Jusoda Kid 1 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 The last time i fitted one it was just a 'push and turn' connection then you wave a naked flame in front of it to make sure it's sealed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know its mean and petty but the thought of paying some bastard a ridiculous amout to do something that takes five minutes is really pissing me off.

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 We bought a second hand one and the bloke who delivered it wasn't CORGI registered. He agreed to fix it up with the words 'You didn't see me do this' and touch wood we've had no mass explosions. You should really get a CORGI registered plumber in to do it though.

Toonraider 0 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Talking about Gas...hubby is seriously thinking about converting our van over to run on gas, as we do so many miles racing it would work out much cheaper for us. Although he assures me this is safe, i cant stop worrying about it I just dont like the thought of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasepud 59 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 I reckon both Spongebob and Toonraider should invest in a few of these... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W 0 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 If you DIY it and something goes wrong the insurance company won't pay you for any damage, the law will do you and you will be sued shitless by others Gas is something you shouldn't f*** about with - it can kill you and your family very very easily if you get it wrong (remember all those dodgy gas heaters in Spain?). Just pay the money FFS - they have the kit to do it right AND check its OK afterwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be pretty pissed off if my neighbour blew up my house because they were too tight to get a Corgi registered fitter in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusoda Kid 1 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 I wasn't kidding in my first post about it being a 'push and turn fitting. As long as it's a new cooker and there is no damage to the hose there shouldn't be a problem with doing it yourself. If your not sure just do it then ring the gas board and tell them you can smell gas, they'll check it for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Carr's Gloves 3285 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 As a trainee plumber I agree with Rob. If you do it and something goes wrong you are deeper in the sh*t than you could possibly imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
