CP12 on a gas hob

[AWheating]

im i right in thinking the only time a hob gives of co is when someones been messing with the jets and fat is all over the shop and you either get flame lift off or no flames at all due to lift off and fat..

if its nice and blue i dont see any point

it wont produce co if there are no flames at all

there are more things to consider then just cooking fat, like gas rate, incorrect injectors, incorrect fretts/burners, poor ventilation etc... etc...

If your doing testing of a gas appliance, you must do a gas rate or operating pressure or both where appropriate (Gas safety installation & use regs 26(9)). Gas rate is an absolute pain, so what I do is as follows: I have made up a fitting, using a gas jet soldered to an 8mm copper pipe. I unscrew one of the jets on the hot plate and screw in my adapted fitting. I connect my manometer to this and carry out the operating pressure. This works on most gas hobs and cooker I come across.

No need to gas rate a hobFlame picture is enough

Isnt it in 26/9 that every gas appliance you work on, you need to check gas rate?

Every appliance should have a means of isolating it, how do you test the pipework if you can't isolate an appliance? Especially if you're hunting a drop. And you need to record the make and model on the CP12 so most of the time you have to slide the oven out to read the data badge as most markings have rubbed off the top.
