VULCAN LPG GAS STORAGE HOT WATER
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 intended for customers matching, replacing or researching an older Vulcan 170L LPG water heater.
This page relates specifically to the LPG version of the Vulcan 170L gas storage range. Before supply or installation, the existing appliance data plate, gas type, model details, LPG requirements and available replacement pathway should be confirmed.
The legacy Vulcan 170L LPG is an outdoor gas storage system with 170L storage capacity, 4 Star gas efficiency, a vitreous enamel lined cylinder and gas recovery. It may suit medium to large households replacing an older external LPG storage water heater where a compatible legacy unit or suitable current replacement is available.
Important legacy product note: the Vulcan 170L LPG should be treated as a discontinued / legacy listing. Do not assume a current product code, LPG gas pressure specification, warranty entitlement or direct replacement compatibility. Confirm the existing model plate and available replacement before ordering or installation.
WHAT IT DOES
What Does the Vulcan 170L LPG Do?
The Vulcan 170L LPG stores hot water inside a vitreous enamel lined cylinder and uses LPG gas to recover the stored supply after hot water is drawn.
Unlike an LPG continuous flow system, it maintains a stored volume of hot water ready for use. This traditional storage-style setup may suit properties replacing an older outdoor LPG gas storage system.
LEGACY PRODUCT
Is the Vulcan 170L LPG Still Available?
This product should be treated as a discontinued / legacy LPG listing.
Availability must be confirmed before ordering. Depending on stock, product age and replacement options, a current LPG storage model or another suitable hot water system may need to be selected instead.
The exact legacy LPG product code should also be confirmed from the appliance data plate, archived supplier information or manufacturer records rather than assumed from the current natural gas version.
WHO IT SUITS

PRODUCT SUITABILITY
Is the Vulcan 170L LPG Right for My Home?
May Suit If...
You are replacing an existing Vulcan 170L LPG system, want similar storage capacity and have an outdoor LPG gas storage installation that can be correctly matched.
Check an Alternative If...
The legacy unit is no longer available, the product code cannot be verified, your household requirements have changed or a current LPG model provides a more practical replacement.
Confirm Before Ordering
Check the data plate, gas type, LPG regulator, gas pipe sizing, cabinet dimensions, water connection position, base, clearances, water pressure and current replacement options.
LPG MODEL
This Listing Is for LPG
This page relates specifically to a legacy LPG version of the Vulcan 170L gas storage water heater.
LPG and natural gas appliances are not interchangeable. Even where cabinet dimensions and storage capacity appear similar, gas controls, burner setup, regulator requirements and compliance requirements can differ.
The gas type should be confirmed directly from the existing appliance data plate before replacement.
HOW IT WORKS
How Does the Vulcan 170L LPG Work?
1. Hot Water Is Stored
The cylinder stores approximately 170L of heated water ready for household use.
2. Hot Water Is Used
As stored hot water leaves the cylinder, incoming cold water replaces it.
3. LPG Reheats the Tank
The LPG burner reheats the incoming water so the cylinder can recover after demand.

170L STORAGE CAPACITY
How Much Hot Water Does the Vulcan 170L LPG Store?
The legacy Vulcan 170L LPG stores approximately 170 litres of hot water.
This provides more stored capacity than a 135L gas storage system and may suit households with stronger daily hot water demand.
The supplied Vulcan 170L range information references up to 6 people under stated usage conditions, but actual suitability depends on shower duration, climate, fixture flow rates, bath use and household routines.
4 STAR GAS EFFICIENCY
What Is the Vulcan 170L LPG Energy Rating?
The supplied information identifies the Vulcan 170L gas storage range as having a 4 Star gas energy rating.
Running costs for a legacy LPG storage water heater depend on LPG pricing, household usage, thermostat operation, recovery demand, climate and installation condition.
VITREOUS ENAMEL CYLINDER
How Is the Vulcan 170L Cylinder Protected?
The legacy Vulcan 170L LPG uses a vitreous enamel lined cylinder.
The lining is designed to help protect the inside of the storage tank during normal hot water service.
Water quality, pressure control, valve condition, correct installation and maintenance remain important to the service life of any storage water heater.
OUTDOOR INSTALLATION
Can the Vulcan 170L LPG Be Installed Indoors?
No. The supplied product information identifies the Vulcan 170L gas storage water heater as an outdoor-only style appliance.
The installation position must meet applicable clearances, ventilation, flue terminal, base support, access, gas, plumbing and compliance requirements.
LPG SUPPLY
Vulcan 170L LPG Gas Supply Requirements
Because this is a discontinued / legacy LPG listing, LPG gas pressure and combustion data should be confirmed directly from the appliance data plate or archived product documentation.
A licensed gas fitter should verify the LPG bottle arrangement, regulator suitability, gas pipe sizing, appliance location, gas pressure and compliance requirements before any replacement installation.
Do not apply current natural gas pressure specifications to a legacy LPG appliance.
WATER PRESSURE
Vulcan 170L LPG Water Pressure Requirements
The supplied source does not provide a confirmed legacy LPG-specific pressure table for this discontinued model.
Incoming water pressure, existing valves and any pressure-control requirements should therefore be checked during the replacement assessment rather than assumed from another Vulcan model.
SIZE & ACCESS
How Big Is the Vulcan 170L LPG?
The supplied legacy data gives approximate dimensions of 1858 mm high × 422 mm wide × 502 mm deep.
These dimensions should be treated as legacy reference information. The existing appliance and proposed replacement should be measured and checked before ordering.
Installation planning should also allow for delivery access, lifting, base support, plumbing, gas connections and required service clearances.
REPLACEMENT MATCHING
What Should Be Checked Before Replacing a Vulcan 170L LPG?
- Existing model number
- Gas type shown on the appliance data plate
- Legacy LPG product code if available
- LPG bottle or storage arrangement
- Regulator suitability
- Gas pipe sizing
- Water connection positions
- Cabinet dimensions
- Base condition
- Outdoor clearances
- Flue terminal requirements
- Water pressure and valve condition
- Current compliant replacement options
- Whether a smaller or different LPG model is more practical
REPLACEMENT & UPGRADES
Can the Vulcan 170L LPG Replace My Existing Hot Water System?
This listing is primarily intended as a reference for an existing legacy Vulcan 170L LPG installation.
If an identical unit is unavailable, a licensed installer should assess the current installation and select an appropriate LPG replacement based on gas supply, storage requirements, dimensions, connections, clearances and current compliance requirements.
Replacing the Same Legacy Model
Confirm the exact data plate and product details before assuming another legacy unit is identical.
Moving to a Current LPG Model
A current LPG storage or continuous flow model may be a more practical replacement where the discontinued 170L LPG product is unavailable.
Relocating the System
Relocation can require gas pipe changes, plumbing changes, a new base, clearance assessment and other compliance work.
COMPARE STORAGE CAPACITY
Vulcan 170L LPG vs 135L LPG
Legacy Vulcan 170L LPG
Provides 170L of stored hot water and may better match homes previously using a larger LPG gas storage cylinder.
Vulcan 135L LPG
Provides less stored capacity and may suit smaller households or lower hot water demand where a current compatible option is available.
The right replacement depends on actual household demand, product availability, existing dimensions, LPG supply and installation requirements.
COMPARE GAS TYPES
Vulcan 170L LPG vs Natural Gas Model
Legacy LPG Version
Intended for an LPG gas supply. LPG-specific gas pressure and product details must be confirmed from the appliance or archived documentation.
Current Natural Gas Reference
The supplied information references current natural gas product code 648170NG. This is not an LPG product code and should not be used to identify the legacy LPG appliance.
Natural gas and LPG appliances must not be treated as interchangeable.
COMPARE SYSTEM TYPES
Vulcan 170L LPG Storage vs LPG Continuous Flow
170L LPG Storage
Stores hot water in a cylinder and uses LPG to recover the stored supply after use.
LPG Continuous Flow
Heats water on demand without a storage tank and must be correctly sized for flow rate, LPG supply and simultaneous fixture use.
Storage may suit customers wanting a similar replacement to an existing gas storage setup, while continuous flow may suit customers wanting a compact wall-mounted alternative.
