Cylinders & Installations
LPG cylinders and Installations
Due to LPG’s physical characteristics, it needs to be stored in a high-pressure environment. This can be attained by bottles (cylinders) or bulk tanks where particularly large quantities of LPG are required. LPG cylinders come in several sizes – 9kg, 19kg, 48g and a 19kg for fork-lifts.
At home, on the farm, within commercial enterprises or industry, cylinders are used for a whole host of applications.
It is a legal requirement that any installation of any appliances and maintenance required must be carried out by an installer registered with the LPG Association of South Africa. Contact GoGas to inquire about your installation requirements.
