Min distance between gas hob and a side wall (no wall cabinets)?

Huw Buckley

Hi guys,


How much space would you leave between a 5 burner gas hob (Neff 70cm one) and a side wall? There won't be any wall cabinets round there, just a tiled or glass splashback wall on brick and plaster.

    Hello Huw,

    We usually recommend that a minimum set back distance of 30mm between the installed panel and the edge of the cooktop is adhered to.


    We hope that helps with your query!

    I don't know if there is an 'official' required distance but I would want to leave enough so you can turn a pan handle and have clearance without hitting the wall. Space to put a pan down would also be good and far enough so you're not bumping your elbow when cooking I guess!

    Just had a quick look on the neff website installation download and for a 700 gas hob it says a minimum of 150mm is required between the cutout and a side wall, for a 700 hob the cut out is only 560mm so the hob is wider by 70mm each side, this leaves an 80mm gap between the hob top and a wall. But as stated above, having room for pan handles and space to put a pan down is a good idea. Best to look up the installation instructions for your hob model and see what it says or have a word with a gas safe engineer as you will need one to connect the hob safely.
