Bayonet and micro-point hoses?

Mar 04, 2011 3 Replies

I've juts picked up a new gas cooker to replace the installed electric one. I've got a couple of gas couplings in my van, but no hose, so went and bought a bayonet hose. Anyway, it appears there are 2 kinds of hose, normal bayonet and micropoint. And of course, the fittings I have are micropoint. Apart from the physical size of the connectors, what is the difference between the 2? The normal bayonet is larger, so is that used for bigger appliances?



Ta Alan.


Isn't it just that the micropoint is newer, as well as smaller, but still big enough for a gas cooker?

Since you're a registered installer and not a cowboy why don't you just ring up Gas Safe Register technical help line?

I'm not a registered installer, and dont intend to fit it myself, hence the query.
