LPG Gas Cylinders

For those without the space for a tank, our 4 x 47kg gas cylinders provide a compact alternative. When one pair is empty, the changeover valve automatically switches to the second pair. Your local Calor supplier delivers and connects fresh cylinders as required.

The gas cylinders can supply central heating systems of up to 30kW, including appliances such as cookers and fires. Again, your Calor area specialist will sort out the technical side for you.

Cylinders must be sited upright against an outside wall on a firm, level base (approximately 1800mm x 460mm x 50mm) in a well-ventilated location. Because LPG is heavier than air, cylinders must not be located in cellars, basements or sunken areas.

The cylinders must be a minimum of 1 metre horizontally, and 0.3 metres vertically, from doors, windows, ventilation ducts, flue terminals and all potential sources of ignition.

The cylinders must be a minimum of 2 metres from untrapped drains, unsealed gullies or cellar openings, unless separated by a 250mm high wall.

The cylinders must be a minimum of 3 metres from any corrosive, toxic or oxidising materials unless separated by a fire resistant barrier.

Main considerations are the safety of the location and easy access to permit cylinder replacement. Additionally, flammable material (such as grass, sheds and fences) must not be allowed near the gas cylinders. However, provided that free ventilation is not impaired around the cylinders, a nearby arrangement of flowers, shrubs or slatted screens may be acceptable.
