Purpose of a Gas Cage.

The purpose of a gas cage is purely for theft and vandalism, in other words gas cages are used to prevent the theft of gas bottles & to prevent anyone from tampering or vandalizing the container and regulator set.

 

What Does The S.A.N.S. Say?

In the domestic sector, as it stands right now,  the S.A.N.S. (South African National Standard) will tell you that if the gas bottle or gas bottles side of the fixed pipeline installation, falls within the boundaries of your property “walls” it is not a prerequisite or a necessity to have a gas cage from a compliance point of view, although this may vary in some town house complexes and even some residential estates.

 

The governing bodies or home owners associations and even the local town councils or fire departments can be stricter than the L.P.G.S.A. or S.A.N.S. regulations. They can insist on gas bottles in the estates or complexes being housed in gas cages. So the standard ruling is no, gas cages are not mandatory in a standard domestic gas installation. It is not a compliance issue either for a standard residential installation up to 100kg. If you have a manifold system from 2×2 up then yes a gas cage is 100% compulsory, but on a standard 100kg installation and smaller, then no it’s not necessary.

Services and industries like cafés, restaurants, coffee shops, powder coating companies, coffee roasters, laboratories, company in-house kitchens, all have a common requirement for the business side of LPG, as do most other commercial applications.

Gas leak detection equipment is used mainly on commercial and industrial type installations.

 

The equipment used monitors the air in the vicinity of the appliances where gas is used, and should a leak occur, the sensor or sniffer will detect the level of gas present, and the sensor then sends a message to the control unit.

 

When this happens and a leak is detected the control unit raises an audio alarm, as well as automatically shutting off a solenoid valve which is fitted within the gas line. Please call for more information.
