Square Flat Disc Fire Pits
WARNING:
Proper clearances from combustible materials must be maintained from all sides, top and bottom of this
appliance. Use the specifications listed on pages 4 and 5 for proper clearance to combustibles.
PREPARING A NON-COMBUSTIBLE STRUCTURE
The fire pit 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. In the absence of NFPA54 booklet, you
can use gas pipe sizing chart on page 6.
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.
BE CAREFUL!
Ensure all gas connections are snug, but do not over tighten!
2. 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.
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” psig (3.5kPa)
VENTILATION FOR NON-COMBUSTIBLE ENCLOSURE
Fire pits are subjected to many outdoor elements such as rain,
snow, wind, heat or cold.
A minimum of 18 square inches of
cross ventilation (2 sides) is required to keep the
components in good working order.
Use Fig. 3 as guide to
assist to incorporate proper ventilation.

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.
