How do I safely connect a gas cylinder to an appliance? When connecting your gas appliance to the gas cylinder, always ensure that the connection is made correctly and is gas tight. A smell of gas will be detected if the connection is not tight. All gas appliances have rubber or fibre washers to seal the gas tightly at the point of connection to the gas cylinder. Always check that this washer or seal is in place and in good condition. The rubber or fibre seals and hoses do wear and need to be checked periodically and replaced occasionally. Some ‘DMT Gas’ tips: • Only open valve 1½ turns • When lighting gas appliances that don’t have auto ignition: first light the match or lighter, hold it to the gas burner, then open the gas. The gas will ignite immediately and the flame temperature will go from 0 to 1 970°C instantly • To ensure that fresh air is always available, have a window slightly open when using gas appliances, even in cold weather • Ensure LPG cylinders are always placed on a firm surface • Always shut off the gas supply at the cylinder valve when the appliance is not in use • It is very important to keep the gas jets clean. Before connecting the appliance to the gas cylinder, make sure that the valve is free of dirt and dust. Like all electrical installations, it is legally required that fixed LPG appliances are fitted and piped to a gas cylinder(s) outside, and they must be installed by a certified LPG installer.
