Gas hob installation query?

[macka09]

I don’t normally fit hobs or do much gas install work but im installing a gas hob. Am I right in saying it’s just a gas rate of the appliance and check working pressures?

Are the clearances above and to the back and side only for flammable materials? What about a distance at the front of the work top?

You can fit hobs on cooker hoses manufacturer instructions must say it’s acceptable and the install meets the spec

I wish they hadn’t gone down that route as some manufacturers do and some manufacturers don’t

Does the click mean it’s working?

Depends what the MIs says. Ive got a Belling in my house that says it can be installed on a flexible connection. I still installed rigid pipework though.
