FPB Pro Spur Burners Fire Pits with AWS System
PREPARING A NON-COMBUSTIBLE STRUCTURE
IMPORTANT
Installation of Natural or LP gas should be done by a
qualified installer, service agency or gas supplier.
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” psi (3.5kPa)
VENTILATION FOR NON-COMBUSTIBLE
ENCLOSURE
Fire features are subjected to many outdoor elements
such as rain, snow, wind, heat or cold.
A minimum of 18
square inches (opposite sides) of cross ventilation is
required to keep the components in good working
order.
Use Fig. 3 on as guide to assist to incorporate
proper ventilation.
HARD PIPING TO FIRE FEATURE WITHOUT
GAS PROXIMITY
NOTE:
Refer to the NFPA54 (National Fuel Gas Code) for
proper pipe sizing. See gas line sizing chart on page 7 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. Ensure all gas connections are snug, but do not over
tighten!
BE CAREFUL!
3. Install necessary pipe for the distance required and a
manual shut-off valve at the exterior house wall. Check
with local codes for proper procedures. If pipe is to
pass through a foundation or house wall, make sure
to seal the area around the pipe with weather sealant.
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 (not supplied) with the fire feature
(see Fig. 5 page 9).
5. Do not place an LP tank inside any fire pit enclosure.
Locate all Liquid Propane (LP) tanks outside the
enclosure.
6. To prevent performance problems with LP gas fire pits,
do not use a LP tank less than 100lbs. capacity.
DESCRIPTION
This is a field serviceable (30VDC)
commercial grade outdoor electronic system with a
maximum gas capacity of 290,000 Btu’s. The system
features a built-in safety shut-off in case of flame loss and
auto-relight. It is shipped as a Natural Gas (NG) model only
and must be converted if using Propane (LP) gas. This
system must be installed with a burner pan, burner and
orifice and installed into an non-combustible enclosure.
The “All Weather System” (AWS) requires a 120VAC
Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) to be installed in a
weatherproof box. A power supply must be selected for
each installation.
In the absence of local codes use the latest edition of the
National Fuel Gas Code NFPA54 and National Electrical
Code (NEC), or NFPA 70. The weatherproof box (supplied)
should be mounted securely within 2-feet or less of the GFI
box. The GFI box will provide the 120VAC for the power
supply.

LEVEL FLAT SURFACE
Install fire feature on any
level, outdoor non-combustible, flat stable surface or a
combustible floor according to the clearances specified in
this manual for a Firegear burner.
NOTE
: Depending on
venting locations, do not place fire pit directly on grass,
dirt, or rocks that could prevent proper ventilation.
Ensure
proper water drainage is also incorporated into the fire
feature enclosure.
