ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
FOR FIREPITS WITH LED LIGHTS ONLY
CAUTION
All wiring should be done by a qualified electrician and
shall be in compliance with all local, city and state building
codes. Before making the electrical connection, make sure
that the main power supply is disconnected. The firepit,
when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance
with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 (Latest Edition).
Wiring to the junction box must be metal clad or enclosed in a
conduit and must be approved for outdoor use. A connector for
the junction box to accommodate 1/2-in. conduit is supplied in the
instruction envelope. The firepit receptacle must be connected
to an external GFI protected outlet installed near the firepit.
See
Figure 16.
Route the wiring from the external GFI outlet through the conduit
to the junction box. Leave approximately 6-in. of wire in the
junction box for connection.
Retrieve the receptacle and cover from the instruction envelope.
Attach the black wire to the gold screw and white wire to the
silver screw of the receptacle. The ground wire should be
attached to the green ground screw on the junction box and the
receptacle.
See Figure 17.
Place receptacle in position and attach cover plate. Make sure the
cover plate doors open upward. Be sure to test the receptacle to
ensure the GFI circuit functions properly. Plug transformer power
cord into receptacle, and close the unused receptacle door.

Figure 17.
