It could be that the regs that I use are out of date.

Perhaps someone can point me to the correct regulation.

That's not in my copy of BS 6172:2004. Mine says:

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" """"""""""""""""""""""

11 Gas Connections

11.1 General

11.1.1 Only gas installation pipes and connectors of sufficient size to
maintain the maximum heat input of a cooking appliance, as specified by
the appliance manufacturer, shall be used.

11.1.2 A cooking range shall be connected to the termination point with
rigid pipework.

11.1.3 Unless stated otherwise in the manufacturer's instructions, a gas
hob shall be connected to the termination point by a rigid fixed
connection.

Interesting.

I did quote the reg number wrongly. Should have read 11.1.3 and not
11.1.1

What amendment number do you have?

Mine is 16116 5 January 2006.

It would seem that of our copies has been superseded.
