Hi all, this is for the gas plumbers.

I WILL NOT be doing this connection myself, but I can't help but ask.

I am installing a new kitchen, including a new 900mm Ilve Nostalgie all gas stove.

The thing weighs a ton and I will be making a steel base frame on castors so we can move it in and out for cleaning. I know, I know, I am a bit of a clean freak and a lot of an over planner.

My question is, what options are there for the gas connection to enable the unit to be moved a metre or so to allow me to get behind it to clean the walls and floor.

Can it be connected with a bayonet like the gas heater has or is there a long flexy that can be used, is there another way or is it not allowed to have any flexible hose on this type of appliance?

The gas supply will come through the floor if that makes any difference and the connection is on the rear left of the unit.

I just want to be clear on my options before speaking to the plumber, he is a nice guy but has some strange ways of doing things sometimes, although he has liked my suggestions in the past.
