CP12 on a gas hob

[moony]

No need to gas rate a hobFlame picture is enough

Oh and I've yet to see a fsd on a hob too, maybe I'm missing something?

Not according to the ACS centre I go to.

obviously gas rating it will tell you if its using the right amount of gas, but normally you can tell when the thing starts using too much gas by looking at the flame picture, it may only take 2 minutes to pull out a oven but you need a shower after :/

Yeah but I've been to leaks on an orange LPG hose on natural gas that had fallen off with no jubilee that was checked 3 months earlier.

what does that mean ? how about this, i did a cp12 and a month later the gas pipe under the floor was leaking, do i rip up floors everytime i do a cp12, no! so why should i start pulling ovens apart ? not to say a dont

I bet you that gas rate was through the roof!! :rofl: (tongue in cheek)

I've been to several explosion incidents, CO poisonings and house fires with the HSE, but who's braggin!!! Only ever gas rated the grille of an oven at a CO incident! Flame picture was as floppy as a grannies mammary gland .. lol

 

[mickie]

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

Flue Gas Analyser??

Always confuses me why a consumer would need a means of isolation for a gas hob !

And dont forget most fancy modern kitchen designers put a gas hob over a drawer. Most MI require a fireproof board fitting beneath the hob to protect contents of the drawer/ customers hands.

personally i think you would want to read the data badge on the appliance to check its heat input, it is correct for gas type, and ce marked. then you can gas rate it, simples. Most u gauge hoses dont fit over nipples very well so working pressure can be unreliable sometimes.

means of isolation is for engineer to perform work on appliance not for customer to turn off.
