THE LPG INSTALLATION
Valves
Close the valves on the supply pipes and the container valve when no
appliance is in use. Close the valves before refuelling and immediately in
an emergency. Check that the appliance valves are closed before open-
ing the container valve.
Keep the valves of empty cylinders closed and disconnected. Fit the
protective covers, caps or plugs. Store spare or empty containers on
an open deck or in drained areas designed for the purpose. The regu-
lating valve does not last forever. It contains a thin rubber diaphragm
which eventually dries out or swells up. If the diaphragm breaks, gas
can escape from the cylinder with full pressure into the system, and thus
causing a fire. We recommend that the valve is replaced every 10 years.
Inspections
Regularly test the LPG system for leaks by brushing soapy water or a
detergent solution which does not contain ammonia. Check all con-
nections for leakages. If a leakage is detected, close the container valve
and repair the system before using it again. Repairs must be carried out
by a qualified gas fitter.
Ventilation
Appliances which burn fuel consume oxygen and discharge combustion
products into the boat. Good ventilation is essential when an appliance
is in use. Never use the LPG cooker for heating the boat. Never cover
ventilation openings.

replaced.

•
at least annually. They must be replaced if there is any deterioration
or damage. LPG hoses should be replaced every second year outside
the cabin, and every 3 to 5 years inside.
•
Check flue ducts at least once a year. They must be replaced if there
is any deterioration or damage.
•
Connection gaskets for the regulating valve must always be checked
