420-lb. Propane Cylinder

Height 4'-4 ½" | Diameter 30" | LPG Capacity 375 litres* (Per Cylinder)

Ideal Use: If you are using propane at home for something other than primary home heating, this is the tank for you. Popular uses include water heaters, fireplaces, pool heaters, and auxiliary heaters.

Distance/Position: Cylinders can be placed against a building, and more than one cylinder can be connected together for higher volume use when a 500 gallon tank is not feasible. A maximum of four cylinders can be placed together. A typical residential application would require two to three cylinders.
