If you're interested in installing a Bottled LPG regulator on your property, then there are several things you should know. You'll need a flexible pigtail, a regulator, and a gas cylinder. Using a stainless steel pigtail is recommended because the inner tube is covered in stainless steel braid. Copper pigtails will allow plasticizer to get into the gas bottle and remain there. While copper pigtails are fine for domestic use, you'll need a stainless steel pigtail for bottles weighing up to nine kilograms.

LPG is flammable. It is especially dangerous in high concentrations, where it can cause an instant unconsciousness or even death. The flammable gas can also cause a fire if a spark or hot metal ignites it. Acetylene is even more hazardous than LPG, because it is lighter than air. Furthermore, it forms explosive compounds with copper.

When installing a gas installation, you must ensure that the location is stable and that there is clear access to the tank. It is also important to avoid placing the cylinders near any obstacles, such as walls or bushes. Proper ventilation is also important.
