APPROVED FLEXIBLE GAS HOSE
A.G.A DESIGN-CERTIFIED MANUAL
SHUTOFF VALVE WITH 1/8” NPT TAP
3” MINIMUM
CAP PIPE NIPPLE TEE JOINT
FROM GAS METER (5” W.C.
TO 10.5” W.C. PRESSURE)
SEDIMENT TRAP
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Installation must include a manual shutoff valve, union,
and plugged 1/8” NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach
for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from
the appliance.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads. This will
prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess
sealant in pipe could result in a clogged burner injector.
Install sediment trap in supply line as shown below.
Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for cleaning
and trapped matter is not likely to freeze.
A sediment trap prevents moisture and contaminants
from entering the Outdoor Fire Pit controls. If a sediment
trap is not installed, or is installed incorrectly, the unit may
not work properly.
CHECKING GAS CONNECTION
WARNING: Test all gas piping and connections
for leaks after installing or servicing. Correct all leaks
immediately.
WARNING: Never use an open flame to check
for a leak. Apply a mixture of liquid soap and water
to all joints. Bubbles forming on joints while the
gas is running indicate a leak. Correct all leaks at
immediately.
Test Pressures in Excess Of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa)
This appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa)
This appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5
kPa).
CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY
WARNING:
A qualified service person must
connect the appliance to the gas
supply. Follow all local codes.
CAUTION:
Use only new black iron or steel pipe.
Internally tinned copper tubing may be
used in certain areas. Use pipe of 1/2”
diameter or greater to allow proper
gas volume to Outdoor Fire Pit Burner.
If pipe is too small, undue loss of
pressure will occur.
