Selecting the Location 

 

WARNING:

 

All fire pits, match lit kits, spark ignition, safety pilot and electronic ignition systems are designed and intended for 

outdoor use only.

 

   

WARNING:

  For electronic ignition models there must be an electrical shut off ( wall switch or breaker ) on the exterior of the fire 

pit or on adjacent wall to allow for emergency shutdown and maintenance. 

WARNING

:

  All fire pits must have a gas shutoff on the outside of the exterior of the fire pit to allow for emergency shut off and 

maintenance. 

WARNING:

 Select a location where the fire pit can be attended during operation.  Never leave an operating fire pit unattended or 

by someone not familiar with its operation or emergency shut off locations.   

WARNING:

 Both children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperatures and should stay away to avoid 

burns and clothing ignition.  

WARNING:

 Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the area of fire pit.  

WARNING:

 Clothing or other flammable materials should not be placed on or near fire pit. 

WARNING:

 

Fire pits create very high temperatures - Combustibles must be located far enough away that there is no risk of 

ignition.   

IMPORTANT

:  

It is recommended that material such as granite, marble or other dense stone be kept away from heat and 

especially flame due to risk of cracking. Manufacturer is not responsible for damage.

    Overhead Clearance                               See Figure 1 and 2 
 

 

Select a location with good drainage.  

 

 

Choose a location that allows easy access for installation and maintenance of the fire pit. 

 

 

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

Construction of the Enclosure 

 

 

WARNING:

  For electronic ignition models there must be an electrical shut off ( wall switch or breaker ) on the exterior of the fire 

pit or on adjacent wall to allow for emergency shutdown and maintenance.  Verify correct 110VAC or 24VAC Supply. 

WARNING

:

  All fire pits must have a gas shutoff on the outside of the exterior of the fire pit to allow for emergency shut off and 

maintenance. 

WARNING:

 

Always use proper materials and construction for gas supply, power and enclosure. 

WARNING:

 

The enclosure must incorporate 1 vent on at least two opposing sides (2 vents total) at a 

minimum size of 18 sq. inches total free area each (Example: 3”x 6” or larger).  Installation of the vents in 
the mid to lower area of the enclosure is recommended.   Ventilation allows for heat and or residual fuel to 
escape.  Failure to properly vent enclosure may result in the fire-pit overheating or explosion  Overheating 
could lead to heat damage to internal components.  Some enclosures may require more ventilation based on 
material, size, and extended use.

 

The vent may work as a drain as well when installed at bottom sidewall to 

prevent water build up.

 

WARNING:

 

The interior void space of the enclosure surrounding the valve box cannot be filled with any material (gravel, crushed 

rock, concrete, etc.)- It is a requirement to have a minimum of 2” under the valve box for proper ventilation and drainage. 

WARNING:

 

Select materials that are non-combustible in both initial installations as well as over time. 

WARNING:

  

The fire pit assembly should be recessed a minimum of 2.25” from the top of the enclosure to protect flame from 

being blown out. Some areas may require more- 4 to 6” is not uncommon. 

WARRANTY REQUIREMENT

: The enclosure must be constructed on a stable surface.  The weight of the fire pit must be 

supported by the pan and not by any control/valve box.  For electronic ignition models the control/valve box must be above grade 
with adequate drainage to prevent water damage to the controls inside the box.  

 

 

Make sure that the structure is level.  We recommend the use of the installation collar (optional) that may be mortared 
into the surround.   

 

HPC recommends that the pan lip is recessed on trough (linear), and large round products as illustrated below.  HPC 
cannot guarantee the lip on all of our products will be perfectly flat and will not warp due to heat.   

 

 
 
 
 

IMPORTANT: 

Product must be accessible for service.
