Jethro has brought this to us :
of course if it does come with a standard pipey-thingy, then the
socket could be fitted whenever ....

They all (so far as I am aware) use a flexible feed pipe fitted with a
quick disconnect bayonet at the end.
think it should be on rigid piework, don't forget about the ventilation

Certainly gas hobs now have to be on rigid pipework but AFAIK ovens are
still OK with a bayonet jobbie?

FWIW, when our present gas hob was fitted, I recall the fitter saying
it had been incorrectly fitted (previous owner) as they had used a
flexi pipe, and it should have been rigid. He left it according to
regulations (so the wife tells me) ...

WHICH MEANS ... there conceivably could be the socket left behind, in
which case I can fit it myself :-) :-)

I shall unscrew the old oven (below the hob) and investigate.
