A.
Before installing this Outdoor Fire Pit, check “Minimum Clearance to Combustibles”
(Fig. 1 on page 2).
MINIMUM CLEARANCES
must be maintained when you install this
Outdoor Fire Pit.
THERE MUST BE AT LEAST 36”
(91.5 cm) from the perimeter of the fire pit to
any combustible sidewall, or material and
AT LEAST 80”
to ceiling.
B.
The Outdoor Fire Pit is for outdoor use only.
DO NOT
install or use this appliance inside
a building, garage, or any other enclosed area including recreational vehicles and/or
boats. T
his unit must be installed in such a manner that proper air ventilation is maintained
without obstruction at all times, and during all weather conditions.
C.
CHECK GAS TYPE
(natural gas or propane): The gas supply you intend to use must be
the same as that intended for use with this fire pit.
This fire pit comes setup for use with
Natural Gas.
If the gas supply is different, you
MUST have the Fire Pit converted to the gas
type you intend to use
, by a qualified, professional installer
with the included propane
conversion kit
. If you are unsure, contact your dealer for assistance.
D.
DO NOT USE IF GAS PRESSURE IS LOWER THAN THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT OR EXCEEDS THE
MAXIMUM.
E.
FOR NATURAL GAS
: The minimum inlet gas supply pressure for purposes of input adjustment
is 5 inches (127mm) water column and maximum inlet gas supply pressure is 10 inches (254
water column.
FOR PROPANE:
The minimum inlet gas supply pressure for purposes of input
adjustment is 8
inches (203 mm) water column and the maximum inlet gas
supply pressure is 13 inches
(330 mm) water column.
DO NOT INSTALL THIS UNIT IF MINIMUM PRESSURE IS NOT AVAILABLE OR IF MAXIMUM
PRESSURE IS EXCEEDED.

Gas piping system must be sized to provide minimum inlet pressure at the maximum flow
rate (BTU/hr). Undue pressure loss will occur if the pipe is too small or the run is too long.
G.
H.
For installations at elevations above 2,000 ft., contact your local dealer or gas supplier
before installing as input ratings will be reduced approximately 4% for each 1,000 ft. above
sea level. Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code.
Contact the dealer for the required orifice.
If the Outdoor Fire Pit is connected to Natural Gas, its main gas valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system
at test pressures in excess of 2 psi.
I.
If the Outdoor Fire Pit is connected to Natural Gas, it must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of
the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 2 psi.
J.
INSTALLER NOTE:
This unit should be installed so that it can be removed at a later date for
service.
K.
GAS SUPPLY PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS
Apply only joint compounds that are resistant to all gasses on all male pipe fittings. Make
sure to tighten every joint securely.
Do not use pipe joint compound to connect flare
fittings.
SAFETY NOTICE:
An external on/off valve in the gas line is required for safety when your
Outdoor Fire Pit is not in use. It also provides for convenient maintenance and repair.
