CP12 on a gas hob

[desijas]

Hello,

I’m just about to carry out CP12 on a gas hob which has no brand marking and is tiled in.

I’m happy to check the gas taps check and see if it has a AECV and a gas rate but without a manual for the hob do I need to remove it to find the badge details or do I use my findings from the gas rate itself?

Why can't you see underneath?
Need to rate it anyway too.

yes you need to read the data badge.

AECV = ? it should have a means of isolation, an Aditional emergency control valve is not for appliance isolation.

Never taken an oven out yet to check for an isolation valve. Gas rate, tightness test, flame picture and safety devices is what I do.

I take out every oven for a hob inspection, 2 mins work!

Gas rate a hob on a CP12, that's news to me! Each individual burner or all on at once? What's it gonna tell you if you haven't got the mi's?

Ventilation, flame picture, operating pressure are the essentials for safety. Then you do a visual on proximity to combustibles etc. There's a list of the 'have to do's' on the back of the safety certificate... As long as you know it's got adequate gas and the burner ain't dancing like a snake charmer, you're not gonna kill the custard ... Main issue I've ever come across with Hob's is reduced BP when the boiler comes on and no FSD! OH, and swimming with grease!!!! lol

I particularly dislike the ones which are shrouded in tin foil...

This is against regs and classed as at risk as gas can build up under the foil,get loads of far eastern tenants do it,unhappy when I take it off

imho

Why do people do that??? Any one know?

Get quite a lot of hobs with only one or two burners working. Grease got so thick it's spilt into the pre aeration chamber and blocked the injectors!! Dirty begga's uke:
