These are real pages from the book. The table of contents is the full one: 9 parts and 64 topics.
You're standing next to two cylinders against the kitchen wall. The owner wants a lockable cage and an automatic changeover, and you have to decide where the cage vents and how long the pigtails can be.
You read it last night. But the standard gives it to you in paragraphs: cage, cover, ventilation, changeover, extinguisher, all in one run of text. On site, none of it comes back in the right order.
In the book, that same job is one page: the cage drawn with its vent at the bottom, the two cylinders, the changeover valve and the pigtails marked at 1 m at most. Above 100 kg, the extinguisher is drawn right there next to it.
The same goes for distances from doors, windows and air bricks, drains and manholes, the regulator label, the pipe run along the wall and the leak test: each one has its own page.
You look, you understand, and you know what to check before you fit the cage, and where to look in the standard for the exact wording.
How LPG behaves, the rules and your role, cylinders and siting, regulators and hoses, pipework, appliances and ventilation, testing and commissioning, the CoC and handover, and a final review: 68 pages, all illustrated
Think of it this way:
A customer calls: new gas hob, cylinder outside the kitchen. Before you drill a single hole, you need to know where that cylinder can stand.
You open the siting page and see the house drawn from above: 1 m from openings, 2 m from drains, never below ground, all on one drawing.
The same with the regulator label, the pipe run along the wall, low and high vents, the pressure test and the CoC: each one on its own page.
LPG Installer Illustrated is 9 parts and 64 topics, all drawn, and at the end, the numbers to have at hand and a checklist for the night before the theory assessment.
What you see drawn, you don't have to memorize.
What LPG is, how one litre of liquid becomes about 250 litres of gas, why it sinks and pools, the flammable range, cold weather, combustion air and the added smell.
The legal map in one drawing, who may install gas, the road to registration, your duties and the owner's, when a CoC is needed and how to find your way around SANS 10087-1.
South African cylinder sizes, markings, the checks before you connect, outside siting, distances from openings and drains, ignition sources, below ground, the limited indoor cases, cages and changeover.
Why the regulator exists, single- and two-stage regulation, reading the label, matching it to the load, flexible hose rules, fittings and left-hand threads, and when to replace.
Pipe materials, sizing, runs along walls, through walls and floors, underground runs, isolation valves and clearances from electrics and other services.
Whether the appliance is made for LPG, hobs and ovens, gas geysers, gas heaters, rooms where appliances don't go, low and high vents, flues, spillage and carbon monoxide warning signs.
Your test kit, the leak test in five steps, the pressure test, a worked example where the gauge drops, purging, working pressure, flame check and safety devices.
What the CoC says, the CoC field by field, who signs and who keeps it, explaining the installation to the owner and building your portfolio of evidence.
Siting and the testing order at a glance, frequent mistakes on site, the numbers to have at hand and a checklist for the night before the theory assessment.
At the end of the book: The numbers to have at hand, the testing order on one page and a checklist for the night before the theory assessment.
Exam-style questions on siting, ventilation, testing and the CoC, with the answer and the page that explains it, so you know where you stand before the theory assessment.
Each frequent mistake drawn before and after, from the hose run behind the stove to the cylinder under the window, so you spot it on site before the owner or an inspector does.

Yes. It doesn't explain what a spanner is: it puts what you already do in order, with the distances, tests and CoC drawn, so you can revise for the theory assessment and your portfolio.
It is checked against the current South African edition of SANS 10087-1, the Pressure Equipment Regulations and the Occupational Health and Safety Act 85 of 1993. The edition used is named on the first page, so you can compare it with the copy from your course. Everything is redrawn in our own words: the standard itself is not reproduced.
No. It is independent study material, not issued or endorsed by SAQCC Gas, the SABS, LPGSA or the Department of Employment and Labour.
No. It doesn't register you and doesn't allow you to sign a Certificate of Conformity: only a registered practitioner can. What it adds to your course notes: each topic on one page with its drawing, the distances and clearances on the house drawn from above, the testing order on a single page, and the numbers to have at hand for the night before the theory assessment.
