These things usually just plug into a wall mounted gas outlet socket.

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

Why? Our present gas hob (electric oven) uses a flexi pipe and our free
standing oven (2 ovens ago) had a flexi to feed it. It makes them so
much easier to install and when needed, to service.

Our leccy oven has finally started to show it's age, which means we
are looking for replacements. (We've waited for this day for 8
years !!!!). Both Mrs Jethro and I prefer gas, and were hoping to
squeeze a double oven into the space ... after a hard afternoons
googling, we found this :

http://www.builtincookers.co.uk/stov...3055.aspx#spec

which is a Stoves model. I've always thought of that brand as being
one of the more elite, so hopefully better quality.

Anyway, two questions :

1) anyone familiar with the above, or can suggest an equivalent ...
2) Regarding fitting. Would I be correct in assuming the best way
forward would be to arrange to physically fit the thing (cutting
space, etc) and then call a gas engineer to complete the gas bits ? Or
is there some logic to getting the thing gassed up, and *then* fitting
it ? (Can't see it myself) ....

cheers

Unfortunately, our existing cooker is electric ... we have a gas hob
though, but that was fitted with a ridgid pipe - so at least we'd need
the socket fitted ...

of course if it does come with a standard pipey-thingy, then the
socket could be fitted whenever ....

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.

if your gas hob is on a flexi, and not rigid then it's not fixed to regs.

But as with most things, these regs aren't retrospective; if Harry's hob
was installed according to the rules prevailing at the time, then he
certainly has no need to rip it out and have rigid pipework fitted...

Not to current regs, but could have been correct at the time of installation.
No necessity to update so I'm not changing mine.
