Can an electric hob be installed above a gas meter that is in a base unit?
Anonymous user 06/03/2024 - 2.31 PM
The gas meter will be housed in a base unit - can an electric hob be safely installed above this? There will be a worktop a minimum of 20mm in a 1000 unit wide unit
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

I don’t think so as per building regulations,
Where there is a gap between pipes and wires less then 25 mm we are not allowed to install anything accordingly,
??? Then the gas meter to close,
If in a situation of gas leak would be at high risk of a fire,
You will need an alternative option to install a an induction hob or call the supplier to relocate the gas meter!!!!
Hopefully that helps:
