Further to this, - and a teensy bit OT - anyone have any knowledge of gas
h=
ob pipe connectors?

I have bought an Ikea domino 2 burner gas hob. It comes with a threaded
mal=
e connector poking out the bottom... there is *absolutely no* data
provided=
in the documentation regarding the size or thread pitch of this connector.=
.. - is that because it's standardised?

It comes with no further connection hardware, so I know I will need to
sour=
ce a female threaded elbow to a flexible hose tail... something like this:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Connector-Thread-Fitting-Caravan-Barbeque/dp/B01DS=
2NI5U/ref=3Dsr_1_43?ie=3DUTF8&qid=3D1488187518&sr=3D8-43&keywords=3Dgas+pip=
e+connector

but I need to determine the correct:
scale - metric or imperial
size - =BD"?  20mm?
thread pitch
of the brass threaded connector on the hob...

Cheers

Paul G.

Subject: [ukha_d] Gas leak sensor recommendation




Hi all.

I'm in the process of installing a gas cooking hob. As I'm in Norway,
where=
mains gas is non existent, gas appliances will always be run from bottled =
gas. Before I get too far into it, I'd like to spec a gas sensor that I
can=
install in the kitchen near to the gas bottle. (at the moment, I'm envisag=
ing it will live in the cupboard under the sink, where it is an easy route
=
for the gas pipe to run to the hob - unless I discover some regulations
tha=
t demand otherwise).

There are plenty of standalone detectors on Amazon, but what I'd prefer is
=
a gas sensor I can connect to my alarm panel (Comfort) - then I can be
noti=
fied by email, SMS, phone etc. in the event of a gas leak alarm when I'm
no=
t there. - although in the first instance, I guess a standalone would do
(b=
etter that than nothing).

Does anyone have any experience of gas leak sensors for connection to an
al=
arm panel? - any recommendations?

FYI the gas will be either propane or butane - the hob supports both, and
I=
haven't decided which I will set it for yet - I'm not aware of any reason =
for choosing one over the other, so unless one presents itself, I'll just
g=
o with whichever is easiest (or cheapest) to source in my area.

Cheers

Paul G.
