Description
A cylinder in this class is bought for convenience first: it goes where it is needed and comes back when it is empty.
Typical loads are a single grill, a patio heater, a camper fridge or a food-truck griddle.
Specifications
- Installation: Underground (buried)
- Certification: ASME and DOT stamped
- Condition: Certified used — inspected and pressure tested
- Fuel: Propane / LPG
Installation and siting
Below-ground installation needs a hole, clean backfill free of anything that will abrade the coating, and cathodic protection sized to the soil. Get those three right and the vessel disappears from the property and from the maintenance schedule.
Our responsibility ends at the delivery; a licensed propane contractor takes it from there. Codes on siting, clearances and commissioning are not optional and not ours to sign off.
Condition and certification
This is a certified used vessel. It carries a live stamp, it has passed a pressure test, and the data plate photograph and test paperwork go out with the invoice. What it does not do is look new — there will be surface marks, and we photograph them rather than shoot around them.
The gauge and the relief valve get particular attention — an unreadable gauge causes bad decisions and a tired relief valve causes worse ones.
Before you commit
Size against the real load, not the optimistic one. A vessel one size too small costs more across ten years of refills than the larger one did on the day you bought it.
Buy the documentation, not just the steel. A vessel without a legible stamp and a test record is worth a fraction of one with both, whatever the listing says.
