codes and ordinances or in the absence of local codes, with the latest National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 NFPA54 or
CSAB149.1, Natural and Propane Installation Code in Canada.
6.
Fire Pits create high temperatures, it is very important to have any combustibles at a safe distance.
7.
Normal operation of the Fire Pit is with a battery box that is supplied with your system (Fig 4). The battery box has 12-
feet of black sleeved wire that is to be passed through the junction box provided. This wire should not be cut or spliced and
the junction box can be placed in the facing of the vertical finish of the fire pit, if you place the wire under ground you
should install those wires into an approved protective conduit/sleeve material.

National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 for installation of this electrical outlet. A breaker on wall switch with approved out
door outlet must be used to insure safety to this Fire Pit. When not in use the breaker should be in the OFF position.
9.
Fire pit should never be left unattended while in operation. It should always be a safe distance from all trees and
combustible landscape materials.
10.
Construction of the finished fire pit should be stable and solid. From the bottom of the control box that houses the gas
valve and module, it should be a minimum if of 4-inches to the ground level. See figure #1. Drainage is critical to ensure
that water does not damage and valve components. Never install the fire ring system below grade.
