Metsa Propane Tanks ASME, DOT, NOM DISPENSERS & ACCESORIES

We carry propane tanks, dispensers, and accessories certified to ASME, DOT, and NOM standards, covering the range from small portable cylinders up to large stationary storage tanks. DOT-certified tanks are built to travel — cylinders used on food trucks, forklifts, grills, and other mobile equipment — while ASME-certified tanks are stationary vessels that, once installed and connected, are not intended to be moved. NOM certification is the equivalent standard applied to tanks and equipment sold into the Mexican market. Across the common sizes: a 420-lb vertical cylinder stands about 4 feet 4-1/2 inches tall with a 30-inch diameter and holds roughly 375 liters of LPG, and is typically used for water heaters, fireplaces, pool heaters, and other secondary appliances rather than whole-home heating — up to four cylinders can be manifolded together where a 500-gallon tank isn't practical. A 500-gallon tank measures about 3 feet 10 inches tall, 9 feet 10 inches long, and 38 inches in diameter, holding roughly 1,514 liters, and is a common choice for residential and small commercial heating. A 1,000-gallon tank stands about 4 feet 4 inches tall, runs 15 feet 11 inches long, and 41 inches in diameter, holding roughly 3,028 liters, and is generally reserved for higher-volume commercial or agricultural use. For larger commercial operations, tanks are available from 2,000 up to 60,000 gallons. All stationary tanks require a minimum 10-foot clearance from buildings and property lines per code. Every regulated tank installation also needs a regulator to bring tank pressure down to a usable working pressure, and we stock single-stage, two-stage, and twin-stage regulators along with other dispenser and system accessories.
