Selecting the Location 

 

WARNING: 

The TK is designed for outdoor use only

HEARTH PRODUCTS CONTROLS CO

. must be 

notified of any other use.   

 

 

 

WARNING: 

The TK creates very high temperatures-it is very important that combustibles and people are 

kept at safe distances. 

 

WARNING: 

 For installation of the 24vac powered TK, it is required to install a wall switch or breaker for 

the TK electrical outlet away from the TK to prevent unwanted ignition of the fire pit. 

 

WARNING: 

 The TK location must accommodate a gas shut off in an accessible area.  

 

 

The gas line should be a minimum of 1/2” or larger based on the number of TK’s or other fire 
features and the distance from the energy source to the TK. Consult your local professional for 
proper gas line sizing.

 

 

 

To enjoy your TK, select a location that allows for sufficient clearance from combustible 
materials.  

 

 

Choose a location that allows easy access for installation and maintenance of the TK. Make sure 
that trees and shrubbery are well clear around and above the TK.  

 

 

Pick a location that allows sufficient horizontal room to enjoy the TK while allowing a safe 
distance from the heat and flame.

 

 

The TK is designed to be installed on a post.  It is recommended that the TK flame is a minimum 
of 84” off the ground.  This is a guideline.  Installers should follow local code.  

 

 

The unit needs to be installed in a manner that ensures that pedestrian traffic cannot get closer than 
a 48” perimeter around the flame. 

 

 

Select a location where the TK can be attended during operation.  Never leave an operating TK 
unattended or by someone not familiar with its operation or emergency shut off locations.

 

 

Wooden or solid surfaces such as granite or marble must be located far enough away that they do 
not reach a temperature of more than 100 degrees F plus ambient air temperature.   

Example: If surrounding air temperature is 70, the wood surface temperature must stay at 
or below 170 degrees F.

Site Preparation 

 

WARNING: 

 Ensure sufficient clearance from all combustibles and pedestrian traffic as outlined in 

“Selecting The Location”. 
 

               WARNING: 

  Class II, 24VAC, 4 amps (14 gauge wire) must be supplied to the TK head  and able to be  

               switched on and off from a  remote location to allows for easy access or emergency.    

POWER MUST  

               BE TURNED OFF WHEN NOT IN USE. 

 
IMPORTANT:  Design site so the gas connection and 24vac electric supply are accessible after installation 
for maintenance.     
 
IMPORTANT:   If flex hose is used care must be taken not to drop the hose down the post.  This can be 
especially problematic if the post is buried in concrete. 
 
IMPORTANT:   It is not recommended to mortar the post in place.  This may make servicing the unit 
difficult.  If the post will be mortared in place it may be advantageous to run solid pipe through the post to 
prevent accidentally dropping the flex hose down the post. 
 
 IMPORTANT:  Determine installation method from Figure 1 or plan another method following the 
guidelines of  this manual.
