CORGI confusion
Aug 19th, 2005, 8:19pm
 
We want to fit a range cooker into our new kitchen and a workmate has recommended an LPG conversion for the hob. I like the idea, so I asked 2 gas fitters to come and have a look.
The range will be up against an outside wall, and on the other side there is a wooden shed about a metre away. Nearby there is an oil-fired external combi boiler and an underground well sealed by a metal plate.
My problem is that although both of these guys are CORGI registered, one said I could fit the bottles (2 x 19kg) inside the shed and the other said this was illegal.
Which way should I go?
Thanks
Stressed.

from that it looks like its a no-no to keeping them in the shed, should be a building made for that use only, and there are rules regarding construction of it etc.  Best throw them outside.

lpg bottles CANNOT be stored inside a shed,they should be in a purpose designed cage or cabinet with correct ventilation,you also need to consider the distance from drains[untrapped] or heat sources,windows,oil tanks,boundarys just to name a few

It's amazing then that a CORGI registered plumber should recommend that you COULD store them in the shed.

That's just an explosion waiting to happen by the sound of it.
