Be sure that the area where you store your gas cylinders, whether it’s a cage, store, or even a cellar, is cool, dry, and well-ventilated. 

 

2. Gas cylinders should be stored upright

 

 

The following tips will help you safely handle your gas cylinder at home:

  • Only purchase your LPG from authorised gas distributors 
  • Arrange for your gas supplier  to perform a 5-point safety check on your LPG system at least once every year. This safety check  includes the hose, regulator, hose clips, cylinder and joints/connections.
  • Gas cylinders should always be kept upright and never horizontal.
  • Gas cylinders should be kept away from open flames, heat sources and electrical outlets.
  • When changing the gas cylinder, ensure no naked flame is present.
  • A maximum of two cylinders can be stored in the home. Cylinders should be stored upright in a ventilated area.
  • Regulators/hoses should be replaced by the expiry date or when damaged due to wear and tear.
