    Hi,


    I'm replacing my kitchen worktop, one section of which has an integrated gas hob which will obviously need to be disconnected/reconnected. I'm doing the work myself and wanted to check about the RGII regulations and whether I need to get someone out do to this. I read somewhere on boards that if the connection has a certain type of valve (bayonet?) that you can do this yourself without need for a gas installer, I've attached a pic of the valve if anyone can enlighten me?

    That's not a bayonet valve ( they safely plug in and out like a lightbulb)
    Legally you need a RGII person.
