I am installing a gas hob and need to make a connection to an existing gas copper gas pipe. Can I use a compression fitting to extend the pipe to the hob, I was also going to puy a gas shut off tap in line as well.The pipe pipe will be hidden behind a cooker, Can I use compression fittings behind an appliance where access would not normally be made or do I need to make a soldered connection first and extend the pipe to the hob. I will of course use gas jointing compound, what do you think about using gas PTFE tape on the thread as well?
Thanks
