LIQUID PROPANE USAGE IN A FLARE FIREPLACE
The Flare Fireplace can operate and fire using Natural Gas (Default) or Liquid Propane gas. If your installation requires the
fireplace to operate using Liquid Propane gas, make sure only to use the Flare Fireplaces liquid propane conversion kit.
Depending on your fireplace ignition system, LPG conversion kit may include the following:
•
LPG burner orifices
•
Pilot LPG orifices
•
SIT Valve LPG Conversion Kit
NEVER OPERATE A FIREPLACE ORDERED FOR NATURAL GAS WITH LP GAS UNLESS CONVERTED BY A
CERTIFIED FIREPLACE TECHNICIAN. USE ONLY FLARE FIREPLACE LP CONVERSION KIT. ALWAYS MEASURE
GAS INLET PRESSURE AND OUTLET PRESSURE POST CONVERSION
Your Fireplace may be shipped to support Liquid Propane Gas. Check your Flare Fireplaces gas rating plate at the back of your valve
to confirm the gas type.

NOTICE
Flare Fireplaces does offer the ability to run your fireplace with a liquid propane tank though there are certain
limitations this fuel type presents when compared to the usage of natural gas. Liquid propane burns more
efficiently and hotter than natural gas so to
accommodate this increase in heat we must use smaller orifices to achieve a
lower BTU that can cause your flame to appear smaller than on a unit run on natural gas. Flame height on Flare Fireplaces using
Liquid Propane is roughly 4-
6” in height
because of this adjustment.
