My much loved go to gas stove that has given me many years of faultless service ( at least 30 years with me and then several years with somebody else ) has finally had a “ hiccup “ ( it must have blooming well  heard me saying how good it was ). The o ring and the orange pipe connecting stove to valve need.  replacing . A quick google has given me the o ring number but I can’t find anything about the fuel pipe ?

My stove has BS3212/2/4 printed on the flexible pipe, and the brass pipe looks about 4.8mm external diameter. BS3212 is the 1991 standard for marine gas pipe.

I think the hose may be this  https://thegascentre.co.uk/4.8mm-high-pressure-gas-hose

Add a jubilee clip at each end to hold it tightly in place.

What size is the O ring ?

In reply to mike123: anybody reading this thread : if / when the o rings arrive I should have a few spares . 

In reply to mike123:

Thank you for your helpful offer.... I think I have some already (but am away so can't check) as I replaced my O ring a few years ago.

I used a cocktail stick to bed it in (less likely to do damage than a metal proder).
