What to know locally in Cape Town
Warehouses in Epping, Montague Gardens and Airport Industria run forklifts on LPG exchange from a ventilated cage outside. Fabrication shops in Paarden Eiland and Salt River rent argon mixes, CO2 and oxygen. On the Atlantic seaboard in Camps Bay and Hout Bay, salt air rusts cages and padlocks, so ask for a coated cage and check the regulator for corrosion.
Cape Town: the supply, the weather and the buildings
Cape Town winters are wet, windy and cold, and many homes rely on gas heaters and fireplaces from May to September, alongside the gas hobs and geysers fitted during load shedding. LPG arrives by road from depots near the harbour and the northern industrial areas to dealers, refill stations, hardware stores and delivery services across the metro. Restaurants in the City Bowl, Sea Point and the Waterfront run gas ranges and patio heaters, and warehouses in Epping and Montague Gardens use forklift gas. Salt air along the Atlantic seaboard and the False Bay coast rusts cylinders and cages, and the south-easter can topple loose cylinders, so stand them in a cage on a firm base.
Typical gas regulators and hoses requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a new regulator and hose for the stove, heater or braai on a 9 kg
- Restaurants, takeaways and bakeries: changeover valves on 48 kg banks so the kitchen never runs dry mid service
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: matching regulators and short hoses on cylinders kept in each unit's cage
