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.
