Couplings for cylinders

No registered gas supply company shall supply liquefied petroleum gas-

   (a)  in any cylinder which has a facility for withdrawing such gas in
        liquid form unless-

        (i)    such cylinder is equipped with an excess flow device; and

        (ii)   where such device is not an integral part of the shut-off valve
               of such cylinder, such device is fitted to such cylinder in
               such a manner as to prevent it from being accidentally
               disconnected from such cylinder; and

   (b)  with effect on and from 1 January 1992, in any cylinder which has a
        facility for withdrawing such gas in vapour form unless any coupling
        to be used on or with that cylinder is incapable of being connected to
