The optional housing for the gas cylinder cannot be airtight and has to be correctly ventilated. The housing
needs to have an upper ventilation slot above the top of the bottle (of an area min 1/100 of the area of the
base of the housing, not less than 10,000mm2 ) and a lower ventilation slot (of an area min 1/50 of the area
of the base of the housing, not less than 6,000mm2). The dimensions of the housing may vary to accommodate
different types and dimensions of the gas cylinders however they also have to be sufficient for hassle-free
installation of the gas cylinder.
The cylinder valve shall be readily accessible for manual operation. A door in the enclosure to gain access to
the cylinder valve is acceptable provided it is non-locking and can be opened without the use of tools. An easily
removable cover is also acceptable
Cylinders should be installed on a firm, level, non-combustible base, and not resting on soil. The floor or base
should be constructed so that water cannot accumulate within any enclosure or recess
Cylinders should not be stacked on top of each other
Any cylinder that is liable to accidental dislodgment should be prevented from falling
Cylinders should not be installed below ground level unless there is sufficient ventilation to prevent the
accumulation of any leaking gas
A cylinder should be installed so that the pressure-relief valve is in contact with the vapour space and, where
practicable, any discharge from this valve is directed away from any adjacent cylinders or combustible
structures.
