Question about Hob

[bluemoonstan]

Is a hob connected with flexible cooker hose AR or ID??

 

[glenno1]

Not exactly sure but i would ID it and advise customer to have you repair it or you will have to disconnect

is fine to use a hose aslong as manufactures instructions say its exceptable and the hose is not subject to high temps and distress. See gas safe tech bulletin.

 

[aggis]

It's ok if MI allows it.
If inspecting an exisiting installation & the hob's on a flex & there's no signs of stress, the most it'll be is ncs, unless it's showing signs of stress, say from being next to a hot oven back it's ID, unless you can refix it with copper.

Here is a qoute from BS 6172.

11.1.3 A gas hob shall be connected to the termination point by means of rigid pipework or, unless stated
otherwise in the manufacturer’s instructions, a flexible connector and self-sealing plug device conforming
to BS 669-1.

Hope this helps.

desrob needs to be connected with rigid pipe. Would you just leave it??

If its safe then yes

It prob was done by a DIYer but if safe. It's safe

I've id many flexis. But in certain circumstances I will pass it

Unless I have MI's I A.R them if there is any signs of distress then I.D.

I was always taught that if its a fixed appliance it should be fitted with a rigid pipe

 

[dancinplumba]

do you not mean flued appliance, ie flued domestic appliances must be connected with a fixed rigid pipe.
