FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I have a gas supply for my hob/stove in the kitchen?
Yes a 9kg cylinder in a cupboard either next to the hob or another cupboard usable. But not underneath the hob. The cupboard must be vented for dispensation of any gas that might leak from the cylinder.
If I have my gas supply outside my house can it be anywhere?
Yes although the following conditions apply
- Minimum of 1 meter from a door or window
- 2 meter from an open drain (Does not include storm-water drains)
- 5 meter from an electrical source i.e. air-conditioning unit, pool pump, plug point, mains switchboard
- 3 meter away with a built double brick firewall from a thatch roof.
Do I need 1 or 2 gas cylinders?
- Depends on the system and installed components/appliances. One is fine for a stove or hob
- Two 48kg cylinders are preferable for a Gas water heater or fireplace as you don’t want to run out of gas just as you are taking a shower more so in the middle of winter!
