Does anyone have the exact text for BS 6172:2004 as I cannot find it

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

Ah - that substantiates the 'unsubstantiated' quote in my previous post
to this thread. So give that in the OP's case, the mfr has never even
heard of the 'rigid connection' regs, it is barmy that the mfr's
instructions take precedence. (Isn't it?)
