The appliance flexible connector should not
be subjected to undue forces either in
normal use or whilst connected or
disconnected;
- The socket which the plug of the
appliance flexible connector fits should
be permanently attached to a firmly fixed
gas installation pipe and positioned such
that the appliance flexible connector
hose hangs freely downwards (see fig.);
- The appliance flexible connector should
be positioned such that it will not suffer
mechanical damage, e.g. abrasion from
the surrounding kitchen furniture, which
may be moved in use such as a drawer
or door, or by being trapped by any
stability device.
The plug-in-connector should be
accessible for disconnection after
moving the appliance.
