fiaraziqbal Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Good afternoon, I have purchased a LPG rangemaster (used). As much as I am used to attaching LPG cylinders to an appliance, I am a little uncertain as to the connection type on the end of the appliance pipe. This seems as if a simple pipe and jubilee fitting would not be secure. I am looking to get a gas engineer in but want to be clear and.moreover I am enjoying the learning process.

Mr Punter Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 The Rangemasters I have fitted all came with a bayonet type connector for the gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 That looks like the previous owners butchered flexi pipe. As above, at the stove end, you should find a bayonet fitting. Start from there with a new hose set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 So you should have the bayonet hose running to a proper bayonet connector that will have a 1/2” threaded connection. This goes to a 15mm solder connection and 15mm copper through the wall, then to a regulator. Reg then connects by flexible to the bottles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I think they have used several different connection methods over the years. Our 13 year old Britania Rangemaster dual fuel (lpg hob, electric oven) has a "rigid" copper gas pipe coming out of the floor into the gas hob. Makes it difficult to pull out for repairs. Has to be moved a bit then spanners used down the back to disconnect the gas pipe and allow further movement. @fiaraziqbal Looks like the previous owner just cut the solid pipe. I would buy a new flexible pipe to bayonet to make servicing easier. The installation manual for some Rangemasters are online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
