gas cookers

am i allowed to fit my own gas cooker

You could try, though I hope you don't live near me!

i think there are new laws now regarding this and am sure you have to use a qualified tradesman but i could be wrong (i usually am!)lol

No ! It should be fitted by a CORGI registered installer,look in Yellow pages..its against the law and you will invalidate your guarantee!!

You can only disconnect it if it has a bayonet fitting as it is like undoing a light bulb. Hope this helps.

No you can't. Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use), Regulations 1998, legislation dealing with gas appliances and installations came into force (31 October 1994, amended in 1998).

By law, anyone carrying out work on gas appliances or fittings must be competent and registered with CORGI (Council for Registered Gas Installers).

Please don't even think of doing this. It shouldn't cost too much, but even if it does it's not worth risking your life for. A poorly connected cooker could be lethal. Look in Yellow Pages for a CORGI registered fitter.

As jannieannie said...if it's just a matter of connecting it to an existing fitting....which should be a bayonet fitting, it's just like changing a light bulb and can be done easily and legally.

Anything else....forget it

god dont do it how dangerous dont be so tight , get the professionals in

Don't be daft man - it's an easy job. Just turn off the electric in case of a stray spark.

Use candles instead, so you can see what you are doing.

NO. Once you have fitted it how are you going to test it to make sure there is not a fault with it.??? Just because it is brand new does not mean to say it has not suffered a knock or anything else and could be dangerous. And also it will have to be notified as a new installation anyways and only a CORGI man with a CCN1 & CKR1 training can do this.
