LPG vs Natural Gas: Properties & Hazards

  1. LPG properties: what changes with the fuelHow propane and butane differ from natural gas: density, liquid storage, boiling points, odorant, energy and air, and why appliances must be converted.

LPG Pressures, Regulators & Tightness Testing

  1. LPG regulation and choosing the right testLPG pressures to know, what the regulator does and how to choose one, checking working pressure under load, and tightness testing LPG installations.

LPG Storage, Cylinders & Supply

  1. Bulk LPG service pipes: condition and protectionDistinguish ownership, tightness and remaining life, then check route protection and the entry into the building.
  2. LPG supply: cylinders, tanks and service pipesHow domestic LPG is stored and supplied: upright cylinders, heat and cold, changeover, pigtails, changing cylinders, spare storage and pipework.

LPG Ventilation, Siting & Low Spaces

  1. Bulk LPG tanks: surroundings and deliveryPreserve separation, airflow, delivery access and protection against interference and vehicle impact.
  2. LPG siting: low spaces and ventilationWhere LPG cylinders and appliances may go: clearances from drains and openings, low-level ventilation, below-ground limits, detectors and flueless heaters.

Identify what changes when the fuel is LPG

Organise CONGLP1 revision around fuel properties, supply arrangements and installation conditions. In each scenario, identify the fuel and the setting before applying a remembered natural-gas rule. Keep storage, regulator selection and appliance compatibility as separate checks.

The ACS module guide explains where LPG study fits alongside the domestic modules. Refresh core gas safety with CCN1 questions, while keeping the LPG-specific requirements in these notes distinct.
