LPG is kept as a liquid under pressure in specially designed cylinders.
Safe Storage
Store in a well ventilated place
Do not store in a cellar or in a closed area – the gas is heavier than air and will “flow” into low points and collect causing a flammable mixture.
Never store the cylinders near to a heat source or in direct sunlight.
Connecting Safely
Always use hose designed for use with LPG. The hose should have a maximum length of 2m with clamps at both ends. Hoses should be replaced every 2 years as they deteriorate over time.
When in use, all cylinders must be equipped with pressure regulators designed specifically for either propane or butane which well regulate the pressure when temperatures change. Use the correct regulator for the type of gas.
Always follow the instructions supplied when connecting the pressure regulator to the cylinder and do not open the cylinder valve or regulator tap until the pressure regulator is securely attached.
Never smoke while connecting the equipment and do not check for leaks with a flame.
Look at the washer of the pressure regulator or valve before connecting each new cylinder. If the rubber looks worn or damaged replace it or contact your supplier.
Using LPG Safely
Regularly check your hose for signs of damage or cracking.
Make sure the cylinder is upright .
When the appliance is not in use, turn off the valve or regulator tap.
Do not let children handle the cylinders or appliances.
Empty Cylinders
Turn off the taps of the connected appliance, then close the cylinder valve or regulator tap.
Always return your empty cylinders to your supplier.
