Gas Cooker

Ringmaster · 11-02-13, 02:49 PM

Hi all,

I've got a gas cooker that came with my flat when I bought the place.

I've never had a gas cooker before and want to change it to electric.

My question is: Am I allowed to disconnect the gas at the back myself or am I required to get someone 'gas qualified' to do it?

Keep the gas, if you have a power cut you still have another option and you can light yer fag on it easier too

If the gas cooker has four rings keep it, if not change it for an electric with four rings

Sorry, someone had to say it.

Most gas cookers have a bayonet quick release hose which close the supply automatically (legal).
If it has a tap behind the cooker you can turn it off and use a spanner which is also legal,
but I would recommend you then screw a blank on afterwards.
If you have to cut the pipe then that is a NO NO.
