30lb - 30 lb Steel Propane Tank with OPD Valve

Industrial-Grade 30 lb Propane Cylinder for Commercial Applications

The Sale of 30-lb Cylinder represents a robust solution for industrial gas storage needs, specifically designed for the containment and transport of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). Manufactured in strict accordance with Department of Transportation (DOT) specifications, specifically DOT-4BA240, this cylinder ensures the highest levels of safety and regulatory compliance for commercial users. The vessel is constructed from high-strength steel, engineered to withstand the rigors of daily transport and fluctuating environmental conditions found on construction sites and in manufacturing facilities.

A key feature of this cylinder is the inclusion of an Overfill Prevention Device (OPD) valve. This safety mechanism is mandatory for cylinders of this size class and prevents the accidental overfilling of the tank, which can lead to dangerous pressure buildup and gas release. The valve is outfitted with a standard CGA 510 connection (POL), making it universally compatible with a wide range of industrial regulators, heating torches, and distribution trees. The collar surrounding the valve is welded securely to the tank body, serving the dual purpose of protecting the valve from impact damage and providing an ergonomic handle for lifting and maneuvering the unit.

Durability is paramount in the design of this 30 lb cylinder. The exterior is finished with a high-quality, rust-inhibiting powder coat, typically in white or light grey to reflect sunlight and minimize internal pressure rise due to solar heating. Before leaving the factory, each cylinder undergoes rigorous hydrostatic testing and inspection to verify pressure integrity. With a service pressure rating of 240 PSI, this tank is built to handle the vapor pressure of propane safely across a wide temperature range.

This cylinder is supplied empty and must be purged properly before its initial filling to remove any air or moisture introduced during the manufacturing process. It is an ideal choice for powering temporary construction heaters, roofing torches, and oxy-fuel cutting outfits where propane is the preferred fuel gas due to its cost-effectiveness and availability. Its 30 lb capacity (approximately 7 gallons) offers a significant runtime advantage over standard 20 lb tanks without the bulk and weight of larger 100 lb vessels.
