Tag: LPG Boat Appliances

For many boaters, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) remains the most versatile energy source for cooking, instant water heating, and central heating. However, the unique environment of a vessel—where gas is heavier than air and can settle in the bilge—demands a level of installation precision far beyond domestic standards. Selecting marine-grade LPG systems is the first step toward a safe on-board environment, ensuring that every component from the regulator to the burner is engineered for the rigours of the water.

The Specialist Difference: Professional Gas Engineering

Marine LPG systems are governed by strict safety protocols to prevent leaks and carbon monoxide accumulation. Our engineering-led approach prioritises system integrity and long-term reliability.

• Leak Detection & Soundness: We utilise high-precision manometers to verify system soundness, ensuring there is zero pressure drop across your entire gas circuit.
• Ventilation Calculations: Every LPG appliance requires a specific amount of “fixed air” to operate safely; we calculate and verify your vessel’s ventilation to prevent oxygen depletion.
• Corrosion Resistance: We only install appliances with marine-grade components and ensure all pipework is correctly supported and protected against vibration and dampness.
