LPG Rangmaster cooker

[Harvest Fields]

Morning all. I have a custard that wants one of these disconnected. I know I cannot do it as I’m only g20 and not LPG. My question is this.
Can he disconnect himself if on a bayonet fitting? Like with G20.

Maybe a silly question but never been asked before.

Thanks in advance?

If it's staying out it would be better being plugged permanent.
Is he leaving it out?

Moving house. I would plug as standard on G20. Just need to know so I can reply to him. (He is also a mate)

Yes he can disconnect it himself but those bayonets are only really meant for cleaning behind cooker etc.

Personally, I would plug it for him and test it.
I am only speaking for myself there though.

See. I find that frustrating. He can disconnect it. But me, who would actually disconnect and cap it cannot because I am not LPG. (So annoying).

Appreciate your advice mate. That’s not me though. I do everything by the book.

So do I.
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't go and carry out an LPG installation at the moment without the ticket but something like that I probably would look at it that it would be safer than leaving it on a bayonet.

I did have LPG and still hold everything else including ticket that covers LPG Commercial pipework.
I was only speaking for myself in my position.

The right way is for him to pay an LPG person to come and cap it.

Cheers mate. Was just double checking. No offence intended on my post above.

None taken!
I know exactly what you mean. I am worlds worst for sticking to the rules. I like to sleep at night. Like a baby.

Bes sell capping plugs that go into the fitting good way to get around it

Will have a look.

Surely that would only work if a cooker was going straight back in?

Nope it's an approved cap

Not 100% sure about LPG, but for Nat Gas, they are considered suitable for a permanent disconnection. Rightly or wrongly.

As you will no doubt know Firemant, there are lots of things considered to be OK by the 'powers that be' but are actually a stupid idea when a bit of thought and common sense is applied.
I can obviously only speak for myself here but a spring loaded valve is not good enough for permanent disconnection. What other people do is entirely up to them of course.
I have seen a number of those leak whilst disconnected.

Fully agree Last. But this is a 1 out 1 in next day on a house move. However. I wouldn’t do it.

I would still cap it.
If it's capped, it is completed.
If someone else comes along after, they can do what they like.
I wouldn't leave it ready for someone to 'plug in' a Gas appliance.
They should have their own appliance fitted and commissioned in the new premises by a registered installer.
That way, should there be any leaks on their appliance or faults with it, then the registered installer will find them.
It also ensures that the new people don't bring a Natural Gas appliance and plug that in by accident.
It's safer to leave it so that nothing has anything to do with you or how you left it, in any way whatsoever.
In my opinion.

You know I agreed with your statement above right? I am not touching it.

 

[king of pipes]

Get it disconnected and plug of with one off these as Shaun said . Kop

 

[Harvest Fields]

I still will not touch it mate. I’m not LPG. I have passed Shaun’s idea on.

Yes. I know you did. I have caught the ferry.
