Default Seeking information on Micropoint cooker hoses and connections

Thanks for the comments chaps.

Hi

I have just had a Micropoint socket installed. This message is to
follow-up a query arising from a previous message ('Has the Corgi chap
done this properly').

Can anyone direct me to a website, or answer some queries, on Micropoint
cooker hoses and connections? Searches bring up lots of for-sale stuff,
but no real facts.

- Are Micropoint sockets and hoses intended to replace the 'conventional'
1/2" bayonet elbows and matching hoses?
- Is the flow-rate through Micropoint systems less than conventional ones?
If so is this a problem?
- What advantages has Micropoint (i.e. why would you use Micropoint rather
than a conventional approach)?
- Are there any special considerations needed when using Micropoint?

Many thanks

Steve
