The requirement is to prevent the bottles moving such that force might be applied to the pipes if there was a collision - for example, if Tim West were driving. If the locker is so small that the bottles can't move significantly, the requirement is satisfied.

Is this a new requirement? I've had 7 different boats pass the BS scheme since it became compulsory in the 90s but I have never needed to have any gas bottles secured inside a locker. Maybe I had the wrong inspectors. It makes sense as the copper pipework inside the locker is prone to damage from bottles moving about too much. I didn't think it was a requirement though. Typo edit From my link in post 2. As far as I know it's been a requirement for them to be secured in the manner stated for yonks. It certainly was when we had a boat.  |
