Round Flat Disc Fire Pits

REQUIREMENTS

1. Only non-combustible materials should come in direct contact with any part of the fire pit. Underneath area should be non-

combustible or a flat level combustible surface according to the clearances specified in this manual.

Refer to the NFPA54 (National Fuel Gas Code) for proper pipe sizing. See gas pipe sizing chart on page 7.

3. Determine the size of the round fire pit you are preparing to install (Refer to page 4).
4.

You must provide a round opening out to place the flat disc onto the non-combustible enclosure. Do not exceed the

maximum opening from Table 1, dimension B located on page 4.

5. Follow the local code requirements for the gas type being used. This fire pit should be installed in accordance with

local codes and ordinances or in the absence of local codes, with the latest National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1

NFPA54 or CSA B149.1, Natural and Propane Installation Code in Canada.
6. Fire pits create high temperatures, it is very important to have any combustibles at a safe distance. Refer to page 4.
7. Normal operation of the fire pit is with a battery pack that is supplied with your system (Fig 18). The battery box has

12-feet of black sleeved wire that is to be passed through the junction box provided. This wire should not be cut or

spliced and the junction box can be placed in the facing of the vertical finish of the fire pit, if you place the wire under

ground you should install those wires into an approved protective conduit/sleeve material.
8. Fire pit should never be left unattended while in operation. It should always be a safe distance from all trees and

combustible landscape materials.
10. Construction of the finished fire pit should be stable and solid. From the bottom of the control box that houses the

gas valve and module, it should be a according to specifications on Table #1.

NOTE

Proper drainage is critical to

ensure that water does not damage gas valve and components.

Never install fire pit below grade.

11.

CAUTION: The fire pit enclosure MUST have a minimum ventilation of 18 square inches on each side to keep the

inside of the finished enclosure dry.

We recommend installation of a VENT-KIT-6x12. See accessory section.

12. The insulation square pad provided with the fire pit is to be placed foil up toward the bottom of pan on top of the

valve box.
13. Never fill the cavity under and around the valve box with any material, this is a provided air space necessary for

ventilation.
14. These products are designed for outdoor use only. Not approved for any indoor use.
15. This fire pit is designed to have decorative rock, lava rock/media covering the burner, so the burner is not visible. Optional

concrete logs can be added to consumers taste. Decorative rock is not provided. When purchasing decorative rock use

minimum of 1 to 2-inch diameter rock as a base to fill the burner pan.

DO NOT COVER THE IGNITION HOOD WITH

ANY ROCK OR MEDIA.

16. Gas lines and fittings must be installed in to the non-combustible structure. All gas connections must be leak tested

before installation of the fire pit. Soapy water leak detection is required before regular use of the fire pit.
17. Do not use material that will absorb moisture over time and will not release this moisture quickly. Moisture can boil in this

material and can rapidly break apart and cause damage or personal injury.
18. Never leave any other combustible material on top of the fire pit. This could cause unsafe operation of this system

and damage to the component that will not be covered under the warranty.
