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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
When setting up the fire pit and
tank, it is recommended to have
the tank and fire pit on a line
perpendicular to the wind direction.
The gas hose/regulator assembly
should be totally extended to the
maximum distance so that the hose
is straight and the tank is as far from
the fire pit as possible. LP tanks
are intended for operation in the
upright position only. Care should
be taken to protect the fuel supply
hose from damage from either foot
or vehicle traffic. If the fire pit is not
in use, the gas must be turned off at
the supply cylinder and the cylinder
should be disconnected from the fire
pit. storage of the fire pit indoors
CAUTION
The gas pressure regulator
provided with this appliance
must be used. This regulator
is set for an outlet pressure
of 0.5 psi. 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.
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.
