better response on the plumbing forum

you dont have to put the elbow behind your cooker,put it on the wall behind the cupboard next to the cooker.leave access to connect and disconnect the bayonet.(leave the backpanel loose) the backplate is fixed 600 from floor
