Ramco Industries Limited has issued a public advisory on the safe use of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) following recent reports of incidents involving gas tank explosions at homes and in communities.
In a statement, the company said that while investigations into individual cases are ongoing, safety across the LPG marketplace remains its priority. Ramco outlined key safety measures for users, including the use of only approved regulators and hoses that meet codes EN16129 and EN559. Regulators should be replaced every five years and hoses every two years, or immediately if damaged.
Ramco reminded customers that defective regulators and hoses are the leading cause of LPG fires. Its regulator kits are manufactured to international standards and include two hose clips for proper installation.
