The steps listed as
WARRANTY REQUIREMENT
must be strictly followed to qualify for product
warranty
. Warranty will be void if not followed.
1)
SELECTING THE LOCATION:
WARNING:
COMPLETE FIRE PITS ARE DESIGNED FOR
OUTDOOR USE.
HEARTH PRODUCTS
CONTROLS CO
. MUST BE NOTIFIED OF ANY OTHER USE. THIS PRODUCT MUST BE USED ONLY
IN A FULLY VENTED (DAMPER FULLY OPEN IF INDOORS) AREA AND GLASS DOORS FULLY
OPEN (IF INDOORS).
WARNING:
FIRE PITS CREATE VERY HIGH TEMPERATURES- IT IS VERY IMPORTANT
THAT COMBUSTIBLES BE KEPT AT SAFE DISTANCES.
•
WARRANTY REQUIREMENT
: For installation of 110vac powered control systems, it is
required to install a wall switch or breaker for the fire pit electrical outlet away from the enclosure
to prevent unauthorized ignition of the fire pit.
•
WARRANTY REQUIREMENT
: The fire pit location must accommodate a gas shut off outside
of fire pit enclosure. The gas line should be a minimum of 3/4” or larger based on fire pit size.
•
To enjoy your fire pit, select a well drained location that allows for sufficient clearance from
combustible materials.
•
Choose a location that allows easy access for installation and maintenance of the fire pit. Make
sure that trees and shrubbery are well clear around and above the fire pit.
•
Pick a location that allows sufficient horizontal room to enjoy the fire pit while allowing a safe
distance from the heat and flame.
•
Select a location where the fire pit can be attended during operation. Never leave an operating fire
pit unattended or by someone not familiar with its operation or emergency shut off locations.
Wooden or solid surfaces such as granite or marble must be located far enough away that
they do not reach a temperature of more than 100 degrees F plus ambient air temperature.
Example
: If surrounding air temperature is 70, the wood surface temperature must stay at or
below 170 degrees F.

2)
CONSTRUCTION OF THE ENCLOSURE:
WARNING:
THERE MUST BE AN ELECTRICAL (WALL SWITCH OR BREAKER) AND GAS
SHUTOFF ON THE EXTERIOR OF THE FIRE PIT TO ALLOW FOR EASY ACCESS FOR SHUTDOWN
OR IN THE CASE OF AN EMERGENCY.
WARNING:
ALWAYS USE PROPER MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION FOR GAS SUPPLY,
POWER, AND ENCLOSURE.
•
WARRANTY REQUIREMENT
: The enclosure must be constructed on a stable surface. Make
sure that the fire pit is high enough that the control box is above the grade to prevent water
damage to the controls inside the box.
NEVER
install a fire pit below ground level. Drainage
must be provided for the enclosure to prevent water accumulation leading to damage to
components in the valve box.
•
WARRANTY REQUIREMENT
: The enclosure must incorporate (2) vents on at least one
side at a minimum size of
18 sq. inches each
(Example: 3”x 6” or larger) to allow heat within the
enclosure to escape from void around valve box. Failure to do so will result in the fire pit
automatically shutting down when internal valve box temperature reaches 175º F. This could
lead
to heat damage to internal components.
Some enclosures may require more ventilation based
on material, size, and extended use.
This vent may work as a drain as well to prevent water
build up in enclosure.
•
WARRANTY REQUIREMENT
: The interior void space of the enclosure surrounding the
valve box cannot be filled with any material (gravel, crushed rock, concrete, etc.)- It is a
requirement to have a
minimum of 6”
under the valve box for proper ventilation.
•
Select materials that are non-combustible in both initial installation as well as over time.
•
Make sure that the structure is level. We recommend the use of the installation collar (optional)
that may be mortared into the surround.
