Sounds a bit like the way Citroen make cars. Make the heater and then build
the rest around it!
One reason why I hate gas. If there was a leak its a nightmare. I wonder
why they did not use a flexible pipe?

Hi, I wanting to replace our somewhat knackered gas oven with an
electric one. So first I need to remove the old one.

The oven is a high level built in oven, installed early 90's I
think. I have the manual but it gives no clue.

I've started to remove it but can't get it out more than about 4
inches. So something, quite possibly the pipe is stopping in
coming out.

I was hoping it might be on some sort of flexible connection as
the gas supply is pretty inaccessible behind the cupboards. I've
been able to ahvr a look with my daughter GoPro on a stick. I can
see the pipe (there is quite a lot of space as behind the area
adjacent to the oven ISA big alcove were the range would once
have been) running round where it supplies the hob and boiler in
the next door room, and then disappearing behind the cupboard
next to the oven.

If there is a fixed connection it must be behind that cupboard,
made before the worktop was put on, maybe even before that unit
was installed.

Before I attack the rear panel of the neighbouring cupboard anyone
any experience of this and the likely method of installation?

Thanks

Impatient me.

A bit more dismantling and clearing away of 30 years of fluff
collected underneaththe oven (I guess this was the air intake,)
has revealed an accessible connection which h looks like it will
then let me get it out.

They sometimes have a chain that you have to unhitch somehow that stops
you damaging gas connection.

You are *always* supposed to have these on free-standing cookers. Don't
know about built in ones though.
