Flexible hose for gas cooker

Our old cooker is a New World 55HLG and after many years of great service it's time to get rid.



I'll not bore you with details but for various reasons we've picked up a secondhand but pristine New World 55THLG to replace it, so exact same make and model coming out and going in.



Unfortunately the new one doesn't have a flexible hose fitted so being as the old one is perfectly fine I'm thinking it should be alright to swap it to the new cooker.



The wall end is a bayonet fitting so no problem there but, is it just a case of screwing the hose 'as is' into the cooker end or is there some special gobbo/gunge/tape that has to be applied to the threads first?


The thicker PTFE tape for gas comes in a yellow rather than white reel. Don't tell anyone I said so.

It used to be white, like the normal stuff. when was this changed ?.

the tape is white, it's the reel that's yellow.
