Upington notes on cylinders, safety & special gases
In the heat, hoses and regulators on farm stoves near Kakamas and Keimoes dry out and crack, so test joints with soapy water and replace hard hoses. Workshops in the Upington industrial area rent oxygen, acetylene and argon mixes for farm and vehicle repairs. Packing sheds on Kanoneiland use LPG forklifts at harvest. Lockable cages in the shade help against theft on outlying plots near Groblershoop.
Cooking, heating and working on gas in Upington
Upington lies on the Orange River at the edge of the Kalahari, one of the hottest towns in the country in summer and far from the main gas depots. The river is lined with vineyards, raisin and table grape farms from Kanoneiland to Kakamas and Keimoes, and farmhouses and staff housing use gas for cooking and hot water. Guest houses and river lodges serve travellers heading to the Kalahari parks. LPG reaches Upington by long road haul to dealers, refill stations and hardware stores, and farms along the river depend on delivery rounds. The heat is the main caution: keep cylinders shaded and upright, never in a closed vehicle, and check hoses that the sun has dried out.
Typical gas regulators and hoses requests in the area come from:
- Farms and smallholdings: high pressure regulators for brooders, burners and the potjie fire
- Homeowners: a new regulator and hose for the stove, heater or braai on a 9 kg
- Guest houses, lodges and venues: regulators and hoses checked and replaced on chalet braais before each season
