How to disconnect a gas cooker

Question

Can I disconnect a gas cooker myself or does it need a gas engineer? It looks like it’s just one connection at the back, but I don’t want to do anything dodgy or end up with a gas leak because I assumed it was simple.

Rashad · Answer

Hi no you need gas safe engineer to do this 
If you do it could be gas leak and you can't check it

James · Answer

Technically you can if it’s a bayonet fittting , so push and twist type however sometimes they can stick if grease or other contaminants have got inside which is why it’s good to have a safety check after .

Leslie · Answer

No ideal situation would get aqualified engineer if its a bayonet type there could be a potential leak  after dissconection better to be safe than sorry

Petros · Answer

You can if it is a bayonet fitting, you push the hose towards the fitting and twist then pull the hose away from the fitting while still holding in the twisted position. Having said that, it is advisable to test to make sure there is no gas leak, which requires a gas safe engineer.

Hi yes your allowed to disconnect from bayonet connection, you need to push it and turn it,
However sometimes they can leak then you have to turn your gas off from the mains and call a gas engineer.
I hope this helps

You have to use a gas engineer to disconnect the cooker. The gas car has to be tested after the cooker has been removed to ensure there are no gas leaks.

Unfortunately, I've come across customs that I've tried to do themselves and nearly blow themselves up

Please use a Gas Safe registered engineer

If it's from the bayonnet connection, you can disconnect it as it is self sealing but sometimes they can fail so would recommend testing for leaks before leaving it disconnected as there were any damages caused by this, you would be held liable.

Depend, which type of gas cookers you have if you have freestanding gas cooker very straightforward. Remove the peanut and disconnect the gas cooker.

Michael · Answer

Officially you should notdisconnect as there may be let by. I would use a registered gas safe engineer. If you do enclined to do so it is at your own risk and if anything happened you would be liable. 😁
