Drop in Pan - Match Throw Fire Pits
IMPORTANT
Installation of Natural or LP gas should be done by a qualified installer, service agency or gas supplier.
This appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its manual shutoff valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½” psig (3.5kPa)
Description:
These fire pits are designed to be installed into a non-combustible enclosure. They are a “drop-in” style
system to make installation quick and convenient. Media (not supplied) is required inside the burner pan for operation
(See page 9).
WARNING:
Proper clearances from combustible materials must be maintained from all sides, top and bottom of this
appliance. Use the specifications listed on pages 4 and 5 for proper clearance to combustibles.
Firegear Outdoors fire pits are constructed and tested to follow the rigid ANSI standards for gas appliances and
manufactured safely providing dependable and certified products. If these fire pits are not installed according to the
installation manual (i.e. not providing ventilation, not providing proper drainage, installing fire pits below grade or
modifying the existing products from a normal installation) Firegear Outdoors cannot be responsible if the product does
not operate as designed.
Modifying the fire pit directly out of the carton will void the warranty and nullify the product listing it was certified for.
Before you consider creating your own custom design with a certified product ensure you contact Firegear Outdoors to
consult the installation before proceeding. If you move forward and modify a product without consulting, Firegear
Outdoors cannot be responsible if the product does not operate as designed.
PREPARING A NON-COMBUSTIBLE STRUCTURE
The fire pit can be installed on a flat, stable surface, away from any combustible materials. Install fire pit on any level,
outdoor non-combustible, flat stable surface or a combustible floor according to the clearances specified in this manual.
NOTE
: Do not place fire pit directly on grass, dirt, or rocks this may prevent proper ventilation.
Ensure proper water
drainage is also incorporated into the fire pit enclosure.
HARD PIPING TO FIRE PIT WITHOUT GAS PROXIMITY
NOTE:
Refer to the NFPA54 (National Fuel Gas Code) for proper pipe sizing. See gas line sizing chart on page 8 as a
reference.
1. Turn
OFF
gas supply system.
NOTE
: All gas connections (except for brass to brass) require the following. Clean pipe
threads using either a wire brush or steel wool. Apply pipe sealant to the fittings before making any connection.
BE CAREFUL!
Ensure all gas connections are snug, but do not over tighten!
2. Extend the gas supply system using minimum of ¾” black iron pipe or an approved flexible gas line from existing
house supply. This can be accomplished by teeing off or tapping into a gas line connection. Install necessary pipe for the
distance required and then install a manual shut-off valve at the exterior house wall. If pipe is to pass through a foundation
or house wall, make sure to re-seal the area around the pipe with weather sealant.
3. The primary gas shut-off (not supplied) will require a ⅜” male flared fitting to enable connection of the stainless steel
flex gas line supplied with the fire pit (see Fig. 7 page 10).
