Gasit Underbody Tank Questions
Posted: 17 Sep 2017, 14:48
Hope some of your knowledgable people with Gasit LPG / Autogas tanks can answer a few questions as I plan to install this setup soon.
Firstly I plan to run my Propex 1600 Heater and Autosleeper Hob and Fridge.
Question 1 - Can I use 37mb Regulator feeding into a manifold and into each of these appliances? Is the pressure too high for the Hob and Fridge and if so is it possible to add another regulator for them?
I am thinking of buying the EASYFIT - 200mm x 30 ltr Tank https://www.gasit.co.uk/200-x-30-ltr-ga ... -feet.html.
I am a bit unsure of the fixings needed as the description doesn't specify what sized outlet it has and I have not owned one before. I was hoping to use 8mm copper pipe as I assume is safer than flexi hose.
Questions 2 - Do I use 8mm Copper pipe on the entire system, or should I use flexi from the regulator on the tank to a tap manifold, then copper to appliances?
I am hoping to install a chasis mounted fill point not one cut into the body. This will then go through the floor into a cupboard and join a 3 tap manifold, each tap then going off to the 3 appliances.
There are so many regulators I am a but unsure what to go for other than it should be 37mb propex type. Most seem to have the tails for flexi hose so unsure which to go for if I am planning 8mm copper throughout, unless this is over kill?
Question 3 - What output is does the Gasit tanks have? And as such which regulator input do I need?
I cannot find any images of what is under the Gasit plastic outlet shield so unsure of the orientation of outputs. I want to use the L bracket https://www.gasit.co.uk/leisure-gas-ref ... acket.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; to mount the fill point to the chassis
Question 4 - do I need a both Angled Fill point https://www.gasit.co.uk/leisure-gas-ref ... fixed.html and angled fill hose https://www.gasit.co.uk/0-5mtr-straight ... -hose.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, or just one angled and other straight?
Can anyone look at my list and see if all OK and if anything wrong or missing?
I am mainly confused how I go from tank to regulator to 8mm copper pipes. Does the regulator connect directly to tank outlet? If so should I then use rubber or copper pipe and what regulator allows me to do that.
Thanks in advanced
