Cylinder cages with a lock are common in Ezakheni and Steadville yards, and hoses on heaters should be checked for cracks before each winter.
Ladysmith: the supply, the weather and the buildings
Ladysmith lies on the Klip River below the Drakensberg, where summers are hot and winters bring cold nights and frost, with snow on the passes some years. Households use gas for cooking, geysers and heaters, and the town is a stop for travellers on the N3 and N11 who need camping cylinders refilled. LPG comes in by road from inland and coastal depots to dealers, refill stations and hardware stores, with delivery into Ezakheni and the farms. Factories in the Danskraal and Ezakheni industrial areas run forklifts and welding gas. In summer keep cylinders out of direct sun, and in winter keep heaters in ventilated rooms.
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
- Farms and smallholdings: high pressure regulators for brooders, burners and the potjie fire
- Factories, warehouses and workshops: regulators and hose for canteen burners and space heating in workshops
