Ive been told before by a few plumbers in a kitchen the socket for the ignition on the gas hob cant be switched it has to be unswitched cause of the arc in the switch this will be a recomendation from the gas reg not our bible
 
The fact that u probably have to remove the oven to get at the socket in the first place to switch it off is lost in the big space between their lugs.who makes this cack up?
 
we normally put the supply under the hob cause the flex that comes with the hobs (i have shoe laces longer)they say if a gas leak the switch can ignite it

so, if there's a gas leak, the first thing to do is get under the hod and merrily flick the socket switch on and off. bout right for wet-heads.

That's why I would install an unswitched socket rather than a switched one - you don't want to put the oven in then go to test the hob and realise you forgot to turn the switch on so you have to take the oven out again.
This idea of a switched socket blowing the place up sounds a little dubious to me.
Bloody plumbers. :rolleyes:
 
It will soon be Intrinsically safe outlets in all dwellings and all those gas meters that are under the stairs where there's a light,they had better be moved

Even as a kid I was taught that if you smell gas, open all the windows, get out and call the gas man. Under no circumstances touch any electrickery stuff.

I keep forgetting this world is full of stupid people... :)
 
The definition of a plumber is a worker of lead. I thought it was the lead that made them doolally but most plumbers would not know what to do with lead if it got up and bit them.

I would let them just get on with putting their plastic pipes together with push fit connectors that my 5 year old niece could do in her sleep!

Brain dead the lot of them.
