LPG tanks, bottle systems and supply pipelines

An LPG boiler needs more than the appliance itself. The property also requires a suitable storage arrangement and correctly designed supply pipework between the LPG source and the appliance.

Bulk LPG tanks

A bulk tank can suit properties with significant LPG demand. The tank location, access, supplier requirements and route of the supply pipeline all need to be considered before installation.

Bottle and cylinder systems

Some properties use bottle or cylinder arrangements rather than a bulk tank. Suitability depends on the appliance demand, site layout and the overall LPG installation.

Supply pipelines

The pipework from storage to appliance is part of the gas installation and needs to be correctly sized, routed and installed for the intended load and site conditions.

Plan the storage and boiler together

When converting or upgrading an off-grid property, it is useful to consider the boiler, LPG storage and supply pipeline at the same time so the system is designed as a complete installation.
