Good evening Keeley. One is and one is not. You will need a gas engineer to fit the new hose. Hope this helps.

The elbow connection is what has been disconnected just wanted to know if it's self sealing until new cooker is installed by engineers.

Do you mean the bit attached to the gas pipe in the kitchen and not the hose?

The hose I have posted it was is attched to my cooker, it just pulled and twisted out of the wall. Tomorrow I have a gas safe person coming to install a new cooker however I wanted to make sure that's it's a self sealing pipe so it's no time leaking gas until the man turns up in morning. The end with the elbow was what was attached to the wall. Is this end self sealing

Only when the hose and the fitting attached to the gas pipe are together can you take a pic of the hose now and the pipe it attaches to?

You really should of left it for your gas safe engy to disconnect it

It should be ok but I've had a few that have leaked can you re connect it back up to the cooker ?

That’s is what I am thinking mate. But wanted to see as much as I could first.

The hose is attched to the cooker. The wall attachment is very close to wall to take picture. The cooker has been skipped as was broke.

If I put gorilla tape over end until morning would this help.

No tape won't do anything best turn your gas off for tonight

As I cannot see what you have I cannot really comment any further. As shaun has said previously Most of the time they seal perfectly well but I have had them leak before. The only thing I can suggest if you are not sure is turn this lever off next to your gas meter. But then it will turn the gas off to the whole house

Beat me to it whilst I was looking for a pic of the ECV.

Thanks you both have turned off lever to gas. Gas safe man coming at 8 to rectify issue.

C'mon chaps. Whythe dramatics?

You all know that the cooker hose is designed for ANYONE to disconnect, and even that leaving the valve uncapped permanently is allowed. The act if disconnection is this sense is NOT classed as "gaswork".

That said, it is always possible that any valve can pass, and the outlet shoud be checked with LDF. (in practice no DIYer will have proper LDF and will turn to Fairly Liquid. Obviously a non compliant product, but has been used for decades, even as a heating silencer) Turning of the gas at the meter is not a bad idea, assuming no one dies of freezing overnight.

Assuming the meter valve does not pass.

It only takes a minute leak to give a smell, so I would only turn off the gas if smell is noticed.
