Density, Slope and Fire Risk
- Cylinder placement matters more here than almost anywhere. Outside, upright, secured, ventilated and clear of doorways and paths used to get out.
- Keep access routes clear. Emergency vehicles cannot reach every structure, which makes prevention and placement more important, not less.
- Never store spares indoors. Particularly where structures are close together and share walls.
- Smaller cylinders are easier to handle on a steep site, at the cost of more frequent exchanges. Worth weighing deliberately.
Exchange cylinders at a licensed supplier, hardware store or fuel station. Avoid anyone filling cylinders by decanting, which is illegal and frequently leaves them overfilled. Look over the hose for cracks or stiffness before connecting, and never store a spare cylinder inside.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where should a gas cylinder stand here?
Outside, upright, on a firm base, secured, ventilated, and clear of doorways and the route you would use to get out. Not indoors and not in a sealed enclosure.
What size cylinder is practical on a steep site?
9kg and 19kg are far easier to carry and exchange than 48kg. The trade-off is more frequent exchanges, which is usually worth it here.
What should I do if I smell gas?
Close the valve if it is safe to reach, open up, switch nothing on or off, get everyone out and call your supplier or the City on 107 from a landline or 021 480 7700 from a mobile. Do not go back in until it has been checked.
Do I need an installer for a portable cooker?
No. Portable appliances on a hose are not a fixed installation and need no installer or certificate.
Can installers reach properties up the slope?
Generally yes, though access shapes how the job is priced. Describe the access when you request quotes so nobody is surprised on the day.
What does a leak test cost?
R900 to R2,400 for a call-out, test and locate on an accessible installation, excluding any repair.
