Top Propane Cylinder Safety Tips
Proper Propane Cylinder Connection Safety
First, you should always make sure that your appliance is turned off, then you should take extra caution by then following the manufacturer’s instructions while checking for gas leaks between the cylinder and the equipment’s fitting or regulator. You can then spray a solution that detects leaks on that fitting; slowly open the cylinder’s valve, and then check to see if any bubbles appear—if you see any, close up the valve, tighten the fitting, and try again.
Correct Transportation of Your Propane Cylinder
Do you ever find yourself wondering if you’re loading and transporting your propane cylinder correctly? If so, congratulations! Safety while using propane is obviously top of mind for you, so that’s a great thing. There are a couple of top priorities to consider when transporting propane cylinders in the safest manner possible. You first need to be sure to secure them in an upright position so that they can’t fall, roll, or shift in any significant way. And secondly, you should make sure that you’re never leaving a propane cylinder in a hot vehicle for a long time as well.
Proper Propane Cylinder Storage
Here in Northeast Florida, we have the luxury of having pretty great weather all year round. That being the case, it should be a no-brainer to always make sure you’re storing your propane cylinders outside of your home. Never store your propane cylinders in enclosed areas. This means no garages, or sheds, or anything with walls and anything that’s not well ventilated. Make sure you’re keeping your propane cylinders far away from any heat sources as well, this also means things like propane appliances or grills. Taking these extra precautions will ensure you’re having a fun fall, and you’re keeping yourself safe while using propane in the process.
