DO NOT look for a leak with a naked flame
IMMEDIATE ACTION:
• CLOSE all supply valves.
• EXTINGUISH all sources of ignition.
• Open all doors and windows.
• If leakage cannot be stopped REMOVE CYLINDERS to
a safe place in the open air and advise the supplier. If

f. It is essential that the correct pressure regulator, with the correct
pressure setting and capacity for the installation, is used in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
g. In the case of a connection on a pressure regulator or gas
appliance which relies upon a sealing washer to maintain a
gastight joint, it is essential to check that the washer is present
and that it is sound and correctly positioned prior to making
the connection. Where the connection relies on a metal-to-
metal seating or bullnose connection to obtain a gastight joint,
it is essential that the mating surfaces be clean and undamaged.
Under no circumstances should a damaged valve or connection
be used.
h. Where connections are designed to be tightened with a
spanner, it is essential that a spanner of the correct size is
used and that the union is firmly tightened - hand tightness is
not sufficient.
When self sealing valves are incorporated in a gas cylinder,
connection should be made in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions and tools should not be used.
i. If the continuation of supply is interrupted when a cylinder is
changed, it is essential that all appliance taps are turned off
before the change is made.
j. With bulk storage tanks always ensure that the site is kept clean
and clear of rubbish. Such vessels are designed to be filled on
site by the gas distributors.
