Good habits for your LPG cylinder safety
Mar 06, 2021| Good habits for your safety
The place where you install your gas installation is very important. If the following precautions are taken, it will by itself be an insurance against any mishaps occurring in your kitchen.
Always keep the cylinders in a vertical position with the valve on top. If cylinder is placed in any other position, liquid LPG may gush out of the open valve creating a dangerous situation.
Cylinders must be installed at ground level and never below ground level or in cellars or basements etc.
Not more than two cylinders should be stored in a room. To keep two cylinders, the kitchen should have minimum floor area of 10 sq. meters.
If cylinders are placed in cupboards, these cupboards should be provided with ventilation openings both at floor level and at top level. A half gap should suffice.
Cylinders must not be installed in any position in which they may become overheated, e.g. alongside a sigree or any other heating appliance. If any heating appliance has to be used, it must be kept at above ground height and never on floor level.
Avoid storing combustible articles close to cylinder and LPG installation.
