Refer
to
the
corresponding
section
below
for
set

All
fire
features
must
have
clearance
to
combustible
surface
of
4ft
on
sides

3.2
Initial
Set
‐
Up
All
gas
set
‐
up
and
installation
should
be
done
by
a
licensed
gas
professional.
All
electrical/wiring
set
‐
up
and
installation
should
be
done
by
a
licensed
electrician/contractor.
The
fire
feature
will
require
both
gas
and
electrical
power.
Make
sure
gas
and
electricity
is
turned
off
before
installing
pipes
and
wires.
Install
the
control
panel
and
gas
piping
as
shown
in
Figure
1:
Natural
Gas,
Figure
2:
Propane
Gas.
Note:
Piping
and
fire
bowl/
fire
pit
construction
is
different
for
natural
gas
and
propane
gas.
Internal
gas
lines
must
be
clean
and
free
from
any
dirt,
debris,
or
contamination.
1.
The
gas
piping
and
electrical
conduit
must
be
installed
underground
between
the
control
panel/gas
meter
and
the
fire
feature.
Please
consult
with
a
gas
professional
for
proper
gas
pipe
and
fitting
sizing.
Using
smaller
piping
over
long
lengths
will
result
in
a
diminished
flame
due
to
pressure
drop/piping
resistance.
2.
Maintain
good
piping
practice
by
keeping
pipe
length
and
elbows
to
a
minimum
to
eliminate
unnecessary
pressure
drops.
IMPORTANT
:
Corrugated
flex
gas
lines
should
not
be
used
underground
as
permanent
piping.
Rigid
pipe
should
always
be
used
for
permanent
installation.
3.
The
gas
piping
must
be
reduced
to
3/4
″

with
the
means
to
shut
off
the
gas
supply
from
the
gas
meter.
4.
Install
a
3/4
″
to
1/2”
reducer
at

valve
between
the
elbow
and
the
reducer
for
future
maintenance.
Test
gas
piping
for
leaks.
Note:
The
gas

electrical
connection
should
be
located
at
or
near
the
center
of
each
fire
bowl/table.
For
