LPG Regulations and Requirements
Please note that the following information represents a summary of the SANS10087 codes for LPG installations. These codes must be adhered to by registered LP gas installers:
- Only registered and competent approved installers are permitted to carry out the installation, maintenance, repair, or alteration of LPG gas lines. They are also authorized to issue certificates of conformity.
- If you choose to install the appliance yourself, you will void the product guarantee and may face legal consequences if someone gets injured or property is damaged.
- After any repairs or installations, a pressure test must be conducted, and a certificate of conformity should be provided.
- All registered installers possess an approved licensed card, which can be requested for verification or checked on the SAQCC database if in doubt.
- A registered installer has the right to refuse to work on an existing installation unless a certificate of conformity is presented, or if the installation does not comply with SANS standards. In such cases, a quotation can be obtained from a gas company.
- Installations must include sign boards indicating the direction of gas flow, the installer’s name and registration, the date of installation, and the location of gas shut-off valves.
- For domestic gas lines, it is optional to paint them a light stone color or use a sticker to indicate the flow of gas.
- Gas lines passing through floors, walls, or other areas must be sleeved or wrapped for safety.
- Compression or threaded fittings are prohibited inside roofs, floors, walls, or the ground.
- Copper tubing passing through steel bats must also be sleeved or wrapped.
- A 1x9kg cylinder can be installed in a cupboard as long as it is not positioned beneath the hob or an electrical point. A ventilation opening must be provided if a 9kg cylinder is installed in a cupboard.
- All ball valves should be easily accessible, and shut-off valves are not permitted within enclosed cages.
- If multiple appliances are connected, a main shut-off valve and separate shut-off valves for each appliance must be installed.
- Only class 1, 2, or 3 copper tubing is allowed for gas line installations.
- Copper tubing or PEX pipe cannot be used inside roofs unless it is sleeved with steel pipe or CCST (tracpipe) to the exterior of the building.
- Gas cages are optional for domestic installations but mandatory for commercial installations with public access.
- Rubber hoses used in installations must not exceed a total length of 2 meters and cannot pass through walls.
- Rubber hoses should be in one piece, supplying only one appliance, and must not have joints or tee pieces.
- Gas lines installed underground must be at least 500mm deep and sleeved or wrapped.
- Galvanized pipe is not permitted for gas installations, and compression fittings are not allowed within floors, walls, the ground, or roofs.
- PEX pipe is a cost-effective alternative to copper tubing, but it has a shorter lifespan and may not provide the same level of neatness and professionalism.
- Gas cylinders for separate installations must be at least 6m apart.
- Gas cylinders should be positioned at least 7m away from any staircase.
- Gas cylinders are prohibited within 3 walls, underneath concrete roofs, or underneath gas geysers.
- If placed near a thatch roof, gas cylinders must have a 1.8m high wall built behind them, keeping a 3m distance.
- Gas cylinders can be installed next to a geyser with a minimum distance of 1m, ensuring the bottom of the geyser is at least 1.4m above the ground.
- Gas cylinders should be 5m away from air conditioning units, pumps, and distribution boards.
- Gas cylinders are not allowed inside garages where vehicles are parked.
- Gas cylinders must be positioned 1m away from the sides of doors and windows.
- Gas cylinders can be placed underneath a window if the distance from the valve to the bottom of the window is more than 300mm. However, a non-combustible roof must be installed.
- Gas cylinders should be kept 1m away from airbricks to ensure proper ventilation.
- Gas cylinders must be positioned at least 1.5m away from outdoor lights.
- A distance of 2m should be maintained between gas cylinders and open drains. If a wall is built around the drain, the measurement should be from the drain to the cylinder, totaling 2m.
