EASY GAS DOWN UNDER
Australian International Design Award 2010

About the design

Good design is as much about what you don’t see as what you do see. EasyGas DownUnder™ is a case in point.

EasyGas DownUnder is an LPG storage system specially designed for underground installation, both residential and commercial. The product consists of a two-piece polyethylene exterior canister, a hot dipped galvanised steel 90kg capacity cylinder, a special automatic fill limiting valve and a fire resistant lid. EGDU is the first underground LPG storage system designed for residential and light commercial applications.

The use of recycled and recyclable materials was a design imperative. The Carbon Offset offer was also fundamental.
