Vulcan 170L LPG Gas Storage Hot Water System

The Vulcan 170L LPG Gas Storage Hot Water System is a discontinued / legacy LPG gas storage hot water listing for customers replacing or matching an older Vulcan 170L LPG unit.

This page is for the LPG version of the Vulcan 170L gas storage water heater, where a discontinued LPG model is being referenced for replacement matching, archived product information or legacy product setup. For current supply or installation, the gas type, model plate, product code, LPG compliance details and replacement suitability must be confirmed before ordering or installation.

The Vulcan 170L LPG gas storage water heater is an outdoor gas storage system designed for medium to large households that want stored hot water with gas recovery. With 170L storage capacity, 4 Star gas efficiency, a vitreous enamel lined cylinder and outdoor-only installation, it may suit properties replacing an older external LPG gas storage hot water system.

About the Vulcan 170L LPG Gas Water Heater

The Vulcan 170L LPG Gas Water Heater stores hot water in a vitreous enamel lined cylinder and uses LPG gas to reheat the stored water.

Unlike continuous flow gas hot water, a gas storage system keeps a stored volume of hot water ready for use. This can suit homes that prefer a traditional storage-style system or are replacing an existing external LPG gas storage water heater.

This listing is for a discontinued / legacy LPG version. LPG and natural gas units are not interchangeable. The gas type must be checked on the appliance data plate, supplier records or archived manufacturer documentation before replacement or installation.

LPG Gas Storage Hot Water

The Vulcan 170L LPG listing is intended for homes using LPG gas. It may suit properties without mains natural gas, homes using bottled LPG and locations where an older LPG gas storage water heater is being replaced.

Because this is a discontinued / legacy LPG listing, the gas type must be confirmed before supply or installation. LPG and natural gas appliances are not interchangeable, even when the tank size and cabinet dimensions appear similar.

170L Storage Capacity

The Vulcan 170L LPG stores 170L of hot water. This provides a larger stored volume than a 135L gas storage system and may suit homes with stronger daily hot water demand.

Vulcan lists the current 170L gas storage range as suitable for medium to large families, with a maximum of 6 people based on stated shower and climate assumptions. Real suitability depends on shower duration, water temperature, climate, outlet flow rates, bath use, laundry demand and household routines.

4 Star Gas Energy Rating

The Vulcan 170L gas storage range is listed with 4 Star gas efficiency.

Gas storage water heaters are commonly selected where a home already has a gas storage system installed and the customer wants a practical like-for-like replacement. Running costs depend on hot water usage, LPG pricing, thermostat settings, recovery demand, location and installation condition.

Vitreous Enamel Lined Cylinder

The Vulcan 170L LPG uses a vitreous enamel lined cylinder. This lining helps protect the inside of the tank and supports long-term gas storage hot water performance when the system is installed and maintained correctly.

Water quality, pressure control, correct valve selection and compliant installation all play an important role in the service life of any storage water heater.

Outdoor Installation Only

The Vulcan 170L LPG gas storage water heater is for outdoor installation only.

It should not be installed indoors. Outdoor gas storage systems must be installed with suitable clearances, ventilation, flue terminal positioning, base support, access, water connections, gas connection and compliance requirements.

LPG Gas Supply Requirements

A discontinued Vulcan 170L LPG model must be matched to a suitable LPG supply.

A licensed gas fitter should confirm LPG bottle setup, regulator suitability, gas pipe sizing, appliance location, combustion data, test point pressure and compliance requirements before installation. LPG pressure and combustion details should be confirmed from the appliance data plate or archived product documentation, not assumed from a natural gas model.

Water Pressure Requirements

Water pressure must be checked before installation. Older gas storage systems may have different valve requirements depending on model, installation age, supply pressure and site conditions.

If incoming water pressure is too high, pressure control may be required. Valve requirements should be checked before installation, especially when replacing older units where existing valves may be worn, missing or non-compliant.

Replacement Matching for Discontinued LPG Models

This page is intended for a discontinued / legacy LPG listing, which means the supplied or replacement model must be checked carefully.

Before ordering, confirm:

• Existing model number

• Gas type on the data plate

• LPG regulator setup

• Gas pipe sizing

• Water connection position

• Cabinet dimensions

• Base condition

• Flue and clearance requirements

• Current compliant replacement options

• Whether a current Vulcan 135L LPG or another LPG system is a better available replacement

Vulcan 170L LPG vs 135L LPG

The Vulcan 170L LPG offers more stored hot water capacity than a 135L LPG gas storage system.

The 135L LPG model may suit smaller households or lower hot water demand. The 170L LPG legacy listing may suit homes that previously had a larger 170L LPG gas storage unit and want to keep a similar storage size, where a suitable replacement option is available.

Vulcan 170L LPG vs Natural Gas Model

The current Vulcan 170L gas storage product is listed as a natural gas model, while this page is for a discontinued / legacy LPG listing.

Natural gas and LPG appliances are not interchangeable. Even when the tank capacity, cabinet style and physical size are similar, the burner, gas valve, regulator requirements and compliance details must suit the correct gas type.

Vulcan 170L LPG vs Continuous Flow LPG

The Vulcan 170L LPG stores hot water in a tank, while an LPG continuous flow system heats water as it passes through the unit.

A gas storage system may suit customers replacing an existing gas storage unit and wanting a familiar storage-style setup. A continuous flow system may suit customers wanting a compact wall-mounted unit with on-demand heating, but it must be correctly sized for flow rate, fixture use and LPG supply.

The best option depends on the existing system, household usage, LPG setup, available space, hot water demand and installation requirements.

Vulcan 170L LPG vs Electric Storage

A Vulcan 170L LPG gas storage system uses LPG gas for heating, while an electric storage system uses an electric element.

LPG gas storage may suit properties already set up for LPG and replacing an existing gas storage unit. Electric storage may suit homes without gas supply or where electrical replacement is simpler. Site conditions, running costs, energy source, compliance requirements and installation costs should all be considered.

Common Uses
