fitting an oven under work top

[skunkandgrish]

Hi All
I am fitting an oven under worktop and between to brick pillars so can't get behind the oven to plumb it in. Some one suggested you can get a flexible hose so you can slide the oven back into place.

Is this correct and where would I get one from.

To make things a little more complicated the set up is lpg. I have 10mm copper pipe going from a gas bottle through from outside and will need to get a reducer to fit the flexible hose, but I wanted to check if it is safe to have a flexible hose behind an oven and what sort of hose is safe to use.

Many thanks
Chris

You gas it up not plumb it in!!! SHeeeeeeeeeeeeesh!!! Get someone in who knows what they're doing is my advice :nono:

dangerous! people train hard and work hard to gain the experience to do jobs like the one you are wanting to carry out. If you have any sense you will think twice about messing with a gas pipe line especially one that carries LPG, you get that wrong and you and your house will be in a whole world of pain.

there are clearances from oven to worktop you have to know, you have to know how to do a tightness test, this is not a DIY job get someone in who is a qualified REGISTERED professional don't put your life or your familys at risk to save some cash

Garden hose is fine with LPG if you use jubilee clips*




*might not be true

get somebody who is qualified to work on LPG, LPG is more dangerous than Nat gas, the tightness test is different than nat gas, and if not installed right can have serious consequences, don't put people at risk to save money
