5. Hand tighten the
coupler clockwise
until it comes to
a full stop. Firmly
tighten by hand
only.
6. Place the tank
inside the fire pit
housing. Make
sure the hose
does not touch
any part of the
burner drum
housing.
The fire pit is to be used only with the 20 pound, vertical
standing vapor withdrawal type tank. This fire pit is designed
to operate on LP (Liquefied Propane) gas only. The 20 lb LP
cylinder used with this fire pit must conform to the following
requirements:
• Type 1 Connections
• Diameter - 12” (30.5cm)
• Height - 18” (45.7cm)
• Maximum capacity of 20 pounds
The gas cylinder used must include a collar to protect the
cylinder valve. The cylinder supply system must be arranged for
vapor withdrawal.
Follow the instructions stated on gas cylinder tanks when filling
or transporting tanks. Failure to do so could result in problems
relating to overfilling, excessive venting release of gas and to
regulator freezing. Never fill the cylinder more than 80 percent
full.
CAUTION
In the connection process, the HVR side of the connection
will seal on the back check in the valve, resulting in a slight
resistance. The connection requires about one-half to three
quarters additional turn to complete connection. Any fuel
supply cylinder used must be constructed and marked in
accordance with specifications for propane cylinders of the
U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)CFR 49 or CAN/
CSA B339.
Do not allow dirt or foreign material to get into or onto tank
connection when it is not attached to the fuel supply system.
Use the protective cap provided. Place dust cap on cylinder
valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the
type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided
with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may
result in leakage of propane. Cylinders must be filled before
initial use. All handling, transport, filling and storage of LP
gas cylinders must be in accordance with NFPA 58 Storage
and Handling of Liquid Petroleum Gasses, or CAN/CSA b149.2
Propane Installation Code.
CAUTION
The gas pressure regulator provided with this appliance
must be used. This regulator is set for an outlet pressure
of 11” H20. Replacement pressure regulators and
hose assemblies must be those specified by the fire pit
manufacturer. See rating sticker on side of fire pit for
regulator model number. The regulator/hose assembly
should be handled carefully to prevent contamination by
foreign objects and dirt. The assembly should be inspected
before use and any dirt or contamination should be wiped
off. The hose assembly must be replaced prior to the
appliance being used if there is any evidence of excessive
abrasion or wear, or if the hose is damaged. In order to
insure proper operation, any replacement of the regulator
assembly must be with parts authorized by manufacturer.
Valve/pressure regulators are factory set to the correct
operating pressures. No attempts should be made to adjust
these settings.
Cylinders must be suitably tied down during transport. Do not
place any other items on top of cylinders at any time.
Cylinders are not to be exposed to excessive temperatures or
high heat. Refer to the data plate for model identification.
Units are factory equipped for use on only one type of fuel.
These units cannot be, and should not be used on other types
of fuels. Doing so can cause severe damage to the unit and
the installation area and the added risk of serious injury. Any
attempt to operate this product on fuels for which it is not
designed voids the manufacturer’s warranty.
This unit is not to be utilized with a non-self-contained LP-gas
supply system.
CHECKING FOR LEAKS
1. After all connections are completed, check all connections
and fittings for leaks with a soap solution.
2. With all valves closed, apply the leak check solution (50/50
mix of dish washing soap detergent and water) to all gas
carrying connections and fittings.
3. Open tank valve. Presence of bubbles at areas of wet
solution indicates a gas leak. If leaks are detected or you
smell or hear gas, shut off the valve and repair the leak or
replace the defective part.
Do not use the fire pit until all leaks are corrected.
CAUTION
The burner must be inspected before each use of the
appliance. If it is evident that the burner is damaged it
must be replaced before the appliance is put into use. The
burner must be replaced only by factory authorized parts as
specified by the manufacturer.
