REV. A Page 7
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.
2. Refer to the NFPA54 (National Fuel Gas Code) for proper pipe sizing. Determine the size of the fire pit you are
preparing to install (Refer to page 6, Table 4).
3. Determine the size of the round or square fire pit you are preparing to install (Refer to page 4).
4. You must provide a round or square opening to place the fire pit into the non-combustible enclosure. A minimum
burner pan dimension is listed in Table 1.
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.
7. Do not fill the enclosure with gravel, rock or sand. The enclosure requires free flowing air underneath to keep
enclosure cool, provide ventilation to prevent moisture, and provide an outlet for gas in the case of a gas leak.
8. CAUTION: A minimum of 18 square inches of cross ventilation (opposite sides) is required to keep the
enclosure dry.
9. These products are designed for outdoor use only.
Not approved for any indoor use or any enclosed space.
10. This fire pit is designed to have Firegear Outdoors lava rock or glass media completely covering the burner tube,
so that the burner is not visible. Do not cover more than 1” above the top of burner. Use lava rock a minimum of 1”
diameter as a base to fill the burner pan. DO NOT USE STONE OR RIVER ROCK.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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 our warranty.
14. Ensure proper water drainage is also incorporated into the fire pit enclosure.
