Gas pipe to hob

[namsag]

Newgirl instead of being horrorfied at the guy last year perhaps you should be horrified at the guy this year who has just cost you a lot of money for something that may not have been required.
Just a shame you listened to first guy on here that replied to you who clearly does not know the regs himself so is he ,,,,, what was the word he used.

Ah yeah the nupty.

And for fek sake Agile get it right its Numpty ya Numpty

For clarification - an inset hob has to have copper pipe connection (subject to MI), but a freestanding cooker may have rubber? Or am I wrong?

 

[namsag]

Your wrong for one simple reason, its what the MI`s say is what you go by

 

[doitall]

Very wrong, several of the Manufacturers will say it is ok.

Furthermore Corgi issued a technical bulletin to say so.

I can look it up if you're desperate.

TB 041 Fixed hobs and ovens.

Not that desperate. But, for the sake of argument, suppose the MI doesn't state anything (or lost MI since not in the skip where one got the hob/cooker from ), then in your experience, best practice is?

 

[namsag]

If MI dont say flex ok then you would solid fix, same as you would without instruction, but then again your not meant to fit it without instructions fek it gets complicated

 

[doitall]

Best practice is to find out, from a client point of view.

With the internet it's unlikely you can't get MI's, and most will send you a copy anyway.

Thanks for that. Not that I'd install one anyway - I don't do gas. Just curious. Hope you don't think I wasted too much of your time.

Why would we think that.

The guy also said the hob needed changing as one ring was not working and I was well aware that the hob had been there for many years and was happy to replace, hence I went ahead and did so.

I bought a Moffat simple hob from Wickes.

Thanks for all the advice chaps! Sorry to have caused some friction amongst yourselves!!

I suspect it's not the first time this has happened. Like a bunch of squabbling old grannies this lot...!

If the property is a FLAT or most masonettes then a hob or cooker has to have flame failure devices ( since 2008 ).

Does your new hob have them? Of course thats assuming its a flat or has a property below or above.

Ok, i probably should check this before i go to bed but i can't be ars*d so i will tomorrow but...

I never fit hobs but i was under the impression that the fitting of hobs on a flexible was ok if the manufacturers instructions allowed it but the flexible connection had to be metal formed with a non corrosive coating?

Surely a rubber hose alone cannot withstand the heat generated when in an enclosed enviroment behind an oven (admittidly not all are but the majority) and this could have major safety implications?

Like i said i will check tomorrow. Again it's just one of those things that seem to be rattling around up there.

Oh and as per Tony's post.. spot on but not alot of people know that!

And hate it even more when you tell them!!
