Hi,read the recent threads, and appreciated most of the stuff about gasfitting and competence.What I THINK I understand is that you can connect a free standing gascooker yourself with minimum risk if the cooker comes pre-fitted with ahose with a bayonet fitting, and your fixed gas supply has anequivalent bayonet fitting.However, I also picked up suggestions that the gas cookers may now comewithout the fitting hose, to try and force the customer to have thecooker fitted by a Corgi person.So; do cookers normally come with the bayonet fitting?This could be a significant factor; I am looking for a temporary freestanding cooker for the next six months.I have both electric and gas cooker points in the kitchen.I would prefer gas.However if it is going to cost me =A340-=A360 extra to have the gascooker fitted then this may force me to go for electric.CheersDave RP=2ES. is there a way to hide your email address when posting via GoogleGroups? The one I have used is SPAMmed to death anyway, but you need avalid email address to confirm subscription.

Would cost for electric too (part P).

Free standing gas cookers - do they come with connectors?

I am surprised that a new cooker is supplied with a pre-installed gas hose. The hose is missing not to "force" you to employ a registered installer but to ensure that the process of installation will contain 'gas work', as defined by the the gas regs.

That made me laugh! 'Proper' and 'IE' in the same sentence.

You must be very easy to please. I don't imagine mine cost more than about 20p to make.
