Normal size for the pipe connected to it is 8mm, can't imagine it being anything bigger than that.

The manual (section 9) says the inlet is 1/8"BSP female and the metal pipe is normally 3/16" OD.

Take the brass fitting off the end and take it to a plumbing merchant and get them to see what fits. All you are missing is the nut and olive, which will be on the pipe that is missing. It will be 8mm compression, the above mentioned sizes are imperial measurements and you won't get them easily. If your not sure what your doing, get someone to do it for you. You don't want a gas leak, directly above the fridge burner.

Ah that's not your fridge, its not mine either

if you really are missing the whole pipe highlighted and you need to attach to the gas valve, then take the gas valve into the plumbing merchant and just see what fits

It looks like a union type rather than a nut and olive, so could be tricky
