True or False: An LPG locker is required for the storage of an unconnected (reserve) LPG cylinder.

The statement is false because the ABYC standards stipulate specific requirements regarding the storage of LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) cylinders. An unconnected LPG cylinder—meaning it is not hooked up to an appliance—does not require an LPG locker according to ABYC regulations.

However, while it is not mandatory to store an unconnected cylinder in a locker, the cylinder still must be stored in a safe area that is ventilated to prevent the accumulation of gas in case of a leak. The standards emphasize proper storage to ensure safety during operation, but the stringent requirements of an LPG locker are specifically for connected systems or when large quantities of LPG are being stored.

Understanding the purpose of LPG lockers is crucial; they're designed to contain potential leaks and to protect the gas systems aboard from external environmental factors. By keeping an unconnected cylinder stored in a safe location, compliance with safety practices can still be maintained without necessitating a dedicated LPG locker.
