ENCLOSURES FOR LP GAS SUPPLY SYSTEMS
WARNING! During the inial purging and subsequent lighngs, NEVER allow gas valve to remain in
the “Open” posion without rst placing and igning the restarter.
If you build an enclosure for an LP gas cylinder, follow these recommended specicaons. You must also
follow local codes.
• Enclosures for LP gas supply cylinders shall be venlated by openings at the level of the cylinder valve and
at oor level. The eecveness of the opening(s) for purposes of venlaon shall be determined with the
LP gas supply cylinder(s) in place. This shall be accomplished by one of the following:
One side of the enclosure shall be completely open;
OR
For an enclosure having four sides, a top and boom:
a) At least two venlaon openings at cylinder valve level shall be provided in the side wall, equally sized,
spaced at 180 degrees (3.14 rad), and unobstructed. Each opening shall have a total free area of not less than
½ square inch per pound (3.2 sq. cm/kg) of stored fuel capacity and not less than a total free area of 10 square
inches (64.5 sq. cm).
b) Venlaon opening(s) shall be provided at oor level and shall have a total free area of not less than ½ inch
per pound (3.2 sq. cm/kg) of stored fuel capacity and not less than a total free area of 10 square inches
(64.5 sq. cm). If venlaon openings at oor level are in a side wall, there shall be at least two openings. The
boom of the openings shall be at oor level and the upper edge no more than 5 inches (127mm) above the
oor. The openings shall be equally sized, spaced at 180 degrees (3.14 rad) and unobstructed.
c) Every opening shall have minimum dimensions so as to permit the entrance of a 1/8 inch (3.2mm) diameter
rod.
• Cylinder valves shall be readily accessible for hand operaon. A door on the enclosure to gain access to
the cylinder valve is acceptable, provided it is
non-locking and can be opened without the
use of tools.
• There shall be a minimum clearance of 2 inches
(50.8mm) between the lower surface of the
oor of the LP gas supply cylinder enclosure
and the ground.
• The design of the enclosure shall be such
that (1) the LP gas supply cylinder(s) can be
connected, disconnected and the connecons
inspected and tested outside the cylinder enclosure; and (2) those connecons which could be disturbed
when installing the cylinder(s) in the enclosure can be leak tested inside the enclosure.
• Be certain to mount or set the LP gas cylinder on a at surface and restrain it to prevent it from pping.
• Purge the gas supply line of any trapped air prior to the rst ring of the unit.
