As everyone seems obsessed with the wires behind the gas pipe, I thought I would just to calm everyone down before anyone else gets excited, the kitchen was still getting installed and the electrician was carrying out a full rewire, customer asked could we connect the hob so so she could use and not have to keep going the chippy, so being helpful we connected the hob for them and protected the the pipe as best we could with some hair felt and gas ID tape until it was all complete. Thanks for watching Peace out ✌
I personally use some paste on the olives on both the valve and hob connection it's just the way I was taught , I would also use some pipe lagging sealed with gaffer tape on the pipe that's going across the wires..... 👍
Gas work looks all good to me. The electrician should have applied some bonding or filler over the cable. 25mm is the gap to pipes if exposed but and this is not plastered in. What the gas fitter does is better than nothing. It is to stop possible arcing and fire source
When working on gas pipework/soldering, the meter should be removed and capped for safety reasons, in this case the meter cupboard was directly next to the kitchen and only a meter or so away from the hob itself, we was showing the apprentice the correct procedure.
