cross section of at least 100
cm 2 ; the opening must not be
vulnerable to any type of
blockages.

• Liquid petroleum gas sinks to the floor as it is heavier
than air. Therefore, rooms containing LPG cylinders
must also be equipped with vents to allow gas to
escape in the event of a leak. As a result LPG
cylinders, whether partially or completely full, must not
be installed or stored in rooms or storage areas that are
below ground level (cellars, etc.). It is advisable to
keep only the cylinder being used in the room,
positioned so that it is not subject to heat produced by
external sources (ovens, fireplaces, stoves, etc. ) which
could raise the temperature of the cylinder above 50°C.
