GAS REQUIREMENTS
Your fire feature is set-up from the factory for use with one of the two fuel types below. Before making gas
connections, ensure that the appliance being installed is compatible with the available gas type.
LIQUID PROPANE (LPG)
Propane appliances are set-up from the factory for use with a 20 pound (5 gallon) portable BBQ style supply cylinder with
a ANSI/CGA-V-1-1977, CSA B96 connection. The propane supply cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance
with the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.)
Specifications for LP-Gas Cylinders
or the
Standard for Cylinders,
Spheres and Tube for Transportation of Dangerous Goods
CAN/CSA-B339, as applicable; Provided with a listed overfilling
prevention device; And provided with a cylinder connection device compatible with the connection for the appliance.
When connecting to a portable gas cylinder, the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with LP models must be
used. Replacement pressure regulators and hose assemblies must be those specified in the parts list in this manual.
Minimum inlet gas supply pressure is 25 psi. Maximum inlet gas supply pressure is 250 psi.
Never use a propane cylinder with a damaged body, valve, collar or footing. Dented or rusted propane cylinders may be
hazardous and should be checked by your propane gas supplier.
When storing propane cylinders, they must be stored in an outdoor location out of reach of children. Never store tanks
in an enclosed environment, in direct sunlight or near a source of heat or combustion. Propane cylinders should have a
dust cap installed when being stored.
If connecting to a fixed piping system, the supply hose can be replaced with a quick connect style hose if it complies with
the standard for
Quick Disconnect Devices for Gas Fuel Appliances
ANSI Z21.41
•
CSA6.9. There MUST be a pressure
regulator with a maximum output of pressure of 14” W.C. installed in-line.
When an appliance is for connection to a fixed piping system, the installation must conform with local codes, or in the
absence of local codes with the
National Fuel Gas Code
, ANSI Z223.1
•
NFPA 54;
National Fuel Gas Code; Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Code
, CSA B149.1; or
Propane Storage and Handling Code
, CSA B149.2, as applicable; Therefore, It
is recommended to have a certified gas fitter install this product when connecting to a fixed piping system.
NATURAL GAS (NG)
The installation of natural gas appliances must conform with local codes or in the absence of local codes, to the
National
Fuel Gas Code
, ANSI Z223.1 NFPA 54:
National Fuel Gas Code: Natural Gas Propane Installation Code
, CSA B149.1; or
Propane Storage and Handling Code
, CSA B146.2. as applicable. Natural gas connections must be performed by a licensed
contractor or local gas company representative.
Minimum inlet gas supply pressure is 3.5 inches water column. Maximum inlet gas pressure is 10.5 inches water column.
When an appliance is for connection to a fixed piping system, the installation must conform with local codes, or in the
absence of local codes with the
National Fuel Gas Code
, ANSI Z223.1
•
NFPA 54;
National Fuel Gas Code; Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Code
, CSA B149.1; or
Propane Storage and Handling Code
, CSA B149.2, as applicable; Therefore, It
is recommended to have a certified gas fitter install this product when connecting to a fixed piping system. Ensure that
the service supplying the appliance is fitted with a conveniently located manual shut off valve in a location with easy
access.
This appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
