Help on LPG Cooker hoses required

[mmcostex]

I recently started doing gas installations and am qualified. I have a bayonet hose, bayonet socket and a straight wall connector. The problem is the straight wall connector needs the copper pipe(15mm or 1/2") to be soldered into it. The wall connector has a 1/2 female iron socket on the other side for the bayonet socket to screw into it.
Where can i get a straight wall connector with two 1/2" femal sockets. This will let me avoid soldering the copper pipe altogether and just use a compression fitting with a 1/2" male thread.
Please be specific on where to get it as i have being looking lots.

Remember the entire assembly must not protrude more than 35mm so cooker can be pushed back fully. Water tap type fittings are no good here as they stick out too far
Thanks Very Much for any help

If your qualified for LPG then your answer would of been a particular colour of ring or stripe.

Excuse me im sorry.

If your asking about a fitting, like the one you have been shown, the you clearly are not qualified, and if you are then god help your customers and family.

The hose which IS part of the fittings should have a red stripe or ring to denote it as suitable for LPG. The one you have is for Nat gas

If your qualified solder joint should be POP. A nice neat and simple job. Most cookers have a recessed area in the back to allow for bayonet connector, at least the quality ones.

Let's face it, and i don't mean to be rude, but the terminology you are using doesn't sound like that of a registered gas installer/plumber. Considering you are dealing with LPG i think you are mad for trying to do this if that is the case as LPG is far more dangerous than natural gas given the fact it is heavier than air.

If i've got it the wrong end of the stick then i apoligise, but i think it's fair to say that no CORGI registered engineer will promote trying to do the job umless competant, so i think it's fair you try and convince us that what you are saying is true?

Are you aware of what pressure you should be testing the install after carrying out the work, using your manometer?

No offence, but i don't want to aid someone to break the law by providing infomation that make's them possible to do so.

Yes and if you were LPG then you would realise that a hose to BS 669 IS for LPG and WILL have a stripe or band in red on it.

WRONG!! check your facts if the hose is to BS 669 then it is O.K.
