Introduction
Flammable gases Gases in cylinders are often
stored at very high pressures, and so their
uncontrolled release can be physically
dangerous. A small amount of released gas can
fill a large area with a potentially explosive
mixture ,so it is very important to play safe
and stay safe.
Connection
If you are connecting a cylinder ensure you
carry out a soapy water leak test of all joints . If
a leak is present , the soapy water will produce
bubbles indicating the location of the leak. If a
leak is detected , you may need to disconnect
the joint and clean the mating surfaces then re-
connect and re-check for leaks again.
User Safety Guidelines
 All cylinders must be handled with care.
 Cylinders must never be laid down . always
keep cylinders upright. NB: ( it also applies
to when transporting).
 Do not drop cylinders on/in hard surfaces
carelessly.
 Cylinders must be kept away from intensive
heat , sources of ignition or naked flame.
User Safety Guidelines
 Periodically check connections for leaks at
the appliance , hose , regulator and cylinder
with soapy water . if there is a leak
replacement must be done Immediately.
 The regulator must be turn off position when
not in use.
 Users must familiarise themselves with the
odour of the LPG to assist them in the early
detection of leaks.
User Safety Guidelines
 Never use a matches or flame when checking
for leaks.
 If a leak from the cylinder valve is detected ,
move the cylinder to a safe area at least
20metres from any source ignition until
empty.
 Ensure that gas appliances are only operated
in adequately ventilated spaces and clean at
all times to prevent rust.
User Safety Guidelines
 Change connection hose every one (1) year
at most.
 Should there be a fire , use a dry chemical
fire extinguisher as these are suitable to
extinguish LPG fires.
 In the event of a fire if safe to do so ,
immediately close the cylinder valve.
User Safety Guidelines
 Do not store cylinders in confined spaces.
 Do not store cylinders near combustible
materials or flammable liquids.
 In the event of fire an LPG cylinder should be
removed from the heat source . if this is not
possible, keep the cylinder cool by spraying
water /sand on it . if the fire is intense evacuate
the area and alert the emergency service.
