47kg Propane Gas

The Calor 47kg propane gas bottle is the largest standard cylinder we deliver, and it’s the one to choose where you rely on bottled LPG as a main fuel source. With its high capacity, it’s commonly used for central heating, gas fires, gas cookers and at holiday parks and mobile home sites, the kind of places where a steady, long-lasting supply really matters.

Standing approximately 130cm tall with a 38cm diameter, this is a heavy, high-capacity cylinder built to deliver consistent propane over a long period, which cuts right down on how often you change bottles. It’s an excellent choice for off-grid homes, static caravans and commercial premises that want bulk-style Calor propane without committing to a permanent tank installation.

It suits central heating boilers and systems, gas fires and room heaters, cookers, ranges and ovens, and the kind of supply that holiday parks and static caravans depend on. Propane is the right gas for this work because it performs outdoors and in cold weather, and the bottle connects through a 37mbar screw-on propane regulator.

It’s supplied as a refill on a like-for-like exchange. You’ll need an empty 47kg Calor bottle ready to swap, or you can add a Calor cylinder deposit if you don’t have one yet. Given the size and weight, siting and fitting are best handled with care and in line with Calor’s guidance or a Gas Safe engineer, not improvised.

FAQs

What is the 47kg propane bottle used for?

It’s the high-capacity cylinder for using bottled LPG as a main fuel, so it suits central heating, gas fires, cookers, off-grid homes, static caravans and holiday parks. Its size means fewer bottle changes where you need a steady, long-lasting propane supply.

How big and heavy is the 47kg cylinder?

It stands around 130cm tall with a 38cm diameter, so it’s a large, heavy bottle. Plan where it will sit before it arrives, with safe access for delivery and changeover. Siting and fitting are best handled in line with Calor’s guidance or a Gas Safe engineer.

Do I need to exchange an empty cylinder?

Yes. It’s a refill on a like-for-like exchange, so you’ll need an empty 47kg Calor bottle to swap on delivery. If you’re starting without one, add a Calor cylinder deposit at checkout and we’ll supply a full cylinder to begin.
