420 lb propane cylinder

Laval, Québec · Preliminary placement study

First area to assess: the relatively blank brick side wall beside the lawn, between the driveway and rear patio. Check the wall vents and rear mechanical equipment on site before choosing an exact point. The opposite side has low basement windows; the rear patio has more openings and equipment.

Choose “Place tank”, then click a ground surface. Drag to orbit; scroll or pinch to zoom.

Guides are horizontal distances from an approximate relief-valve position—not a compliance test. Tank size ≈ 0.76 m wide × 1.37 m tall; confirm supplier dimensions. Scan scale is unverified.

Not an approved installation plan.

The scan cannot establish property boundaries, hidden intakes, ignition sources, or exact clearance measurements. Have an RBQ-licensed propane contractor inspect and approve the location.

Location checklist

Prefer an open-air, accessible section of exterior wall with few openings.
Screen for at least 1 m horizontally from the relief outlet to openings below it, and 3 m to ignition sources, mechanical air intakes and appliance vents. Installer must verify current rules and vertical conditions.
Avoid window wells, low spots, drains, roof-shedding snow/ice and vehicle paths.
Use a stable, noncombustible support and maintain delivery/service access. Do not assume a deck, enclosure, or narrow side passage is suitable.
Confirm Laval zoning/setbacks and the applicable 2026 code edition with the installer.
