IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
-INSTALLATION AND PREPARATION SAFETY GUIDELINES
1.
Before installing this outdoor firepit, check “Minimum Clearance to Combustibles” on page 2.
MINIMUM CLEARANCES
must be maintained when you install this outdoor firepit.
THERE
MUST BE AT LEAST 24”
from the side of appliance to any combustible materials.
2. The outdoor firepit 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.
This unit must
be installed in such a manner that proper air ventilation is maintained without obstruction.
At all times, and during all weather conditions.
3.
CHECK GAS TYPE
(natural gas or propane): The gas supply you intend to use may not be the
same as that stated on your outdoor firepit rating plate.
THIS FIREPIT IS CONSTRUCTED FOR
USE WITH PROPANE GAS.
If the gas supply is different, or if
you wish to change to natural
gas, you MUST have the firepit converted (method described on page 8) to the gas type
you intend to use, by a qualified, professional installer.
If you are unsure, contact your dealer
for assistance.
4. DO NOT USE IF GAS PRESSURE IS LOWER THAN THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT OR
EXCEEDS THE MAXIMUM.
5. FOR NATURAL GAS:
The minimum inlet gas supply pressure for purposes of input adjustment
is
5 inches
water column and maximum inlet gas supply pressure is
10 inches
water column.
FOR PROPANE:
The minimum inlet gas supply pressure for purposes of input adjustment is
8
inches
water column and the maximum inlet gas supply pressure is
13 inches
water column.
6. 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
7. For installations at elevations above 2,000 ft., contact your local dealer or gas supplier before
installing as input ratings should be reduced approximately 4% for each 1,000 ft. above sea level.
Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code.
Contact the factory for the required orifice
.
8. The outdoor firepit and 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 ½ psig. This is
accomplished by closing the gas supply line valve, as required by NFPA 54, section 5-54.
9. The outdoor firepit must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its equipment
shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal
to or less than ½ psig.
10. INSTALLER NOTE: This unit should be installed so that it can be removed at a later date
for service.
11. GAS SUPPLY PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS
Apply only joint compounds that are resistant to all
gasses on all male pipe fittings.
12. DO NOT BURN SOLID FUELS OF ANY KIND IN THIS APPLIANCE.
