Doesn't removing the bayonet turn off the gas?

It does, but only if the bayonet "socket" is on the supply side and the
bayonet "plug" is the appliance side.


So a gas bayonet arangement only seals of at the 'fitting' side, not the
'hose' side when the connection is broken?

( I've never seen one. )

Yuk.
Double-Yuk.

What a cheap-skate arrangement. Works fine so long as no-one screws up.

All the hydraulic and compressed air pipework I deal with at work seals at
both ends of the coupling when disconnected.
Why the heck is it not fail-safe in this error condition?
