thanks for link ..

did you see this post on the DIY forum ..

Also installed my own lpg gas cooker and would be the first to admit Im not competent but hey ho no can stop me. I used 10mm soft drawn copper for the 10m pipe run to the gas bottle and connected inside the house using some rubber hose I had lying around and stuck this over the end of the copper.
Works fine and cost me nothing as the bits were lying around to hand

Looks scary to me....oh: i do admit that I had a huge fallout with the company that supplied my new home cooker. I fitted it myself, did all the checks necessary, and after a few years mentioned it to a gas fitter who was in checking for a leak and he checked it and found no problem....lol....saved me a fortune.

you will need an lpg cooker hose(not a natural gas one)
think they have a red band on them
unless you fit it rigid (copper or iron pipe)

Sorry but you can`t fit a cooker on ridgid pipe it has to be on a flexible hose with a bayonet also yes it has to have the red band on it to identify it as LPG, and a stabilizing chain.
