I found a property with Gas Hob and connected with flexi and flexible hose is connected like as '0'shape is it acceptable ?


AIUI, it's only acceptable if the hob manufacturer says so ...

I think its OK for existing installations, but not for new ones. I'm not Gas safe though.

The word "11.1.3 A gas hob shall be connected to the termination point by means of rigid pipework or, unless stated otherwise in the manufacturer?s instructions, a flexible connector and self-sealing plug device conforming to BS 669-1"

Note there was an old version that prohibited flexible piping.
