What is the maximum allowable storage of liquefied petroleum gas inside a house?

The maximum allowable storage of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) inside a house is set to ensure safety and minimize the risks associated with flammable gases. In most building codes and standards related to LPG, including those from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and other relevant safety organizations, the approved limit for indoor storage is typically around 2,000 pounds. This limit helps to manage potential hazards by reducing the likelihood of a dangerous accumulation of gas in case of a leak.

Storing more than this amount could pose significant safety risks not only due to the flammability of propane and similar gases but also because of the potential for gas leaks, which can lead to explosions or asphyxiation. Therefore, adhering to the 2,000-pound guideline inside residential properties is essential for maintaining safety and compliance with industry standards.
