Burning Spur Round and Square Fire Pits with TPSI System
WARNING:
Proper clearances from combustible materials must be maintained from all sides, top and bottom of this
appliance. Use the specifications listed on page 4 for proper clearance to combustibles.
PREPARING A NON-COMBUSTIBLE STRUCTURE
IMPORTANT
Installation of Natural or LP gas should be done by a qualified installer, service agency or gas supplier.
The appliance and its manual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of the system at test pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of ½” psig (3.5kPa).
This appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its manual shutoff valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½” psig (3.5kPa)

HIGH ELEVATION INSTALLATION
This appliance is listed for elevations from 0- 4500 feet in Canada and the
U.S. If elevation exceeds 4500 feet it may be necessary to decrease the
input rating by changing the existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Input
should be reduced 4% for each 1000 feet beyond the 4500 feet above sea
level. Check with your local gas utility for assistance in determining the
proper orifice in your location. In some cases the heating value may
already be reduced and downsizing the orifice may not be necessary.
Refer to NFPA54 Table E.1.1(d) for high altitude orifice sizing.
These fire pits can be installed on a flat, stable surface, away from any combustible materials. Install fire pit on any level,
outdoor non-combustible, flat stable surface or a combustible floor according to the clearances specified in this manual.
NOTE
: Do not place fire pit directly on grass, dirt, or rocks as this may prevent proper ventilation (Fig. 3).
Ensure proper
water drainage is also incorporated into the fire pit enclosure.
HARD PIPING TO FIRE PIT WITHOUT GAS PROXIMITY
NOTE:
Refer to the NFPA54 (National Fuel Gas Code) for proper pipe sizing. See gas line sizing chart on page 6 as a
reference.
1. Turn
OFF
gas supply system.
NOTE
: All gas connections (except for brass to brass) require the following. Clean pipe
threads using either a wire brush or steel wool. Apply pipe sealant to the fittings before making any connection.
2. BE CAREFUL!
Ensure all gas connections are snug, but do not over tighten!
3. Consult a plumber for proper installation to ensure you are providing adequate gas supply for your application.
4. The primary gas shut-off (not supplied) will require a ½” male flared fitting to enable connection of the stainless steel
flex gas line supplied with the fire pit.
5. Do not place an LP tank inside any fire pit enclosure. Locate all propane (LP) tanks outside the enclosure.
6. To prevent performance problems in Propane (LP) fire pits, do not use a Propane tank less than 100lbs. capacity.
ALL PANS OR FLAT DISC’S MUST BE REMOVABLE FOR SERVICE
Pans or disc’s CAN NOT be installed in a manner
to prevent them from being removed for service.
Top coping material or top cap of fire pit MUST NOT overlap onto the pan or disc surface without easily being removed.
Pan lip or disc edge must be unobstructed so it can be lifted out of the fire pit for servicing. We highly recommend the use
of a flex frame kit all installations.
