Depending on the enclosure being used, the key valve can
be installed in various methods. The flange threads onto
the valve as shown and comes with one fitting to attach the
flex gas line that is supplied with the fire pit. The
primary gas line fitting (not supplied) is left up to the
plumber to supply depending on the connection needed for
the installation See Fig. 20.

Note:
A 1¼” x 2” black iron or galvanized coupler/nipple

Before the fire pit is set inside the enclosure, install the 46”
flex connector to the gas valve box and to the manual key
valve.
This system is provided with switch mounted with the key
valve. Wire it as shown in Figs. 23 and 24.
Use dielectric grease on all wire nut connections and
¼
”
connectors to prevent moisture issues from the outdoor
environment.
The AWS system is polarity sensitive. There is a red
sleeve attached to the positive (+) side of the adapter.
When wiring the switch, red wire from the AWS power wire
connects directly to the switch. The red sleeve from the
adapter connects to the other side of the switch. See Figs.
23 and 24 on page 15.
