Schools feeding hundreds, hospital kitchens, staff canteens — institutional gas supply has different rules: volume, compliance, and zero tolerance for supply failure.
What Institutions Need
- Bulk cylinders (50kg) — the only sensible scale for institutional volumes.
- Twin/quad changeover — uninterrupted supply during service hours.
- Scheduled supply — feeding programs run on timetables, not refill memories.
- Compliance documentation — procurement needs invoices, EPRA-licensed supply, safety records.
Safety at Institutional Scale
A school kitchen isn't a home kitchen:
- Dedicated cylinder storage — ventilated, locked, signposted, away from students.
- Trained kitchen staff — every cook knows the emergency drill and the monthly leak test.
- Documented maintenance — hoses and regulators on a replacement schedule, not on failure.
- Fire equipment — extinguishers and fire blankets in the kitchen and storage areas.
The Procurement Angle
Institutions buy on tenders and approvals — a supplier must provide:
- EPRA licensing and business documentation
- Itemised invoicing and statements
- Reliable delivery SLAs
- Safety documentation for audits

Qualified LPG technicians install; we inspect hoses/regulators on delivery runs as part of commercial accounts.
What records should we keep?
Invoices, delivery notes, leak-test logs and maintenance dates — they'll be asked for in audits.
