LPG燃气瓶安装法规在燃气瓶的位置指定位置和间隙。从点火源,墙壁开口和下面的地面空间(如排水管或凹坑)的距离都是指定的。气瓶必须放在通风良好的位置和固体底座上。

LPG气瓶定位规则(LPG安装规则)用于燃气瓶安装简介:

  • Gas bottle installation upright and stable
  • Gas bottle installation in well ventilated space
  • Gas bottle installation should not be near wall openings
  • Keep gas bottle installation away from ignition sources and wearing non-static clothing
  • Keep gas bottle installation away from pits and drains
  • Upright and Stable

    • Gas bottle installation must be upright and on a solid base, like concrete or pavers not subject to the accumulation of water. Keeping it upright assures that the pressure relief valve functions correctly.
  • Well Ventilated Space

    • LPG.gas bottle location regulations specify gas bottle installations need to be in a well ventilated space. They can not be in an enclosure, alcove, under the building or under stairways, for gas bottle safety.
  • Not Near Wall Openings

    • Gas bottle installation cannot be close to building openings, including windows, doors and vents, to preclude possible entry and collection of gas in enclosed spaces, as per LPG gas bottle location regulations. They need to be at least 1 metre away from any openings.
  • Away from Ignition Sources and Wearing Non-Static Clothing

    • Gas bottle installation must be clear of ignition sources by either 1.5m or 3.5m for exchange and tanker fill, respectively. This includes electrical switches, circuit breaker boxes, power points, air conditioners, NBN boxes, compressors, pumps, lights, movement sensors, bug zappers and all other electrical gear, as well as flames, like pilot lights or BBQs.
    • 工人应穿棉质服装,并使用黄铜工具在燃气瓶安装期间最小化静电。
  • Away from Pits and Drains

    • LPG比空气重,为避免积累,燃气瓶安装不能靠近坑,排水管或其他地下凹陷。

LPG.gas cylinder installation regulations requires the proper clearance and placement of home LPG gas bottle installation as specified by LPG gas bottle location regulations (LPG tank siting location regulations). LPG gas bottle location regulations (LPG tank regulations) specify locations and clearances from sources of igniton and wall openings for your home LPG gas bottle installation.

LPG.gas bottle location regulations state that ignition sources clearance must be kept a minimum safe distance (1.5m or 3.5m) from the home LPG gas bottle installation.

It is very important that the gas installation positioning meets the applicable Australian Standards including the LPG gas bottle location regulations.

Gas Installation: LPG Gas Bottle Location Regulations

LPG.tank siting regulations require a minimum of 1 meter from, doors, windows, any wall opening, drain or pit. It must also be up to 3.5 metres from ignition sources, including electrical equipment and mobile phones. See the details below for the specifics on LPG gas bottle location regulations.

液化石油气气瓶位置规定(液化石油气储罐iting location regulations) require that an LPG gas installation must be sited safely away from ignition sources — primarily electrical devices and flames — in the event of a leak. A gas installation is expected to be situated in a well-ventilated area. Avoid home LPG gas bottle installation in alcoves or any enclosure.

Home LPG gas bottle installation needs to be on a solid base, such as a concrete slab. They should not be placed on grass or soil areas.

下面的气体安装图形显示了从各种墙壁开口和排水沟维护的最小距离间隙:

Please note that all horizontal dimensions are measured from the centre line of the home LPG gas bottle installation.

商标和房主的LPG气瓶定位法规

Tradespeople, other than gas fitters, would not necessarily understand the LPG gas bottle location regulations and the required clearance from gas installations and restrictions when they install other gear on your home.

因此,房主需要了解LPG气瓶定位规定(LPG坦克选址位置规定)如果安装其他设备,如空调,在天然气安装已经完成后。

While your gas fitter will be well versed in the LPG gas bottle location regulations, you should also be knowledgeable regarding the LPG gas bottle location regulations:

墙壁开口和漏斗 - 距离房屋墙开口的天然气安装距离

In the unlikely event of a gas leak, you want to minimise the chance of gas entering any enclosed area, so requirements for gas installation distance from house wall openings must be maintained at a safe distance.

Drains and pits are also an issue, asLPG.is heavier than air and can collect in low set places.

天然气安装到灯笼线

您还将注意到上面的天然气安装图形的油轮视线上的参考。油轮送货要求驾驶员在填充气瓶时,天然气装置和油轮之间有明确的视线。

Automatic tanker deliveryeliminates the need to check gas bottles or order gas, so it is wise to make sure your gas installation placement allows for this convenient delivery option.

最好建议您对油轮交付欲望的气体装配器,因为他可能不一定会考虑这一点。

Tanker Hose Length for Tanker Filled Gas Installation

It is important to remember that the gas installation needs to be within the reach of the tankers’ hoses, if the cylinders or tanks are to be filled on-site by a tanker.

For example, most tankers have two hose reels.

The low flow hose, for cylinders, can be 40M to 60M.

高流动软管,用于散装罐('子弹')的长度为15米至40米。

Check with your local gas supplier, as they can advise what is available in your area.

So, it depends on the customer gas installation type.

For example, residential gas installations typically have a hose length of 60M, as they are filled with low flow hoses.

Please note that this is a fully stretched straight line measurement.

You should design the gas installation to be less in distance, for practical access.

Gas Installation Away from Ignition Sources

液化石油气气瓶位置规定(液化石油气储罐iting location regulations) require that ignition sources must also be kept a minimum safe distance clearance from the gas installation. This includes all electrical gear like electrical switches, power points, air conditioners, compressors, pumps, lights, movement sensors, bug zappers, etc. distance from the gas installation.

Basically anything that can potentially spark.

Of course, it also includes yourgas hot water heater, pool heater, barbecues, patio heaters or anything else with a flame.

The gas installation clearance also varies based on whether you have tanker delivery orgas cylinder exchange.

On site filling does require a larger exclusion zone but it should be used, if possible, so you can enjoy the advantages of automatic tanker delivery.

NBN (Internet) Connection Boxes and Gas Installation

液化石油气气瓶位置规定(液化石油气储罐iting regulations) also apply to NBN boxes. Regarding the National Broadband Network (NBN) installation, the comms boxes used (see image) cannot be installed inside the exclusion zone of a gas installation, as per AS/NZS 1596.
While considered no, or very low voltage, the current standard – AS 60079 – prohibits the installation inside the gas installation exclusion zone.

Exclusion Zones for Exchange & Tanker Filling Gas Installation

The following two graphics show the LPG gas bottle location regulations for exchange and tanker filling.

如果8.5千克LPG气缸替换较大的LPG气缸,请始终保持较大圆柱体的禁区。

Please note that all horizontal dimensions are measured from the centre line of the cylinders.

For Exchange Only:

适用于油轮交付:

Gas Installation Distance From Appliances

The gas installation will cost you less if you place the cylinders as close as possible to the location of the gas appliances.

This is because you save on the cost of the extra piping.

大多数燃气机会在天然气安装期间经常考虑到这一点。

Well Ventilated Area for Gas Installation

气体安装应位于通风良好的区域。避免家庭LPG气瓶安装在山墙或任何围栏中。

Solid Base for Support for LPG Gas Bottle Installation

气体安装需要在固体底座上,例如混凝土板。它们不应放在草地或土壤区域。

气瓶转换阀

While not actually a LPG gas bottle location regulations issue, you should decide on what type of changeover valve you want before the gas installation, assuming you go with exchange45kg cylinder送货。

自动转换阀门have the advantage automatically switching between the two bottles and providing a coloured indicator when one is empty.

The only downside is if you forget to look at the indicator before the second cylinder is also empty.

While手动转换阀门do require you to manually switch between cylinders, you are provided with an unmistakable reminder to re-order your gas.

You can also get an automaticGas Check Alert™, by Text, on your mobile telephone with either type of changeover valve.

Gas Compliance Certificate, Plate or Badge for Gas Bottle Installation

总之:

  • A gas compliance certificate is documentation that the gas installation complies with the standards and regulations issued by the governing body.
  • It is issued by the gas fitter who performed the gas installation .
  • The gas fitter is typically liable to correct any gas installation related defects.
  • 它可能因形式而异,可以是证书,板块或徽章。
  • 它让燃气供应商知道天然气安装是安全的。

不同状态称为不同的名称,但是当您在家中或商业时,燃气合规证书,板材或徽章是非常重要的文档。

What you need to know:

Gas Fitters Provide the Gas Installation Certificates

All gas installations in Australia must be performed by a licensed gas fitter.

After installing and commissioning a gas appliance at your home, the licensed gas fitter must supply you with a copy of a gas installation certificate and/or fix a compliance plate or badge to the gas installation.

The gas fitter is required to issue a compliance certificate to the owner for any alteration or extension to an existing gas service or a new gas installation.

What Do They Mean?

Licensed gas fitters self-certify that their gas installation work complies with all relevant regulations, standards and codes by issuing a compliance certificate to you.

The compliance certificate contains a declaration, by the gas fitter, that your gas installation complies with all standards and requirements.

Protection For You

This is actually protection for you, if any problems develop later.

If the problems are the result of faulty workmanship, the gas fitter will be required to fix the defect.

Please seeHow To Add LPG Gas to Your Homefor more details

没有一个没有汽油

由于燃气供应商不能提供未经用化的气体装置,也需要合规证书。

The certificate needs to be available before the gas is connected for the first time.

在大多数州,气体钳工将为您提供副本,以传递给您的燃气供应商。

Compliance Requirements Vary by State

Some States require that an engraved compliance plate or badge be attached to the structure at the gas installation location of the gas works.

If this is the case in your State, your gas fitter will provide the plate or badge.

Here is a list of how it is done by State:

• Queensland – Certificate of Compliance

QLD Residents Learn More

•nsw - 附近的符合性板,附近天然气安装或检验/符合性证书

新南威尔士州居民了解更多

• ACT – Compliance Plate attached near the gas installation

Use Licensed Gas Fitters

您必须始终使用许可的气体钳工,以便任何涉及气体的项目。这包括燃气器具装置,维修和维护,以及您的家庭和所有其他天然气配件工作的LPG气瓶安装。

Licensed Gas Fitters Required in All States

All states and territories require the use of a licensed gas fitter for all gas related work, including both LPG and natural gas.

Do not attempt to do gas work yourself or to use a tradesperson who does not have specialist gas training and a specific gas fitter license.

Unlicensed gas work is illegal and potentially dangerous.

如果未经许可的人员执行气体工作,您的制造商的保修和保险盖也可能是无效的。

Licensing

Licensed gas fitters have a gas fitter number, issued by their State regulatory authority, authorising them to carry out gas fitting work.

Some States have different endorsements for different types of gas fitting work, such as gas appliance conversions.

Ask to see the gas fitter’s license to confirm that the tradesperson is entitled to do the specific type of gas work you require.

Gas Fitters vs Plumbers

Many gas fitters are also plumbers but not all plumbers are gas fitters.

If you require work to be done on a gas hot water system, make sure you get a tradesperson who is licensed for both the gas fitting and plumbing trades.

Also, you may need to ask the gas fitter if he does the specific kind of gas installation that you need, such as a gas fireplace.

Not all gas fitters are experienced at installing all types of gas appliances, so you should not hesitate to ask.

Compliance Certificates, Badges and Plates

根据您居住的州或地区,您将收到Notice of Compliance Certificateor a Compliance Badge/Plate will be affixed to the gas installation.

In it the gas fitter declares that the gas installation complies with all of the Australian Standards and statutory requirements.

If a gas installation is faulty, this also requires the gas fitter to come back and correct the defect.

Typical Gas Fitting Tasks

Gas fitters do many different types of gas fitting tasks including:

• Gas appliance installation, conversions , repairs andmaintenance

• Gas installation includingregulators,转换阀,尾纤和气体管线

• Installation and repairs of gas flue pipes.

• Installation of gas meters, valves and associated pipe work.

• Adjusting of gas pressure

• Installation of gas detection systems

• Leak testing and repairs
