Removing a Gas grill

[Trotter]

I’m taking out the useless gas grill from my Adria Twin., and replacing it with a microwave oven.
Obviously I’ll turn off the gas tap. But I reckon it will need to be capped off. Any idea what size I’d need to buy?

Just bend the pipe over squeeze it with a pair of pliers and a bit of gaffer tape
Seriously thou the gas oven in my Globecar is 6 mm I’ve just moved the pipe to allow more room in the locker under the oven so replaced a section of pipe, I collared a British Gas engineer and gave him a tenner for the pipe and fittings , have a look down your road there might be one doing a job

I would have thought it had a manifold to turn off that pipe some where ?

Just leave it open, perhaps squeeze the end so it's flattish and then if you need to toast anything all you need is a match a pair of thick gloves and eye protection, voilà toated bread with toasted Trotter.

When I capped off my fridge pipe, I found B&Q has just the right size (8mm in my case IIRC). Just mentioning this as B&Qs are usually a lot easier to find than gas pipe fitters or suppliers. (think the cap cost a quid?)

8 mm copper fittings are able to be bought in just about any plumbers shop or large store that carries plumbing fittings.
Or toolstation

I like the thought Lee but what planet are you on

You could always come & see me when I’m back del got quite a few 8 m fittings & pipe I could always make a proper capped off pipe or in my case I took the tee piece out & replaced with a coupler

When you get older you sometimes need the live life on the edge.

Take the pipe out back to the manifold.

Yes there is Jeff. It’s just before where the cap will go

Maybe we can arrange something. Either I’ll come up to you, or see you at Hereford? You’re only in the next county.

I took the oven out of ours useless piece of junk. Hotter on the outside than the inside. Fitted a drawer instead and bought a Romoska which will run off our 600w inverter if we need it.

You can remove all the pipe from the manifold. And use a stop end insert .inside the manifold it’s a tiny flat washer and you use the nut off of the pipe you have removed .

This is my setup
