INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

FOR QUALIFIED GAS INSTALLER

Unpacking

 

Carefully undo strapping to separate loose parts and remove all plastic 
protective sheeting. 

 

Confirm that all components for the firepit are present, and accounted for.

Positioning and Sizing 
 

build up a masonry or steel platform to the customers design, with a suitable  

 

space to drop the firepit into, so that it rests on the surrounding rim. 

 

Provide ventilation underneath the platform for the primary air to the burner,   

 

by means of a hole, with a minimum size of 100mm².

Connect up according to SANS 10087-1 
 

Connect a copper pipe from the gas bottle via a regulator complying with  

 

SANS 1237, to the Ø8 compression fitting on the control valve, taking into 

 

account the distance from the gas tank, to calculate the size of the copper  

 pipe.

Setting up

1.  Insert the burner with the venturi facing the gas jet.
2.  Fill the burner with the special black radiant Ceramic Ash or Fireglass.
3.  Spread the Ceramic Ash or Fireglass evenly around the burner. 

NOTE:

 Should the burner become dislodged, replace it making sure that it 

rests flat on the lip of the designated platform, without any gaps between it 
and the plate.

4.  Place 

Gas Logs

 in a tee-pee pattern with large hollow centre, or,  in a hash(#) 

pattern, spread across the burner evenly, allowing for about 50mm gaps 
between layers.   

Use only the number of Ceramic Ash and Gas Logs, or Fireglass supplied.

Testing and Commissioning 
 

Turn on the gas supply and test for leaks with soapy water. 

 

Ensure that the 

WORKING PRESSURE is 2,8 kPa at the control valve. 

 

*See checklist for more detail

  

Briefing the customer

 

 

All instructions must be handed over to the user for safekeeping. Instruct the 

 

customer how to turn the gas on and off and how to light and control the fire.

 

After commissioning the unit the customer should be instructed on the safe  

 

use of it and the need for regular servicing. Frequency of service depends on  

 

usage, but must be carried out at the first sign of malfunction and at least  

 

once in 2 years.
