Bayonet fitting way too low on the wall. Flexible gas hose should hang in a uniform u shape when cooker is connected and pushed back to the wall and wall chain connected to cooker. Before and after installation a gas tightness test should be to ensure no leaks. Also there's the commissioning of the appliance to make sure it all works. Once installation is completed the householder can disconnect and reconnect the bayonet hose as they wish.
I like the part where your shown how to connect the hose to the cooker...and where your shown how to do a tightness test...and where the fittings are spayed with ldf to check that the highly explosive gas that's in the pipe isn't leaking into the room and where the appliance is gas rated to check it's using the correct amount of gas and not pumping tons of carbon monoxide into the room as you cook..... Pay an engineer like me.... There's a reason I spent 4yrs training and pay £200 a year to be registered.... it'll be all woes and tears when something goes wrong and the insurance won't pay out.... £100 doesn't sound a bad deal then does it....😉
Do new ovens come with the bayonet pipe already attached to the cooker? Just weighing up whether I should pay an engineer £100 if it's just a case of attaching the new cooker bayonet to the gas?
I do not know, my cookers were already in in my parents' and my brother's houses. If you are in a shop, rather than buying online, you could have a crafty shufti down the back and see what is there.
@@ciararespect4296 a brand new cooker wouldn’t have a hose connected it would also need commissioning, I work for the gas emergency go to plenty of leaks caused by people who think they know what they’re doing.
Another thing to ask if I change to electric cooker can I leave the gas line in tact that is attached to the wall? are gas fires the same connection? many thanks Ian
ive got a 2 foot length section of 15mm copper pipe and because it is unsecured to the wall the gas fitter wouldnt fit the oven what would i have to do to bring it up to regs. Hope you can help thanks
In this house the gas pipe came out of the wall right where the bayonet fitting was. At the other house, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t8oZlfEqRFc.html there was a few inches of pipe visible and the fitting incorporated a plate that was screwed to the wall. If you have a length of pipe I expect that it should be secured with clips.
