PROPANE TANK PRV REPLACEMENT Complying with federal regulations for propane tank pressure relief valve (PRV) replacement is a legal necessity that ensures Ă safe and uninterrupted supply of propane. Proactive planning and informed decision-making are key to a smoother transition to compliant tanks. Legal background and provincial timelines The Canadian Standards Association B51-14 code oversees boilers, pressure vessels and pressure piping. One of its mandates is a federal requirement that outlines maximum service intervals for PRVS in bulk propane tanks. Upon the effective date of the PRV regulation, filling Ă tank with an outdated PRV becomes illegal. This necessitates proactive planning for PRV replacement to ensure continued legal use of propane tanks. The B51-14 code execution varies by province. Please refer to the table below for specified provincial timelines for two tank size categories. 2500 USWG PROVINCE OR LESS CEA RTE] BC JAN 1, 2027 AB 25 MAY 31, 2024 SK 25 MAY 31, 2024 MB 25 MAY 31, 2024 ON 25 MAY 31, 2024 GREATER THAN PROVINCE | 2500 USWG EAN TON (YEARS) BC JAN 1,2027 AB 5 MAY 31, 2024 sk 10 MAY 31, 2024 MB 10 MAY 31, 2024 oN 10 MAY 31, 2024 Compliance solutions The Co-op Propane department is diligently working towards achieving compliance for all tanks owned by FCL.

To explore this option, customers need to contact their local Co-op Propane branch to discuss their PRV replacement needs and available alternatives. Installation scenarios and considerations In scenarios where the existing propane tanks need replacement, the first step is extracting propane from them. Then the existing tank is taken out of service and replaced with a new or reconditioned tank. Replacement tank installations must adhere to the current and applicable gas code to ensure compliance After the installation, the new tank is filled and placed in service. For customers choosing the third option, which involves replacing the PRV only, the process requires the tank to run completely empty. This involves accommodating atemporary disruption tothe supply of propane during the replacement FUEL | 19
