In which areas are LP gas systems not permitted?

LP gas systems are not permitted in basements or enclosed spaces without proper ventilation because these areas can pose a significant safety hazard. The accumulation of LP gas in confined or poorly ventilated spaces can lead to dangerous situations, including the risk of explosions or harmful gas exposure. An enclosed space lacks the necessary airflow to disperse any leaked gas, and even a small amount of vapor can increase the risk of fire or asphyxiation.

Proper ventilation is crucial when handling LP gas since it allows for the safe dissipation of any leaked gas, reducing the likelihood of hazardous conditions. Therefore, installations must comply with safety regulations that prohibit the use of LP gas systems in areas where adequate ventilation cannot be ensured. This helps to maintain the safety of individuals and property in proximity to LP gas systems.
