Safe Use of LPG
5.1 The LPG system
Your gas system should have been connected
and commissioned by a registered Gas Safe
Engineer engaged by your Park or Siting Agent.
If this is not the case then in the general
interests of your safety and others that may use
this home, you should have the gas installation
and appliances properly commissioned and
checked for safety by a competent Gas Safe
registered engineer. This should be carried out
after the home has been sited but before a gas
supply is connected.
The inlet connection is the start point of the
holiday/park home’s gas system. It will be found
at the rear of the holiday/park home.
5.2 Gas commissioning notice
The gas commissioning notice is fitted to
the rear of the boiler cupboard door. We
recommend that the registered Gas Safe
engineer completes this notice at the time of
commissioning the new home. This record of
first commissioning should not be removed.
If the home is to be let out (either permanently
or short term), then by law (The Gas Safety
(Installation and use) Regulation and health and
safety legislation) the current owner or their
agent must ensure that: commissioning and
servicing checks of gas installations and gas
appliances have been carried out by a Gas Safe
registered engineer; the gas appliances are
checked for safety at least once a year by a Gas
Safe registered engineer; and a record of the
installer’s safety check is prominently displayed
in the unit for occupants to see.
If the unit is being used solely for private use,
other than commissioning, these checks
are not required by law, but it is STRONGLY
RECOMMENDED that the owner has them
carried out and retains a record of the annual
safety checks on appliances.
WARNING:
By law only competent persons
can carry out gas installations and servicing
work. Do not attempt to work on the gas
installation yourself, as to do so could be
illegal and/or dangerous and could put
yourself or others at risk.
WARNING:
Use only propane LPG at a
pressure of 37mbar. Never use appliances
with a different working pressure
Propane remains fully operational down to
temperatures as low as -43 degrees. There
are a variety of sizes and shapes of cylinders
in which the gasses are stored. Consult your
Park owner who will advise you the amount of
gas needed based upon your holiday homes
specification and your particular family or
individual requirements.
The LPG installation and LPG appliances in
your holiday home should be checked annually
by a Gas Safe registered operative. Contact
your Park, Siting Agent or Gas Safe on 0800
408 5500 for a list of recommended Gas Safe
Engineers.
5.3 Using cylinders
What happens inside the cylinder
Calor gas cylinders are specifically
manufactured to store LPG gas in its liquid state
which then turns to gas filling the space above
the liquid. As gas is drawn off in use, more liquid
turns to gas to replace it.
An external regulator (See 5.4 Gas Regulator
section) connected to the supply line between
the cylinder and appliance keeps the pressure
of the gas constant to the appliance as the
cylinder empties until there is no liquid left to
turn to gas.
