Understanding the different installer scopes
The LPGSA’s Training department would like to highlight and clarify the different scopes that apply to registered installers and what each scope allows the installer to undertake and the limitations of each scope. Scope for the Domestic InstallerThe basic installer is trained to perform LPGas installations in the vapour phase only and in domestic applications […]
Safely Cooking with Gas
Using gas has been described as a clean and efficient way to cook. We must, however, ensure that our kitchens comply with safety standards before using gas appliances. These would include ensuring your gas cookers and hot plates have adequate clearance from combustible surfaces, for example: Range-hoods must be at least 600mm above the cooking […]

Bottle(s) can not be placed closer than 5m to an electrical switch, motor, generator, pool pump etc. Bottle(s) can not be […]
Gas Geysers & Mixers
Diaphragm gas geysers only activate when there is a lower water pressure after the geyser (in the hot water piping system). When the tap is opened the diaphragm moves because it receives a positive pressure coming from the cold water inlet, and it moves because there is lower water pressure in the hot water pipes […]
Forced Fan Gas Geysers
FORCED FAN GAS GEYSERS Forced fan gas geysers make use of a fan to assist in the complete combustion of the gasses and then to force the combustion gasses through the heat exchanger. They are generally more efficient than diaphragm and turbine gas geysers. ADVANTAGES: Durability and Reliability: Forced fan gas geysers have a much […]
Why a Gas Geyser is better
Hot water always! Your family can shower consecutively with standard battery operated gas geysers. Multiple showers can operate simultaneously if you invest in a constant temperature (battery operated) or forced fan (electricity) gas geyser. You will never run out of hot water as long as you have gas. Low cost Hot water on demand. Gas […]
