gas hob clearance

[Keefy]

That’s not gonna work! How would you make 50mm clearance around a hob!? The hob simply will go through the hole! There’s a hob and there’s a free-standing cooker

I know that but if it was mentioning 50mm either side of the hob without being able to see the image in question I thought it must be referring to a free standing cooker.

It doesn't matter if its a hob or a slot in cooker ( as long as the cooker doesn't have the high level grill, as there is the 150 mm either side to contend with if the units are lower than the grill there is a chance of the grill setting fire to them so there needs to be the 150mm either side)
So either a hob or slot in cooker needs to have the height of the wall units taken into consideration when determining the vertical line of the edge of the wall unit to the hot plate
The diagram in the TB is fairly clear to me
