If your property is not connected to mains gas, Jefferson Calor Gas provides bottled LPG for suitable off-grid home heating, hot water and cooking systems. As an experienced off-grid gas supplier based in Portsmouth, Brighton and Bournemouth, we help customers understand their cylinder supply, exchange and delivery options, with 47kg propane available for appropriate domestic LPG installations across our local delivery areas.
The 47kg Calor propane gas bottle is Calor's largest propane cylinder and is commonly used where a property needs a substantial bottled LPG supply but is not connected to the mains gas grid.
For a compatible LPG installation, 47kg propane may be used for applications including:
The correct propane gas cylinder arrangement depends on the appliances and LPG installation already in place. If you are unsure about your system, it should be assessed by a suitably qualified LPG engineer. You can find registered engineers through the Gas Safe Register.
For homes without mains gas, an LPG changeover system helps manage the supply between multiple propane cylinder banks, reducing interruptions to heating, hot water and cooking.
Jefferson supplies a 2-Bank Changeover OPSO System for suitable off-grid LPG installations, with over-pressure protection. Installation must be carried out by a suitably qualified Gas Safe registered LPG engineer.
Running out of LPG can be particularly disruptive when bottled propane gas supplies everyday heating, hot water or cooking. Jefferson Gas therefore encourages off-grid customers to understand how their cylinder bank works and plan replacement bottles before their available supply is exhausted.
Suitable installations may use two or four 47kg cylinders with a changeover arrangement. A correctly specified changeover system can switch supply from an empty in-use cylinder or bank to the available reserve supply, reducing the need to manually change cylinders at the point one becomes empty.
We supply LPG equipment, including regulators and changeover valves, and a two-bank changeover unit.
Changeover equipment must be suitable for the individual LPG installation. Do not assume compatibility from the cylinder size alone.
Customers with an eligible empty cylinder can exchange it for a full cylinder under the applicable Calor exchange arrangements.
We encourage customers to return empty or unused commercial cylinders, including 19kg and 47kg propane bottles, helping cylinders return to the supply network rather than remaining unused.
Calor's cylinder groups can include eligible bottles carrying historic or alternative brand names. You may return more than 80 types of eligible Calor-owned return cylinders, including Eurogas, Corralgas, Stubbings, ELF Propower, MB Gas, and LB Gas.
If you are unsure whether your empty bottle qualifies, check its markings and confirm eligibility with us before ordering an exchange.

A 47kg propane cylinder is commonly used for suitable domestic LPG installations with larger or recurring gas requirements. It is Calor's largest propane cylinder. The correct bottle and cylinder-bank arrangement still depends on the appliances and installation at the property.
Yes, suitable LPG installations can use multiple 47kg cylinders with a correctly specified changeover system. Two-cylinder or larger banks can provide a reserve supply when the in-use side becomes empty. The regulator and changeover arrangement must be appropriate for the installation.
We deliver within established areas across Sussex, Hampshire and parts of Dorset. Availability depends on the delivery address, so use the delivery checker or contact us before ordering.
