Round & Square TFS 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.
2. Refer to the NFPA54 (National Fuel Gas Code) for proper pipe sizing (See Table 4, page 5).
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 cut out to place the fire pit into the non-combustible enclosure. Use the pattern from
the shipping carton for sizing.
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. Normal operation of the fire pit is with a battery pack that is supplied with your system (Fig 4 & 5; pg 8). The battery pack
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.
9. Construction of the finished fire pit should be stable and solid. From the bottom of the valvel box (pg 4) that houses the gas
valve and module, it should be a minimum if of 8-inches to the ground level. See Fig 1. Drainage is critical to ensure that
water does not damage gas valve and components. Never install the fire pit system below grade.
10. CAUTION: A minimum of 18 square inches of cross ventilation (per side) is required to keep the inside of the
enclosure dry. We recommend installation of a VENT-KIT-6x12.
11. Never fill the cavity under and around the valve box with any material, this is a provided air space necessary for
ventilation.
12. These products are designed for outdoor use only. Not approved for any indoor use.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. 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.
