LPG Cylinder Enclosure Clearances From
Surfaces or Structures
When determining a suitable location for your LPG
cylinder enclosure, give thought to concerns such
as proximity to trac paths and keeping any gas
supply lines as short as possible. Never install the
LPG cylinder enclosure in a garage, breezeway, or
shed, under an unprotected overhang, or in any other
enclosed area. Position the LPG cylinder enclosure and
structure so there is enough room to safely evacuate
the area in case of a fire.
Follow the minimum clearances from surfaces
surrounding the LPG cylinder enclosure as depicted
here.
NOTE: If you have questions on what materials are
considered noncombustible, contact you local building
supplier or fire department.
