Capping a cooker

[bewsh]

Alright guys? Went to do a landlords cert today, testing the cooker and the lid failed to cut off the gas to one of the burners, so ID'd it.

I always thought that you have to take the bayonet connection out and put a plug in the elbow, or cap the gas pipe. But after speaking to one of my colleagues, he said all you have to do is take the hose out of the bayonet and that's sufficient, is he correct?

Seems a bit dodgy as the customer could easily just plug it back in.

Personally, I would remove the pipe and cap the fitting off. But I'm a twit like that.

Don't forget you have to ask permission

I think you only have to disconnect hose but I always take bayonet out and stick an iron plug in because you cant trust tennants

ID is to disconnect and cap off in my opinion. So I would cap off gas supply.
Bayonets valves are prone to passing as well so it is best pratcice to cap it off.

I remove the hose and then either cap or plug the supply.

Plug or cap for me too.

i normally plug, if a stupid person wants to reconnect something and do themselves harm they can carry on for all i care, but it may cause harm to an inocent child or neighbour so a plug is the better option for my peace of mind.

As long as the paperwork is correct then you have covered yourself.
