Lobster,

Sorry if the original post wasn't clear - I just meant detaching the
male and female fittings as you would when removing then replacing a
bayonet lightbulb (I've got the habit of talking about 'unscrewing'
bayonet lightbulbs for some reason, and it obviously carried across to
my writing about cookers ). I just want to detach the cooker from
the pipe/wall - I've no desire to move where the actual fitting is or
anything like that.

If I just just want to uncouple the male and female fittings, am I
meant to get a CORGI plumber to do this or is it legal to do so myself?

Cheers,

Jon

Just do it yourself ..Thats what these fittings were made for ..If u
havent done it before ( as I suspect) then be prepared for it being
tight ..Hold the female fitting firmly while turning the male part and
when refitting push firmly .Also cover up the fittings while apart to
avoid dirt getting in .
