Planning the LPG Cylinder
Enclosure
Typical LPG Gas Supply Installation
The LPG cylinder enclosure shall house the included
hose and regulator assembly. The hose and regulator
are required parts of the built-in gas barbecue.
A properly constructed cylinder enclosure meets
the requirements for venting and separation of the
LPG cylinder from a heat source. An LPG cylinder
enclosure shall be ventilated by openings at both the
upper and lower levels of the cylinder. The surface
inside the cylinder enclosure should be level so that
the LPG cylinder can sit upright. Do not place the LPG
cylinder on its side.
Cylinder compartments shall have permanent
openings ventilating to the outside of the appliance,
and consisting of either—
(a) perforations, uniformly distributed over the height
of the enclosure and with a total free area of not
less than 25% of the sidewall area: or
(b) separate openings at high and low level, such that—
(i) the total free area at high levels not less than
20 000 mm
2
and is within 125 mm of the top of
the cylinder compartment; and
(ii) the total free area low level is not less than
20 000 mm
2
and—
(A) at least 25% of the required area is
within 15 mm of the base of the cylinder
compartment;
(B) the total required area is within 125 mm of
the base of the cylinder compartment area;
and
(C) the opening cannot be obstructed by the
cylinder(s).
NOTE: Contact your local municipality for building codes
regulating outdoor gas barbecue installations. You must
conform to the latest edition of the local and national code
as applicable.
Cylinder Requirements
• Use cylinders with a minimum capacity of 8.5 kg.
LPG Cylinder Access
The area should be kept clear of sharp, jagged or
extremely abrasive surfaces to avoid possible damage
to gas supply lines. Exercise caution when pulling gas
lines through built-in structure.
The LPG cylinder, hose/regulator and bulkhead must
be easily accessible. The LPG cylinder, hose/regulator,
and bulkhead must be easily accessible. The height
of the tank enclosure (1) must be at least 686 mm
(27") from its floor to its ceiling. The width of the door
opening (2) must be at least 385 mm (15") from side
to side. The height of the door opening (3) must be at
least 559 mm (22") from top to bottom.
NOTE: Cylinder enclosure door not included.
◆
m DANGER: An LPG cylinder enclosure for
a gas cylinder must be built following
the requirements for ventilation, cylinder
retention, and separation of the LPG cylinder
from a heat source. Failure to follow these
guidelines could be dangerous, and could
result in a fire or an explosion causing serious
bodily injury or death and damage to property.
m DANGER: Use of any other hose and regulator
assembly could be dangerous, and may
not provide adequate gas supply to the gas
barbecue, and could result in a fire or an
explosion causing serious bodily injury or
death and damage to property.
