There shall be a minimum clearance of 2 inches (51 mm) 
between the lower surface of the floor of the LP-gas supply 
cylinder enclosure and the ground.
The design of the appliance shall be such that (1) the LP-gas 
supply cylinder(s) can be connected, disconnected and the 
connections inspected and tested outside the cylinder enclo-
