Legal advice :

Be careful, white flexible pipes with hose connection used for gas cookers are forbidden – change them with gas flexible pipes to be screwed, which is more secure.

For maximum of safety, the gas flexible pipe must be installed with a self-closing integrated tap, since 1st July 1997.
