About Composite LPG Gas Bottle Cylinders
Composite cylinders for liquid gas also known as LPG, are designed as the modern alternative to steel cylinders.
Suitable for a variety of applications, both industrial and for home users or leisure activities, their advanced construction with polymeric and composite materials combines uncompromising safety, quality, design, and innovation.
Ragasco is dedicated to manufacturing composite cylinders with unrivaled benefits for use at home or during leisure activities. Innovative products offer a multitude of advantages that enhance everyday life, making them the ideal choice for liquid gas containment.
Benefits
- Lighter
Their lightweight, approximately half of their steel counterparts, is one of their most user-friendly attributes, allowing users easier handling.
- Safer
Our unmatched safety record is backed by over 22+ million cylinders in use worldwide. BLEVE-free, safer to handle, and suitable for weather conditions ranging from –40C to +65C. - Rust-free
Our cylinders do not rust or stain surfaces. They eliminate the risk of undetected leaks and toxic residues from the energy-intensive refurbishment process. - Translucent
Users can easily see the level of gas and know when it is time to refill, which means they will be less likely to run out of gas, eliminating the need for inaccurate gauges
Product technical specification
Available in 6 standard sizes, our cylinders are built based on a 3-part injection molding.

Testing Requirements
For composite Bottles, the test cycle is on a (5) five-yearly basis.
NB: It should be noted the Composite Bottles have a life cycle of (15) fifteen years from the date of manufacture.
Valve Replacements
The Valve is an important safety aspect of the LPG Bottle and must be replaced at the bottle’s test cycle interval.
- The first safety aspect is the Pressure Relief Valve (PRV), usually found built at the rear of the Cylinder Valve, depicted by a red plastic cap.
The PRV is intended to operate when the LPG Bottle is subject to intense stress and the pressure builds to the point that the Bottle could face catastrophic failure and rupture. - PRV will normally operate around 2.58MPa / 2585KPa / 375psi, releasing the Bottle’s gas traffic to the atmosphere, thus preventing the cylinder from rupturing.
Valve Upgrade Requirements Oct 2021
- The second safety feature introduced in 2021 was a new valve called Type LCC27 (Black Cap). This replaced the old style called Type 21 POL Valve (Green Cap).
- The safety aspect of the LCC27, it will not accidentally release LPG into the atmosphere if the Valve Tap is turned on.
- The LCC27 requires the POL connector or an LCC27 connector to be inserted before LPG is released.
