You Know Gas. LPG Was Just Scattered Across Separate Standards.

You're on a caravan site with the manometer on the test point. The regulator is marked 30 mbar, the old fire's badge says 37, and you have to decide which number is right.

The answer is in the guidance, but spread across paragraphs and separate standards: propane in one place, butane in another, caravans in a different document. Nothing puts the pressures side by side.

Right regulator for the gas, Class 3 hose at cylinder pressure, joint tested with fluid

In the book it's one page: the pressure ladder. Propane 37 mbar, butane 28–30, EN 1949 caravans 30, natural gas 20, each on its own rung, with the rule that settles it: the badge has to match the supply.

The same goes for cylinder siting, regulators and their safety cut-offs, the LPG tightness test, low-level vents and ID or AR: each one has its own page.

You read the gauge, you know where that number belongs and you carry on with the job without going back to the manual.

COMPARE FOR YOURSELF

The Same Topic, Two Ways to Study It

THIS
  • The manual: line after line
  • Propane, butane and caravan pressures in separate paragraphs
  • You go into the assessment with doubts
The nominal operating pressure for propane supplied to domestic appliances is 37 mbar, whilst butane appliances are generally designed to operate at 28 mbar, although values of up to 30 mbar may be encountered. Leisure accommodation vehicles manufactured in accordance with BS EN 1949 are fitted with a regulator delivering 30 mbar irrespective of the gas in use, whereas older vehicles may incorporate cylinder-mounted regulators at 28 or 37 mbar. The engineer should therefore establish the type of installation and confirm the appliance data badge before any regulator is replaced.
FOR THIS
  • The pressure ladder: every gas on one drawing
  • The weights and the emergency number in a box
  • You see it and you understand it
Butane about 4.5–15 kg, propane about 3.9–47 kg, and the emergency number is on the cylinder

One Page, One Topic, All Clear

Think of it this way:

You've just added a run of copper to a propane supply, and you have to tightness test it before you turn the gas back on with the customer watching.

You open the book at the tightness test and see the four steps drawn in order: let-by, stabilisation, test, result, with what to check at each one.

GSIUR reg. 6(6): test at least to the nearest valves upstream and downstream.

The same with cylinder siting, the pressure ladder, low-level vents in caravans, appliance types and ID or AR: each one on its own page.

LPG Gas Safety Illustrated is 66 illustrated pages in 9 parts, one topic per page, and it ends with the LPG values on one page and a final job checklist.

What you see drawn, you don't have to memorize.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it for me if I've worked on natural gas for years and I'm adding LPG?

Yes. It's written for Gas Safe registered engineers who already know natural gas: it shows what changes with LPG, page by page. It covers the core CCLP1 topics plus permanent dwellings and park homes (CCLP1 RPH) and leisure vehicles (CCLP1 LAV), so it works for a first LPG assessment or your 5-year reassessment. It isn't a DIY guide and it isn't a qualification.

Where does the content come from?

From the published UK guidance: GSIUR 1998 and HSE L56, BS 5482-1, BS EN 1949, IGEM/UP/1B, BS 5440, IGEM/G/11 and the UKLPG Codes of Practice. Each value is checked against the current edition.

Is it official material?

No. It's an independent illustrated study book, not issued or endorsed by any certification body, training centre or regulator.

Does it replace the training course?

No. Your training centre's manual is the full text, and you still need the ACS course, the assessment and the manufacturers' instructions. This book draws the same rules one topic per page, with the values in a box, so you can revise in an evening and keep them to hand on site.

Are the practice questions the ones in the assessment?

No. The exam-style questions are written for this book. They help you see where you stand; they aren't official questions.

When and how does it arrive?

The book and the 2 gifts arrive as PDFs by email, at the address you enter when you pay.

Do I have to pay every month?

No. It's a one-off payment, with no subscription.

Can I have it on paper?

Yes. The PDF prints well at home or at a print shop, so you can keep it in the van.

How does the refund work?

You have 30 days. We refund everything if the file won't open, if the book isn't what you see on this page, if you were charged twice or if the email doesn't arrive: just email us.

Before You Close This Page

No more rereading the standards with nothing sticking.
