No more guesswork when it comes to your gas cylinders. The Truma Level Check is your quick and reliable solution for checking gas levels. This handy device uses ultrasound technology to detect whether there's liquefied gas within the measuring range. Just place the Level Check horizontally on the cylinder—if the LED lights up green, you're good to go!
Make sure you're always prepared with the Truma Level Check — available for $325.00 (incl gst) now at your local Gas & Tyre Branch!
Safety first. In order for your cylinder installation to operate safety and efficiently each cylinder should sit on a concrete pad or individual pavers. A safety chain should also secure your bottles to the wall to ensure they never fall over.
The change-over regulator (reg) is the gadget between your cylinders. If you have an automatic change over reg (pictured below) it will automatically switch from the empty cylinder to the full one when the first cylinder runs out. (If both cylinder's taps are turned to the on position.)
If your cylinder station has a manual regulator, you will need to turn on the valve on your reserve cylinder once the first cylinder is empty. Gas is then drawn from the reserve cylinder. Your gasfitter should advise you which type of regulator your set up has installed.
One full bottle should last you approximately 6 – 8 weeks (for a family of 2 adults & 2 children – using LPG for hot water & hobs. Usage for gas fires or heaters will be different). It’s a good idea to get into the habit of checking the change-over reg. Your change-over reg will have a viewing window/indicator – when both cylinders are full, the viewing window will show as CLEAR, BLACK OR GREEN. When this is showing RED it means that a bottle is empty.
Handy Hint:
Many people mistake the directional arrow for a change-over valve. Please don’t adjust the directional arrow on the regulator. This only indicates to the driver which gas bottle is empty.
