Cylinders, safety & special gases in Pretoria: local notes
Car component plants and warehouses in Rosslyn and Waltloo run LPG forklifts and keep an exchange cage of full cylinders on site. Workshops in Pretoria West and Silverton rent argon, CO2 and oxygen and acetylene cylinders for fabrication and repairs. Houses in Garsfontein and Elarduspark often ask for a lockable cage for the cylinders by the side wall, kept ventilated, with a new low pressure regulator and hose.
Gas in Pretoria
Pretoria's LPG comes by road to depots and dealers around Pretoria West, Rosslyn and Silverton, and from there to refill stations, hardware stores and delivery services across the city. Students in Hatfield and Sunnyside cook on two plate gas cookers with a 5 kg or 9 kg cylinder, while families in Waterkloof, Brooklyn and Lynnwood run gas hobs, braais and tankless geysers. Winter mornings in the east of the city are frosty and gas heaters come out in June, so ventilation matters. Factories in Rosslyn run LPG forklifts. Older houses in Arcadia and Muckleneuk often have a wood fireplace that owners want to convert to gas, which is an installation that needs a CoC.
The requests we see from Pretoria usually come from:
- Homeowners: a leak call out for a gas smell near the stove, geyser or heater
- Restaurants, takeaways and bakeries: fast leak repairs on kitchen ranges and fryers, plus detectors near the line
- Factories, warehouses and workshops: leak tracing on canteen and process gas lines, with detectors at low level

When you ask for quotes, ask whether a wood fireplace can be converted and if the chimney can be reused.

Service area: Pretoria and surrounds
Requests from Pretoria go to dealers and installers who already work in Centurion, Hatfield, Waterkloof, Montana, Silver Lakes, Mooikloof, Akasia and the rest of the area. Mention an estate with access rules, a flat on an upper floor or a long walk from the gate, because they change the delivery.
