Just got back from a call out to a leaking hob that I finished fitting at 4 this afternoon. Fitted using the supplied fitting tested it up and all was fine. Had a call back to it at 5. Owner had lit the hob and it had gone with a bang. Told him to turn off the gas and went back round to it. Put a tightness test on and there was now a big drop. Checked under the hob and the connecting nut was only finger tight. Took it apart and the rubber washer, which was supplied, had deformed and gone up inside the pipe. I remade the connection using a fibre gas washer and it's all fine again. it wouldn't have been so bad if it had happened straight away but to do it after I had left is very dodgy.
I shall be complaining to B&Q and reporting it to gas safe on Monday.
the hob is a Cata GH60SS gas hob.
