Hi All,

I am after some help understanding what is acceptable practice for daisy chaining ( manifold) multiple propane cylinders. I have spent quite a bit of time searching for legislation and best practice for this but all I seem to find is various forums offering how to do it but nothing on if its an accepted practice.

I would appreciate any help you can offer on the subject 

THanks

john

Why is bulk to manifold delivery not possible/practicable?

A clearer picture of why you are attempting this feat and its application would illicit a more practical response.

You are obviously aware most H&S take "daisy chain" to refer to electrical extensions which is a big No!

Roundtuit, This is part of an NCRQ assignment. There is a photo of 6 propane cylinders linked or daisy chained together. I am to provide guidance for storage of these cylinders which is fine as I understand the requirements for that but what I've never come across before is the daisy chained cylinders. I would just like to to know if anyone can point me in the right direction as I'm sure there would be some guidance on this topic. I'll try and upload a photo later Thanks John

Pretty sure we have a "Study Support Forum" - maybe you posted in the wrong forum?

John, in general you should be able to find suitable sources to answer an NCRQ assignment on the HSE website.

You could also check out the British Compressed Gases Association site which has some free guides on the use of LPG.
