I would check with you fitter first that that would be acceptable. A

It's about liability and insurance.

This is a DIY group. Fit it yourself, if competent. No more difficult
than
water.


I question that "no more difficult than water". My usual approach with
water is "fit, wait, find leaks, fix". That works fine with water because
leaking a couple of litres of water over a 12 hour period is pretty
obvious,
and fairly harmless (provided fixed promptly). A similar sized hole with
gas is a) not nearly so obvious; b) significantly less harmless.

The maximum extent to which I am prepared to DIY gas is "plug bayonet
fitting into cooker".
