LPG Installations
Understanding LPG Installations & Usage
At Euro Plumbing, we expertly install LPG cylinder systems using propane/butane mix (60/40) that liquefies at 600-700kPa pressure. Wondering how long your gas will last? Here’s how to calculate it:
Key Formula:
1 standard 45kg cylinder = 53MJ/hour output
Example Calculation:
• Appliance total (cooker + water heater + 2 space heaters) = 108MJ/h
• Cylinders needed: 108 ÷ 53 = 2.04 → Use 2 active + 2 backup cylinders
Runtime Estimate:
2 cylinders (90kg) = 42.03m³ gas
= 4,316.5MJ energy
= 40 hours at 108MJ/h demand

Is Your LPG Bottle Installation Safe & Compliant?
Proper installation and repair of gas flues requires qualified professionals. Our technicians conduct essential spillage testing (including CO checks) and combustion analysis to ensure complete safety.
Understanding Spillage:
Occurs when inadequate room ventilation exists or when extractor fans/DVS systems disrupt flue operation. We identify whether:
-
Additional permanent ventilation is needed
-
A flue fault exists
-
Other appliances are causing interference
Critical Safety Note:
We never leave appliances connected if spillage persists. Our testing protocol includes operating interfering fans with specific door/window configurations.
Ignition System Expertise:
We service all ignition types:
-
Electronic/Piezo systems
-
Manual spark ignition
-
Pilot light assemblies
Many apparent ignition faults actually stem from:
-
Gas valve malfunctions
-
Thermocouple failures
Our systematic “Fault & Remedy” approach ensures efficient, cost-effective repairs while maintaining the highest safety standards. Trust Euro Plumbing for all your gas appliance needs.
