Recertification....
Visual Inspection good for 5 yrs then repeat again and again and again
1. Damage to the cylinder’s exterior including dents; bulges; cuts; or cracks on the cylinder’s surface,
or to welds; and any evidence of physical abuse; fire; or heat damage.
2. Detrimental rust, corrosion, or pitting on the cylinder, particularly on the bottom.
3. Absence of/damage to a cylinder footring, cylinder neckring (collar), or valve cover.
4. A leaking or defective valve or leaking or defective pressure relief device.
Cheaper then buying NEW Cylinders
Depending on State/Location recert could be $7 up to $35 (rip off)
Check your local area for a BULK Propane Vendor (Suburban, Ferrellgas, Amerigas etc) Tractor Supply may do it also
Recert requirement WAS 12 yrs after date of MFG....legislation was passed/post-poned to change that to 10 yrs after MFG date
Many places use the 10 yr requirement
