LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) equipment is used for barbecues, caravan cookers and caravan heaters and includes components such as hoses, fittings and valves for use in portable and outdoor equipment. When used together correctly, these components provide efficient, portable and convenient energy solutions when you are away from home or on the move.
What is Liquid Petroleum Gas?
LPG is a flammable mixture of propane and butane gases which exists as a gas at room temperature but is stored and transported as a liquid. In its natural state, LPG is odourless and colourless but as with most gases, an odour is added to help detect any leaks. It is also highly flammable and burns with a high heat output which makes it suitable for water heaters and cookers.
Uses for LPG
LPG is commonly used in barbecues and heaters and cookers in caravans. It is an excellent fuel for barbecues because it can be easily transported, heats up quickly, the temperature can be

Expansion vessels are crucial for maintaining a constant and adequate water pressure level within a drinking water or heating system. These vessels look just like small water tanks and are also known as expansion tanks. Within these vessels is a rubber diaphragm, the function of which is to keep the compressed air and the water from the system apart.
Expansion vessels can be either potable or nonpotable. Potable expansion vessels are used in drinking water systems and must meet stringent standards around cleanliness. Non-potable vessels are used within heating systems where water is not suitable for drinking.
When water is heated, it expands. The expansion vessel is designed to deal with this and gives the extra water volume somewhere to go. Without this, pressure would build and build, and the system pipes could potentially burst. Any appliances that are plumbed into the system
