Hi

I am think of installling a new lpg 4 ring hob on my boat but does anyone know if it needs a special cut of or safety switch to enable it does not fail the boat safety scheme

Your help would be appreciated.

Cheers Mark

As it is new, it will most probably have a thermocouple on each burner. This is a device that cuts off the gas if the burner doesn't light. So when you light a burner, you have to depress the control knob for a few seconds to wait for the thermocouple to heat up in the flame so as the gas doesn't get shut off.

I believe that this is the only BSS requirement for a hob.
