Proper Maintenance For LPG Gas Cylinders, Valves And Regulators

Typically, it's about gas fires, not actually explosions. If gas leaks can be avoided, fires which lead to explosions won't be possible. Major cause of fires and explosions, results from poorly maintained LPG gas cylinders. The real culprit is typically the LPG hose pipe or gas regulator. For gas regulators, however, Quick-On versions features a release valve and limit valve.

When using LPG gas cylinders, make sure that they are stored outdoor and far away from direct sunlight or dripping water, so to prevent rusting. For gas regulators, carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions for safety operation of heating and cooling equipment. For example, some appliance have specific fresh air supply or venting guidelines that may require keeping a door or window open. For a permanent use outdoor, the hose is installed with the regulator in a position protected from the weather, paying great attention to position of the vent hole.

Follow These Steps:

* Have gas regulator and hose disassembled. Clean and reinstall. Avoid that the hole on the cover (VENT) is obstructed or stopped. 

* If the gas regulator is not in use for long period make sure you disconnect gas regulator from the gas cylinder bottle valve and the connected appliance.

* Make sure you remove any seal cover from brand new gas regulators before fixing and installing to gas cylinders.

* Do not use sharp objects on valve outlet.

* Think of the age of your existing system, components, and therefore regular inspection and check up should be done from time to time.
