Gas Line Requirements
!
The gas line must be installed in accordance with all local codes or, in the absence of
local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. Consult your local gas
supplier or propane gas dealer for code regulations and recommended procedures.
!
The fountain and gas control valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig. For
pressures less than 1/2 psig, isolate the gas supply piping by closing the manual shut-off
valve.
!
Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior to and after starting the
fountain flames. Leak checks may be conducted using soapy water at all connections.
Fuel
This fountain is designed either for natural gas or for propane (but not for both). Check the sticker on the
gas control valve to make sure the correct fuel is used.
Portable Propane Cylinder
For ease of operation, it is recommended that the fountain be directly connected to a
permanent fuel supply source, such as a large fixed LP cylinder, or a municipal gas supply
line. However, if a portable propane cylinder is used, a qualified installer must provide and
install compatible cylinder connection devices, regulators and cylinders that have capacity in
excess of 69,000 Btu/hr. Choose a suitable size propane cylinder. Operating time of the
fountain is limited by the size of the cylinder. Portable propane cylinder safety must be strictly
observed.
Portable Propane Cylinder Safety
If a portable propane gas cylinder is used, it must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if
not, follow ANSI Z223.1 and NFPA 54(88). It should always be handled, stored, and transported with
extreme caution in a secured upright position. The propane gas cylinder must be constructed and marked
in accordance with the specifications for LP-gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation.
Never attempt to use or repair a propane gas cylinder that has been damaged. Never attempt to use or
repair a cylinder with a faulty or damaged valve outlet. A cylinder that has been dropped, dented, or
otherwise damaged must be replaced. A propane gas cylinder should never be transported in the
passenger area of a vehicle. Keep cylinders out of direct sunlight and never apply any other source of
direct heat to them.
When refilling your cylinder, always insist on a reputable, qualified gas dealer. Your propane gas cylinder
is filled by weight. The cylinder must be provided with a listed overfilling prevention device. The propane
gas cylinder should never exceed eighty (80%) percent of its weight limit and any spare cylinders must
not be stored under or near this appliance or a fire causing death or serious injury may occur. If the
cylinder is not completely empty, the gas dealer must make necessary adjustments to ensure it is not
overfilled. Never use an overfilled Propane gas cylinder.
Propane gas cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Disconnected cylinders must
have a threaded valve plug tightly installed and must not be stored in any building, garage, or other
enclosed area. Flammable materials must not be stored in the cylinder enclosure. Always store Propane
cylinders in a secured upright position, out of the reach of children.
