Gas hob clearance

[Rab0301]

Hi, I was asked to install a gas hob today, the manufacturers inst recommend 300mm to any combustable material at side of hob, the clearance I have is 60mm as there is a tall unit at the side, there is going to be a toughened glass splashback behind the hob and kitchen fitter insists he will continue this round and put toughened glass on the side of tall unit. What do you guys think? Would This be a ok installation??

Hi Reg,

I would have thought so.

In General
Does this installation comply or not with the Gas Regs or MI's.
With Gas regs, there are not too many grey areas..either it does or it doesn't

I do not think it complies, as the first post says the Mi's require 300mm. I do not think there are grey area's. Primarily you install to the Mi's and if the Mi's are not specific you follow the BS's (British Standards)
