What is an OPD valve?
The OPD (Overfill Prevention Devices) valve will help insure against the overfilling of propane cylinders. The OPD valve is designed to shut off the flow into the cylinders when the liquid level in the cylinder reaches the approximate 80% full level.
The new regulation requires an OPD valve installed on every new cylinder designed for 4 lbs. through 40 lbs. propane capacity made after September 30,1998. An exemption is given for lift truck cylinders and cylinders identified and used for industrial welding and cutting gases.
After September30, 1998, it also requires the retrofit of all the 4 lbs. through 40 lbs. propane cylinders presently in service to the new OPD valves when they are requalified for continued service.
The regulation also states that effective on April 1, 2002, no 4lbs. through 40 lbs. propane cylinder shall be filled unless it is equipped with a listed OPD valve.

The ideal combustion ratio is expressed as 24:1 , or 24 parts of air to 1 part of propane. At this ratio, the chances for incomplete combustion to occur are at their lowest, therefore, carbon monoxide (CO) production will also be the lowest.
