GAS SAFETY ADVICE
GAS SAFETY ADVICE
In the event of a suspected gas leak the gas
must be turned off using the isolation valve
on the LPG tank. A competent gas fitter
should then check the system before it is
used/reused.
Regularly check flexible gas hose, joints and
connections for tightness. Finally, make sure
that each gas appliance is working efficiently
to the recommendations of the appliance
manufacturers.

FACTS ABOUT LPG
•
LPG is not poisonous.
•
Bi-products of incomplete combustion
are harmful to health.
•
LPG is dangerous if all air and oxygen is
excluded.
•
LPG has been given a smell by the
manufacturers in order to identify leaks.
•
The gas is heavier than air and therefore
sinks to the lowest point.
AWNING SPACES, LPG AND
APPLIANCE EXHAUST
Space and Water heaters may produce
sufficient amounts of CO2 to pollute the
awning space, if it is totally enclosed and
therefore MUST NOT BE used on gas when
an awning is attached.
In extreme cases there could be a build up of
carbon dioxide to a dangerous level.
Campervan owners are advised to allow
some fresh air circulation in the awning
space when such appliances are in use.
Please note:
Ventilation holes must be clear
at all times.
LPG GAS SYSTEM
Elddis does not recommend the use of any
external cylinders.
It is recommended that no flammable
material is stored or placed within 300mm of
any open flame.
Please ensure that you have read the
operating instructions for each gas appliance
contained in your Owners Information Pack.
WARNINGS
•
Fresh air circulation should be
allowed below the campervan when
appliances are in use and when flues
terminate below the floor to allow free
evacuation of the products of
combustion. At least three sides of
the underfloor space should always
be kept open and unobstructed
especially by snow. Do not make any
additional openings in the floor.
•
No appliance shall be used outside
when connected to an internal outlet.
•
Maintain adequate spacing of
combustible materials from sources
of heat.
•
Do not use additional independent
gas appliances inside the campervan.
