How often should LP-Gas equipment be inspected?

LP-Gas equipment should be inspected at least annually to ensure its safe operation and compliance with safety regulations. Regular inspections help identify any potential issues, such as leaks, corrosion, or other forms of wear and tear that could compromise the integrity of the system. By adhering to an annual inspection schedule, operators can maintain the equipment in good working condition, prevent accidents, and ensure that the LP-Gas system operates efficiently.

Inspections conducted yearly provide a systematic way to keep track of the equipment’s condition, facilitating timely maintenance and replacements as needed. This proactive approach significantly enhances safety and compliance with regulatory requirements, as well as providing reassurance to users that the equipment is functioning properly.

While some may consider inspecting equipment only when it shows signs of damage, relying on this method could lead to serious safety risks occurring unnoticed. Monthly inspections may be excessive and impractical for most users, while inspections every five years are not frequent enough to ensure ongoing safety and compliance.
