Belling gas inlet connector elbows
Date issued: 20 June 2023

This Safety Alert provides guidance to Gas Safe registered businesses/engineers about a product safety concern related to gas hob inlet connector elbows installed in holiday caravans, lodges and residential park homes.

Introduction

Gas Safe Register has been advised by the manufacturer of an issue regarding gas inlet connector elbows fitted to some Belling gas hobs manufactured after May 2019. This issue concerns only the models detailed in the table below installed in holiday caravans, lodges and residential park homes.


Safety concern

Belling has identified a potential issue with the silver gas inlet elbow connector on some gas hobs breaking when installed in holiday caravans, lodges and park homes. If the inlet elbow is as shown in Figure 1 (below), the elbow must be replaced.


Corrective actions

To eliminate this issue, the silver gas connector (if as described previously) must be changed as outlined as below. This can be either another elbow or a straight coupling, depending on the pipe configuration.

GDHA has a limited number of suitable connector fittings available that can be supplied.

Please contact Belling on 0343 212 1088 or by email at contactus@belling.com, quoting part number 082671464. Further details on how to carry out this work can be found in GDHA Technical Bulletin TB 451.
