Choosing LPG Components

Selecting the right LPG components usually starts with understanding the type of gas you’re using and the appliances they’ll be connected to. Propane is the most common choice for outdoor setups such as caravans, BBQs, patio heaters and catering equipment because it performs well in colder conditions. Butane, by contrast, is often used in milder weather or in certain indoor-approved portable appliances. Each gas type uses different cylinder connections, so fittings are not interchangeable; propane cylinders may use POL or 27 mm clip-on fittings, while butane typically requires 21 mm clip-on or a separate butane threaded connector.

If you run more than one cylinder, you’ll also find a choice between automatic and manual changeover kits. Automatic systems switch cylinders for you when one runs empty, preventing unexpected outages on caravan or catering setups, whereas manual changeover kits offer a simpler and more economical option.

Regulators are another key component. Low-pressure propane regulators are commonly set around 37 mbar, while butane versions typically operate near 28 mbar. High-pressure regulators serve specialist burners or commercial equipment, and all regulators come with specific inlet connections such as POL, W20 or clip-on fittings. It’s always important to match the regulator to both the cylinder and the appliance requirements, checking individual product specifications before purchase.

Compression fittings for LPG can often be reused, although you may need to replace the olive. As with any mechanical joint, components should be checked carefully to ensure they remain in good condition before installation.

LPG Safety Essentials

Good safety practice is essential wherever LPG is used. Cylinders should always be stored upright in a well-ventilated area, away from heat sources or open flames. Hoses must be checked regularly for signs of wear, cracking or past-date markings, and any new joints or reconnections should be checked with a soapy water solution to confirm they are sound.

Using the correct hose diameter and rating for the appliance is vital, as is ensuring adequate ventilation whenever LPG equipment is operating. As for regulators and valves, they should never be modified, and if you suspect a leak, the cylinder should be turned off immediately while the area is ventilated.

For permanent or commercial installations, particularly in caravans, catering environments or industrial spaces, work should be carried out by a specialist.
