Lpg supply to cooker!

[gassafe]

Gotta replace a regulator feeding domestic cooker in a house.

The current set up is just a lpg regulator onto orange hose (jubilee clipped) onto an adapter / 15mm copper with lever valve / test point.

Is this within regs? Looks a bit Mickey Mouse, Iv only ever used regulator & twin flex/pigtail hoses before? I thought this orange hose was for like caravans etc?

Yes it’s fine but I won’t install like that

Pigtail reg on the wall looks better and less to go wrong

Pigtail reg ........less to go wrong

How so, Shaun?

How so, Shaun?

Don’t like the way it looks also can put strain on the flexi tube seen many a one split connector end

I haven't done lpg since working with my last firm, but isn't that bottle supposed to be chained up?

Personaly I would not install it like that it Should be protected from sunlight and inclement weather secured back to the wall the supply hose needs to be changed every 5 years check the date printed on the hose. Kop
