LPG Regulator Safety: A Crucial Priority for Homes, Motorhomes, and Holiday Parks
17.09.2024
Richard Hakeem, Director of Technical and Safety Policy at Liquid Gas UK, highlighted the importance of selecting regulators with built-in safety mechanisms that protect downstream hoses, pipes, and appliances from overpressure in the event of regulator failure. He also emphasised that all regulators have their manufacture date stamped on them, which makes it easier to track replacement needs.
For motorhomes and caravans, special regulators adhering to EU standards offer additional protection. It’s essential to choose the right model, especially for touring vehicles, to ensure safety wherever your journey takes you. Installers are encouraged to proactively replace regulators, not exceeding 10 years after manufacture, to avoid potential hazards.
At SERT, we understand that maintaining LPG regulator safety is not just about compliance; it’s about safeguarding lives. Whether for residential or commercial use, staying vigilant with regular safety checks and timely replacements ensures long-term peace of mind for consumers. By selecting regulators with overpressure protection mechanisms, you add an extra layer of safety, preventing potential malfunctions that could otherwise lead to dangerous situations.
In the end, safety begins with proper installation and maintenance. Ensure your LPG systems are safe, secure, and compliant with the latest standards.
Stay informed, stay protected, and prioritise LPG safety.
