Gas bottles under flood conditions
can become a hazard if not secured in some way. A
47kg gas bottle even when full will float but when
empty the force needed to submerge the bottle or
even secure it is tremendous.
Because the gas bottles stand at ground level and
the flotation unit on a Caravan stands approximately
20” higher, the flood waters will float the bottles
before the caravan starts to rise. The bottles then,
cannot be fixed to the caravan but need to be
independently floating.
Our devices do just that!
The bottles are clamped to a floor plate or the
Calor box floor by a simple collar and screw system.
The regulator is attached to a fixed plate. A
separate square bar insert is pushed into a clamp
bar, then fixed to the ground either by concreting
or raw bolts (whichever is preferable).
The gas bottles will now rise and fall with the
tide, unable to float around the park causing
possible damage to vans or to restrict the descent
of the floating caravan.
