What is a cylinder refill agreement?
When you first purchase an Ogaz gas cylinder, you are issued with a refill agreement charge. All Ogaz gas cylinders remain Ogaz’s property for the duration of use and this allows Ogaz to exchange cylinders included in your order with supplies of gas.
Ogaz will refill gas cylinders by providing you with a pre-filled cylinder in exchange for the empty cylinder. A cylinder can only be exchanged for a similar replacement bottle.
Here are a few helpful Do’s & Dont’s for handling gas cylinders:
DO:
Check cylinder and appliance seals
Check the valve area for dirt
Always keep the cylinder upright while attaching the regulator
Ensure that you keep the cylinder away from naked flames
Take your empty cylinder back to Ogaz so they can discard or scrap as they see fit
Refill with them once you are ready,
Let appliance cool after use
Check for leaks by:
Applying soap water to connections and look for bubbles,
Listen for hiss of escaping gas
DON’T:
Use tools to tighten the valve
