Apologies gbgas001. I have a hard copy of BS6172 that states the above quote. It appears to have been abbreviated. Going in bin now. I looked at my PDF copy which states the info bellow in fullYou are not correct as per BS6172. "unless stated otherwise in MI's, a gas hob shall de connected by a rigid, fixed connection."
think i,ll just stick to what i no,and have been taught and thats rigid with gas iso,when on gas course we were also told if cooker is gas and not going to be moved that has to be rigid aswell
so i asked how do you get to it and answer was, connect it by were kick boards are
by flexi do you mean a braided "plumbing" flexi? if so you are all correct, if by flexi you mean a bayonet fitting and hose, they are allowed unless the manufacturer expressely says must be fitted with rigid pipework, however a bayonet hose has a heat limit of about 70 degrees C so if it is behind an electric oven care needs to be taken to ensure the position of the hose isnt subjected to heat above this, however because im saying it is ok in some situations thats not to say i agree, it is laziness of the highest order, and a properly fitted copper supply means the oven fits in no problem, i used to do loads of kitchens as homers and we used to go on a friday night and strip everything out, on checking the MI for the hob and if it was allowed i would rig up the new hob onto a frame and use the cooker hose and bayonet to connect it to leave them the use of the hob overnight, temp work like that i was happy with but never agree it is a finished job,

Keep it cival lads.. i am watching this..
perfectly acceptable to connect hob with flexi as long as confrms to mi and doesnt come into contact with excessive heat from oven below and complies with regs regard use of flexible hoses.......ps have allways found kirkgas spot on with his advice
