It is against most fire codes (except for very small cylinders which can be stored horizontally if they are protected against rolling (add a chock of some sort).  Check your jurisdiction t o see if NFPA or IFC codes are in effect.  CGA is another good reference source .

H ave a safe day,

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Storing G as Cylinders Horizontally

Excuse the cross-postings.

Besides not storing acetylene (and other fuel gases) horizontally, can you think of any reason why gas cylinders can’t be stored horizontally?

Thanks,

Debbie
