free standing cooker

[desrob]

can a free standing cooker be just that, free standing,the customer wants the cooker standing next to a unit 90 degrees off an out side wall,making the cooker central to room,bayonet can be secured to unit,any thoughts

 

[Leo21]

Can't figure out the layout your describing, but it needs a wall or a structure at the back of the cooker. For stability bracket or chain and wall plate to fix the bayonet to.

Tricky one! We all know a stability chain is needed to stop it falling forward bu what's to stop it falling to the side if its not surrounded by units

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

you cant fix the bayonet to a unit,its not deemed adequate

 

[Leo21]

Iff you look in the mi,s it always state how far from units, wall units it needs to be but never how far away.

 

[REDSAW]

nah!!!!. needs a solid non moveable structure for bayonet to fix too.

dont need owt as oven door opens to the front and oven shelves come forward

I have a feeling that that is one of specific questions on the actual cooker assesment

boiling water falls in all directions?

 

[dancinplumba]

it does but when shelves are pulled forward out of the oven, cooker becomes unstable cos weight is forward

the regs are not bothered by that though it needs a chain or stability bracket to prevent the hose being ripped apart and causing a leak/explosion

regs may not be but the mother of the child that got burnt may have something to say about it.

i agree also the mother needs her head examined if she has a small child around a gas cooker when its in use

 

[dancinplumba]

as with everything its always the installers fault, same with gas explosions...... chase the last engineer there not the idiot that turn the light on.

no mi available, i was always taught to use ridgid,but there are exceptions.

 

[Leo21]

I wouldn't do it myself, but it is per missable.

tbh a hob on a hose always make me think its been installed by the tennant/customer.
