Built In Oven

TheBoffin

Had to replace a built in fan oven today at home.

I asked in the shop about size and was informed that all built-in ovens are standard size, so I purchased the same make as my old oven which looks similar to the one i had.

Got it home, wired it up, and went to slide it in and noticed its short of about 1/4 inch from being fully flush with the frame.

When I looked into it further it would appear that the gas pipe going to the hob is in the way.

The pipe itself seems to be reasonably flexible, however there is a plastic trunk that the pipe is cased in that is not so flexible.

The ovens are the same dimensions but the old one had an indentation on the back where the pipe is. however the new oven doesnt have the same indentation in the same spot.

Any ideas who I should get to have a look at it, Im not sure if its a plumber or bord gais i need.??

Its just litterally another quarter inch more give and im sorted

Anyone on here in the Waterford area that is qualified to do this work ?? Id be happy to pay for it.

Thanks

If you have been forcing the oven back against the pipe you need to be sure now that its not leaking. Its a simple fix to move pipe fitting but will require a safety certificate.

Cheers, I got it sorted today. Had the boiler service person pop out and he was done in 10 mins. Seemed like a simple job and he did what I would have done but again these things are best left to pro's

Thanks for the reply.

Hopefully your pro put a test on that would take 10min and gave you a Cert.
