CP44 inspection checklist

A little preparation helps your CP44 inspection go smoothly and reduces the chance of a fail.

What the engineer checks

• All gas appliances: griddles, fryers, ovens, hobs and pizza ovens
• LPG cylinders, regulators and hoses, including hose age and condition
• Pipework and gas tightness
• Ventilation in the unit
• Flame failure devices
• Cylinder storage, which should be secure, upright and ventilated

How to prepare

• Have at least one connected cylinder with gas in it
• Make sure the engineer can reach every appliance and the cylinder locker
• Check your hoses for cracks and their date marks
• Clean grease from appliances and vents
• Have your previous CP44 to hand, if you have one

Common reasons for a fail

The most common issues are old or damaged hoses, missing flame failure devices, poor ventilation and cylinders stored inside the unit without proper ventilation.
