• Hand turn the manual gas control valve. Never use tools. If the valve will not turn by hand, do not try to repair it. Call a
certified gas technician. The use of force or any self-attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
Natural Gas Warnings
• Natural gas fire features are set up to operate on natural gas only, at a pressure of seven inches of water column (7" WC).
Check with your gas utility for local gas pressure, because in some areas natural gas pressure varies. Also, check with your
gas company or with local building codes for instructions to install a gas supply line, or call a licensed and qualified installer.
• The maximum inlet natural gas pressure for this outdoor fire feature is 10.5 inch WC
• The minimum inlet natural gas pressure for this outdoor fire feature is 3.5 inch WC
• It is recommended that an ON/OFF manual shut-off valve be installed at the gas supply source:
– Outdoors; after the gas line exits outside wall and before quick-disconnect or before gas supply line enters ground.
– Indoors; in the branch gas line in an accessible location near the gas supply line.
• Pipe sealing compound or pipe thread tape of the type resistant to the action of natural gas must be used on all male pipe
threads. Apply compound or tape to at least the first three to four threads when making a connection.
• Never store or use gasoline or other volatile substance in the vicinity of this fire feature.
HOSE AND REGULATOR ASSEMBLY AND REPLACEMENT
1. This fire feature comes equipped with a standard LP gas hose and regulator including the appliance side connection for
a CGA No 791 Cylinder Connection Device. The LP gas hose and regulator supplied with this fire feature must be used.
Only a hose and regulator specified by manufacturer can be used for replacement.
a. The CGA No 791 connection incorporates a magnetic flow-limiting device that acts to limit the flow of gas if a leak is
detected between the regulator and the burner valve.
b. If the burner valve is open prior to the LP gas cylinder service valve being opened, the connection will interpret this
free flow of gas to be a leak.
c. The connection safety feature will reduce gas flow from the regulator to the appliance to a minimal level.
d. Be sure that the burner control valve is closed prior to opening the LP gas cylinder service valve to ensure that the
connection flow-limiting device is not triggered mistakenly.
e. If the connection flow-limiting device is triggered mistakenly, close the LP gas cylinder service valve, and the burner
valve, wait 10 seconds to allow the device to reset, open the cylinder service valve, and then open the burner valve
and light as per lighting instructions.
2. Be sure to protect the hose from any hot surfaces. Serious danger may result if the hose contacts any hot surface.
3. Regular maintenance of the hose and regulator:
a. Inspect the hose before each use of the fire feature. If the hose shows signs of cracks, abrasions, cuts, or damage of
any kind, do not operate the appliance. Fix or replace the hose as required before using the appliance. For assistance
with repair or replacement of the hose, call your gas supplier. Use only replacement parts from the manufacturer.
b. Inspect the seal inside the CGA No 791 service valve on the LP gas cylinder when replacing the cylinder or at least
once per year. If there is any indication of damage, have the seal replaced by a certified gas dealer before operating
the appliance.
4. Do not use tools to tighten the CGA No 791 connection nut onto the LP gas cylinder service valve. Hand tighten only.
5. Be careful to not cross the threads on the connection when tightening the CGA No 791 connection on to the LP gas
cylinder service valve.
6. A “leak test” should always be performed after attaching the connection to the LP gas cylinder service valve. (see
“Checking for Leaks” section of this manual on page 12).
7. For the connection of the hose and regulator to the LP tank, refer to the Hose and Regulator Assembly section above.
Fire Media Warning
1. Do not light or use this fire feature if fire media is wet. Ensure fire media is completely dry before lighting. Intense heat
can cause wet fire media to explode and they could hit someone causing injury.
2. Please keep away from the fire feature for at least 20 minutes during initial start-up as fire media could retain some
moisture from manufacturing and shipping.
