I did a really quick Google for ‘black lpg hob’ and had a bunch of hits. Anything specific you need? This one’s a sensible price: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00TIMVJRO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_7iVoFbMKZ1S3Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracy D'arth Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 You reduce the hob connection down to suit the gas pipe, standard arrangement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bollony, the pressure at the hob depends on the pressure regulator on the bottle and the proper size of pipe. The pressure using bottled gas is higher than natural gas in a house so the pipe can be smaller. I don't think your boat builder understands gas, is he a Gas Safe fitter with the correct LPG for boats card? He should be to be doing any gas work.

If you buy a natural gas appliance you need the correct smaller jets for every burner to convert it to LPG at a higher pressure and calorific value. So ensure the appliance is convertible and has the correct bits with it before you buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WotEver Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 @helen1 what other gas appliances will be fed by this 10mm pipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bod Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 All boat gas appliances must have Flame Failure devices fitted. Should the flame be blown out the gas is automatically cut off. This will be checked on the BSS safety check, missing or non working FFd's will be a failure. Not all domestic appliances have these fitted, so be careful when buying. Bod.

I’ve not seen a domestic appliance without ffd for years. This could be because they’re compulsory in flats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There might be the odd old-design thing out there gathering dust in some warehouse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
