What is the maximum size of portable LPG containers that may be stored in residential occupancies?

The maximum size of portable LPG containers that may be stored in residential occupancies is 16.4 oz. This standard is aligned with safety regulations that seek to minimize risk and ensure safe storage practices for flammable gases in residential settings.

Containers larger than this size pose a higher risk of accidents, including leaks and explosions, due to the increased amount of flammable gas stored. Limiting the size to 16.4 oz helps to reduce potential hazards associated with LPG in homes, ensuring that residents can use portable gas containers safely without significant risk.

Understanding the regulations regarding maximum container sizes is crucial for anyone managing LPG storage in residential areas to maintain safety and compliance with local fire codes.
