ELECTRIC DRAIN HEATING TAPE
GAS CYLINDER BAND
The gas cylinder band is an ideal way of eliminating wastage of gas. It is an electrical resistance fitted with a thermostat which under adverse weather conditions (low temperatures) keeps the gas pressure constant and also allows the cylinder to be used until completely empty.
