3. Selecting the Location

All fire pits and systems are designed and intended for outdoor use only.

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.

Both children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperatures and should stay away to
avoid burns and clothing ignition.

Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the area of fire pit.

Clothing or other flammable materials should not be placed on or near fire pit.

Fire pits create very high temperatures - Combustibles must be located far enough away that there is no risk of
ignition.

IMPORTANT:
It is recommended that material such as granite, marble or other dense stone be kept away
from heat and especially flame due to risk of cracking. Manufacturer is not responsible for damage.


Select a location with good drainage and allows easy access for installation and maintenance of 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
.
4. Construction of the Fire Pit Enclosure

Fire pit must have a gas shutoff on the outside of the exterior of the fire pit to allow for emergency shut off
and maintenance. The gas shutoff should not be used to adjust flame height.

Fuel line sizing is the responsibility of the installer and must be able to supply the stated maximum Btu for the
product- refer to product label on fire pit.

Use non-combustible materials and construction for gas supply, power and enclosure.

Adequate drainage for enclosure must be provided to prevent water damage to fire pit.

IMPORTANT: The enclosure must incorporate 1 vent on at least two opposing sides (2 vents total) at a
minimum size of 18 sq. inches of total free area each (Example: 3”x 6” or larger). ). Installation of the vents
in the mid to lower area of the enclosure is recommended. Ventilation allows for heat and or residual fuel to
escape. Failure to properly vent enclosure may result in the fire-pit overheating or explosion. Some
enclosures may require more ventilation based on material, size, and extended use.
The vent may work as a
drain as well when installed at bottom sidewall to prevent water build up.

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 2” under the valve box for proper
ventilation and drainage.

The fire pit assembly should be recessed a minimum of 2” from the top of the enclosure to protect flame from
being blown out.

The enclosure must be constructed on a stable surface. The weight of the fire pit must be supported by the
pan and not by any control/valve box.
o
Make sure that the structure is level. We recommend the use of the installation collar (optional)
that may be mortared into the surround.

HPC recommends that the pan lip is recessed on trough (linear), and large round products as illustrated below.
