Hi
We are having a gas hob installed and I was wondering which supply pipe to purchase ?
I will not be making my own connection, I am just looking to purchase the necessary materials.
As I understand it there will be a couple of propane gas bottles outside the house with a pipe running from the bottles under the ground, through a plastic sleeve through the wall ( still underground ) coming out under the kitchen units and then up to the hob.
The hob will be a 5 burner unit. The pipe will run for no more than 10 metres with no connections in it.
Am I correct in saying that plastic coated copper pipe ( which comes in a coil ) will be right for the job ?
Could any one tell me how to calculate the ID required to ensure sufficient gas pressure at each of the hob burners ?
Cheers
Hi self builder.
I have a 47 kilo propane botle piped up to my cooker sited in an out building. I just used 10mm oil line run along the outside wall of my home. About 14 meters approx.
Isolating valve fitted at the back door then some more oil line , then about one meter approx of rubber hose connected with jubilee clips.
(I dont think its water hose) Probably breaks a few rules which some of the numptys on here might not be to happy about but it works fine.
