Cooker with bayonet hose needs connecting where there is no bayonet fitting.

[armyash]

Hi guys I hae a job tomorrow evening, fitting a cooker with a bayonet hose attached but there is no bayonet fitting for the hose to connect to. Can I get a bayonet fitting that can be connected to the capped pipe in place? if not any suggestions? Thanks

I'm surprised they've never advanced the whole bayonet design because some cookers don't have a space to accommodate the bayonet as well as wall plate elbow ( terms of space ) and sometimes this can make the cooker stick out a bit

You've got angled back plates and micro bayonets if space is a massive issue.

Kris,either of these with the bayonet screwed in keeps the cooker right in the space

I hate using valves on water, they always seem to leak and restrict flow.

There’s always a full bore valve. Pegler is a gooden.

Either or depending on where existing pipework is, straight one is ideal if you know height required when doing first fix if pipe is coming through side of unit

That’s what I thought on my last cooker install… Ended up charging 300, cos the pipe from the meter was way too skinny.

Cut end off hose, shove over tube jubilee clip.

Bit of hose pipe, it's cheaper.

Juts make sure that you use yellow hose pipe , so people know its gas

It's all done, found a box of push fit fittings and a couple meters of plastic pipe. Saved me a few quid and was much easier. Didn't even need to use gas seal. Customer was happy, the plastic pipe looks better against the white tiles than the copper would have. A job well done.
