Built in under gas oven

lagi

Planning my new kitchen and i have decided to go for a built in under gas oven and a gas hob.

I have a pipe which at the moment has a little tap on the end. Would both cooker and hob have similar fittings to a free standing cooker? Would i just have to get a double connector (once correct end is on original pipe)? Are there any rules where this pipe has to sit as its about 3ft away at the moment?

Yes there are.. Can you guess what I might say next.?:rolleyes:

I love the way that as soon as you mention electrics or gas everybody assumes that means your going to do it yourself. I am in the process of designing the kitchen and where things are going to sit. I am not going to pay for a plumber to come round and sit down and plan my kitchen for me. However, when i have the required information as to where the units are going to go (or can go) and i am happy with the design then i will be getting the man from corgi to come round and put them in their correct places.

I need an idea so i can source the appliances first so that he fits the right connections, also consideration has to be made for the design of the kitchen. Its no good him fitting a socket if its not where the cooker is going to be. Thats why i asked if at 3 metres away you could still connect to it, if this is the case i don't have to be too accurate at the moment.

Have you helped me: not this time

Hi

I think your second post should have been swapped for the first post

In the first post you ask specifically about the connections and fittings needed, in the first person.

(Would i just have to get a double connector)

What part of this doesn't suggest you might be trying a bit of DIY ?
How is anyone supposed to work that out over the internet?
Is that 3 feet or 3 metres??

If the pipe is on the same side of the kitchen on the same wall it would be reasonably safe to assume it could be moved to suit.
If it's on the opposite wall then you could have a problem.
When your Corgi prices up the job he /she will know what to supply

Is THAT any help?

The bayonet fitting once fitted i would plug into, can't go too wrong with that. I mean is there a double fitting plug you get so you plug each one in independantly.

3ft away, pipe is in corner and would be along the same wall.

Maybe your right, it might be too confusing across the internet. I will have to get my corgi guy round first, which i didn't want to do. Wanted it done in one hit.

Sorry, got a habit of speaking in the first person.

I stand to be corrected as I am a commercial corgi, not domestic. But I believe that a built in appliance has to be hard piped, the bayonet connectors are for free standing appliances.

You are right, I have just had a new kitchen fitted with built in electric oven and gas hob, two separate corgi fitters confirmed that the hob had to be hard piped.

Just found something else that has confirmed that too. Looks like i am going to have source cooker/hob then fully workout kitchen design before getting someone in to move the pipes. Will also be considering electric again now...

The hob will be hard piped and the oven will be on a bayonet hose
