THE MINIMUM CLEARANCE FROM COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION IS 12” TOP BY 6” SIDE.
POST INSTALLATION (for standard burial steel or aluminum post):
1. Obtain a 3” outside diameter post with notch for valve access at top.
2. Install ¼”OD refrigeration type copper tubing inside post with ¼” flare nuts at each end.
Tubing should be coiled 2½ times at top and protrude approximately 5” through hole at bottom of post.
3. If supplied, insert ladder rest through ladder rest holes and attach ornamental balls to each end.
4. Dig a hole 21” deep x 12” wide.
5. If using ladder rest, position post with ladder rest facing desired direction.
6. Attach the ¼” flare nut at the bottom of the post to the gas supply and tighten the flare nut clockwise.
No sealants are necessary.
7. Secure post in plumb position and pour concrete around post to just below the level of the line access hole.
Back fill.
8. If using a cast pedestal base: Remove the (4) screws and nuts from each side and place each piece of the base
around the bottom of the post. Secure it together using the (4) screws and nuts. Push the base approximately
1–2” into the ground and secure in place using the back fill from the post. If the base is not secured in the
ground, the freeze and thaw of the ground can cause the base to rise and fall, causing the finish of the post to
scratch.
LAMP INSTALLATION:
1. Attach the ¼” flare nut at the top of the post to the gas valve inside the lamp collar. Tighten well.
2. Lower lamp head onto post or stud, aligning valve with access slot in top of post or stud. Check!
Make sure hole is lined up with the valve stem, allowing you access to the valve.
3. Tighten set screw(s) in collar of lamp so lamp is well secured to post.
4. To install glass: Follow glass installation instructions on pages 3-4. *Note: Install all but one panel.
5. Be certain the lamp valve is in the OFF position (3 o’clock position) before turning on the main gas supply.
6. Leaving lamp valve in OFF position, turn on main gas supply and check all connections for leaks using a
soapy solution. NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS! Tighten any leaky
connections and recheck for leaks.
7. If using mantles, install mantles per instructions on packaging before turning lamp valve on.
If using open flame, turn lamp valve ON (12 o’clock position) with a flathead screwdriver and slowly move
flame toward burner tip until it ignites.
8. Install last pane of glass.
9. For gas mantle, leave valve full open. For open flame, adjust flame to ½ - ¾ open.

CAUTION
TURN GAS SUPPLY OFF AND WAIT FOR LAMP TO COOL BEFORE PERFORMING ANY REPAIRS.
REMOVE AND CLEAN GLASS AND REPLACE MANTLES (IF APPLICABLE) AS NECESSARY.
INVERTED MANTLE CHANGING/LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Insert flathead screwdriver through the access hole in the lower collar of the lamp. Turn screwdriver to the right
(to the 3:00 position) to turn off the gas.
2. Let the glass cool approximately 15-20 minutes.
3. Gently remove the glass by pushing the panel up with your fingers, then pull backward (toward you) and lower
the panel from the bottom of the frame.
4. Carefully remove the old mantles from the ceramic burner tips by lifting the ceramic rings up, give ¼ turn, and
pull down. Discard the old mantles and any debris lying in the bottom of the lamp.
5. Remove the new mantles from the packaging and install onto the ceramic burner tips by lifting the ceramic rings
up and giving ¼ turn. *If using soft mantles, gently pull down to shape the mantles.*
6. With the gas still OFF, light the mantles by applying direct flame to the mantles; this is necessary to burn off the
protective coating.
7. Once the protective coating burns off and the light goes out, insert a flathead screwdriver through the access hole
in the lower collar of the lamp. Apply direct flame to the mantles with a lighter or a match –be sure not to touch
the mantles, as they are very fragile –and slowly turn the screwdriver to the left (towards the 12:00 position).
8. Once lit, turn the gas on full (to the 12:00 position) and replace the glass panel.
OPEN FLAME BURNER LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Insert flathead screwdriver through the access hole in the lower collar of the lamp. Turn screwdriver to the right
(to the 3:00 position) to turn off the gas.
2. Let the glass cool approximately 15-20 minutes.
3. Gently remove the glass by pushing the panel up with your fingers, then pull backward (toward you) and lower
the panel from the bottom of the frame.
4. Turn lamp valve ON (to the 12:00 position) with a flathead screwdriver and slowly move flame toward burner tip
until it ignites.
5. Once lit, replace the glass panel and adjust flame to ½ - ¾ open by SLOWLY turning the lamp valve towards the
3:00 position. Turning the valve too fast or too far can case the flame to extinguish.

GLASS INSTALLATION
*IMPORTANT: ALWAYS INSTALL THE WIDE PIECES OF GLASS FIRST!*
1. With the long side facing up and down, slide the glass through the smaller side of the lamp (Figure A).
2. Once the glass is inside the lamp, angle it (Figure B) so it is below the glass guide tabs on the inside top panel
(Figure C).
3. Slide the glass up under the guide tabs at the top of the lamp until it won’t go any further. It needs to be pushed up
so it is high enough above the bottom glass tabs (Figure D).
4. Gently slide the glass back down behind the guide tabs at the bottom of the lamp and let it rest on the ledge
(Figure E).
5. Repeat these instructions for inserting the glass on the opposite side of the lamp. Then follow the instructions on
the next page for installing the side pieces of glass.

2. Make sure the glass is slid up high enough so it is above the glass tab at the bottom of the lamp (Figure G).
3. Slide the glass behind the glass tab at the bottom of the lamp and rest it on the lamp frame (Figure H).
4. Repeat these instructions for inserting the glass on the opposite side of the lamp.
**REMOVING THE GLASS PANES**
When removing the glass, always remove the small pieces first by sliding the glass UP into the top of the lamp and
gently pull the bottom of the glass OUT and DOWN.
Remove the wide pieces by sliding the glass UP into the top of the lamp and pulling the bottom OUT and DOWN far
enough to clear the top glass tabs (see figure C) at an angle. Then slide the glass out through the smaller side of the
lamp.
