AWS Sanctuary 2 & 3 Fire Features
REQUIREMENTS
1.
This fire feature is permitted to be placed on a stable, flat combustible surface. The area underneath must be a solid level
surface maintaining clearances according the specifications in this manual on page 4.
2. Refer to the NFPA54 (National Fuel Gas Code) for proper pipe sizing. See Table 4 on page 6.
3.
Determine the model fire feature you are preparing to install (Refer to page 4).
4.
Follow the local code requirements for the gas type being used. This fire feature should be installed in accordance
with local codes and ordinances or in the absence of local codes, with the latest National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1 NFPA54 or CSA B149.1, Natural and Propane Installation Code in Canada.
5. Fire features create high temperatures, it is very important to have any combustibles at a safe distance.
6.
These fire features are designed for
outdoor use only
. Not approved for any indoor use.
7.
This fire feature is designed to have lava rock completely covering the spur burner, so that the burner is not visible.
Do not cover more than 1” above the top of the covered burner. When purchasing Lava Rock use a minimum of 1 to
2-inch diameter as a base to fill the burner pan.
DO NOT COVER THE IGNITION HOOD WITH ANY ROCK OR MEDIA.
8.
Gas lines and fittings must be installed in to the non-combustible structure. All gas connections must be leak tested
before installation of the fire feature. Soapy water leak detection is required before regular use of the fire feature.
9. Do not use material that will absorb moisture over time and will not release this moisture quickly. Moisture can boil
in this material and can rapidly break apart and cause damage or personal injury.
10.
Never leave any other combustible material on top of the fire feature. This could cause unsafe operation of this
system and damage to the component that will not be covered under our warranty.
11.
Ventilation is built into the bottom of each concrete fire feature. No additional vents are required.
WARNING
: DO
NOT BURY THE BOTTOM OF THE CONCRETE BOWL INTO EARTH OR OTHER TYPE OF MEDIA . THIS CAN
OBSTRUCT AIR FLOW VENTILATION AND VOID FIREGEAR WARRANTY.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS OF ALL FIRE FEATURES
IMPORTANT
Installation of Natural or LP gas should be done by a qualified installer, service agency or gas supplier.
The appliance and its manual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of the system at test pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of ½” psig (3.5kPa).
The Sanctuary series features a field serviceable (30VDC) commercial grade outdoor electronic system with a
maximum gas capacity of 290,000 Btu’s. The system features a built-in safety shut-off in case of flame loss and
auto-relight.
It is shipped as a Natural Gas (NG) model only and must be converted if using Propane (LP) gas. The AWS
burner pan comes pre-assembled with the bowl and include a key valve with mounting plate ready to install.
Preparation for the AWS model:
The
Sanctuary 2
requires additional preparation and planning. The gas line and
power must be predetermined before installing. The AWS model requires a 120VAC Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) to be
installed inside the bowl in a weatherproof box before installing the fire pit
(except for the Sanctuary 3)
.
The
Sanctuary 3
is too small to “house” the remote control with weather proof box and the 120VAC GFI outlet. They will
have to be installed somewhere outside the bowl. It is recommended to install the Sanctuary 3 on top of a pedestal then
install the 120VAC GFI power and remote control inside the pedestal.
Ensure you follow all local codes. In the absence of local codes use the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code
NFPA 54 and National Electrical Code (NEC), or NFPA 70. The remote control weatherproof box (supplied) should be
mounted securely in close proximity of the GFI box. The GFI box will power the adapter and the remote control receiver.
