PREPARING A NON-COMBUSTIBLE STRUCTURE
The fire pit can be installed on a flat, stable surface, away from any combustible materials. Install Fire pit on any level,
outdoor non-combustible, flat stable surface or a combustible floor according to the clearances specified in this manual.
NOTE
: Do not place fire pit directly on grass, dirt, or rocks this may prevent proper ventilation Fig. 3. In addition, do not
recess the fire pit into the ground.
Ensure proper water drainage is also incorporated underneath the fire pit
enclosure.
HARD PIPING TO FIRE PIT WITHOUT GAS PROXIMITY
NOTE:
Refer to the NFPA54 (National Fuel Gas Code) for proper pipe sizing. See gas line sizing chart on page 6 as a
reference.
1. Turn
OFF
gas supply system.
NOTE
: All gas connections (except for brass to brass) require the following. Clean pipe
threads using either a wire brush or steel wool. Apply pipe sealant to the fittings before making any connection.
2. Ensure all gas connections are snug, but do not over tighten!
BE CAREFUL!
3. Consult a plumber for proper installation to ensure you are providing adequate gas supply for your application.
4. The primary gas shut-off (not supplied) will require a ½” male flared fitting to enable connection of the stainless steel
flex gas line supplied with the fire pit (see Fig. 12 page 10).
5. Do not place an LP tank inside any fire pit enclosure. Locate all propane (LP) tanks outside the enclosure.
6. To prevent performance problems in Propane (LP) fire pits, do not use a Propane tank less than 100lbs. capacity.
IMPORTANT
Installation of Natural or LP gas should be done by a qualified installer, service agency or gas supplier.
This appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its manual shutoff valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½” psi (3.5kPa).
VENTILATION FOR NON-COMBUSTIBLE ENCLOSURE
Fire pits are subjected to many outdoor elements such as rain,
snow, wind, heat or cold.
A minimum of 18 square inches
(per side) of cross ventilation is required to keep the
components in good working order.
Use Fig. 3 as guide to
assist to incorporate proper ventilation.

HIGH ELEVATION INSTALLATION
This appliance is listed for elevations from 0-4500 feet in Canada
and the U.S. If elevation exceeds 4500 feet it may be necessary
to decrease the input rating by changing the existing burner orifice
to a smaller size. Input should be reduced 4% for each 1000 feet
beyond the 4500 feet above sea level. Check with your local gas
utility for assistance in determining the proper orifice in your
location. In some cases the heating value may already be
reduced and downsizing the orifice may not be necessary.
WARNING:
Proper clearances from combustible materials must be maintained from all sides, top and bottom of this
appliance. Use the specifications listed in Table 1 and Fig. 2 for proper clearance to combustibles.
