What stop end to use on a cooker hose connection?

Anonymous user 03/03/2024 - 3.12 PM

Hi guys I have a cooker connected to the gas pipe with a standard cooker bayonet hose. We are about to fit a new kitchen and once fitted we will replace this old gas cooker with a gas hob (which will be fitted by a Corgi). Can anyone tell me what to use to cap off the pipe temporarily in order to remove the old cooker while we fit the new kitchen? Screwfix or Toolstation part number would be ideal. Many thanks You mean disconnecting an old cooker and capping off the supply pipe with an appropriate nut is illegal and requires a GS Engineer?

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Suggest you contact your local gas safe engineer to carry out this minor works. What you propose is ILEGAL. Anyone who is not a qualified gas engineer who breaks in to a gas way as committed an offence, do yourself and your neighbours a favour and phone a professional how ever small this job may seem!
