Gas Information
Fuel –Before making gas connections ensure appliance being installed is compatible with the
available gas type.
Gas Pressure –Proper Input Pressures are required for optimum appliance performance. Gas
line sizing requirements need to be made following NFPA51.
Gas Connection –Have the gas supply line installed in accordance with local building codes, if
any. If not, follow ANSI (Z)223.1. Installation should be done by a qualified installer approved
and/or licensed as required by the locality.

- Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.
- Immediately call your gas supplier. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
- If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
LP Gas Installation Considerations
Due to the fact LP (Propane) Gas is different (heavier) from natural gas there are some slight
differences in the installation procedures. These differences are listed here:
1. Installation of an Air Mixer. Propane is a much more volatile fuel when compared to
natural gas. For this reason an Air Mixer is installed in the inlet of the burner element to lean out
the gas, of which minimized propane soot as well.
2. Drainage/Venting of the bottom of the Fire Feature. Unlike natural gas, LP gas is heavier
than air. Because it is heavier than air any ‘unburned’ LP gas will likely go to the bottom of the
fire feature. Without proper drainage/venting at the bottom of the fire feature LP gas will collect
in the bottom of the fire feature and WILL cause a very hazardous situation. For this reason
venting at the bottom of the fire feature MUST be installed to allow any unburned LP gas to
escape from the bottom of the fire feature thereby eliminating the hazard. Be sure to install two
vents on opposing sides, each with 18 Square inches of ventilation per side.
3. Fire glass media on top of the Fire Pit Ring. It is recommended to use no more than a 2"
thick layer of fire glass media ON TOP of the Burner Element in an LP gas fire feature. The less
media there is on top of the burner element the less obstructions there are which could prevent
LP gas from being ignited at the top of the fire feature. By reducing the depth of the media you
have reduced the chance of unburned LP gas from going to the bottom of the fire feature.
