Hi, I'm currently installing a new galley and was wondering if there's any reason I can't install a domestic hob and cooker running off the LPG gas, installed by a registered gas fitter of course. Thanks in advance for your reply's Markymark

I've been reading all the threads about gas on this forum, as my mind now turns to getting my hob and oven hooked up. My intention is to get hold of a single length of pipe, run it from lockers to appliances, all properly clipped up etc, then get someone to connect all the hoses, valves, regulators etc, and test and certify. As I understand it I will need :The correct regulator(s), bubble test, hose, bulkhead fitting(s) 2x13kg bottles. 3/8" or 1/2" annealed copper pipe to BS EN1057. Also isolator and hose for oven and a tee to the hob. (I'd like the hob done in pipe without hose as it is accessible). But I'm unclear as to the arrangement at the gas bottle end of things. I have 2 gas lockers (one port one starboard, astern). I don't know how they would both connect to the supply pipe. Or what happens with changeover valves etc? I saw that someone was able to calculate size of pipe and regulators required - well I have a hob with 1x3kw, 1x1.75kw, 1x1kw burners, and the oven is stated as 2.5kw oven, 2.3kw grill but 2.5kw total (I presume you can't oven and grill together though it is twin cavity). The length of run between the nearest locker and the appliances is approximately 10-12 metres. I'm hoping to run it a couple inches up from the floor, all the way through various areas to the kitchen. The hob comes with an lpg adapter nozzle and three lpg jets, the oven is a Belling made especially for LPG only. Just trying to figure it all out at this stage, get an idea of cost and what's involved before going ahead. Thanks for any info.
