•This product is fueled by propane gas. Propane gas is
invisible, odorless, and flammable. An odorant is
normally added to help detect leaks and can be
described as a “rotten egg” smell. The odorant can fade
over time so leaking gas is not always detectable by
smell alone.
•Propane gas is heavier than air and leaking propane
will sink to the lowest level possible. It can ignite by
ignition sources including matches, lighters, sparks or
open flames of any kind many feet away from the
original leak. Use only propane gas set up for vapor
withdrawal.
•Store or use propane gas in compliance with local
ordinances and codes or with ANSI/NFPA 58. Turn off
propane when not in use.

Connect NG
1. A professionally-installed shut-off valve between the supply
piping and the socket is recommended, but not required, by the
National Fuel Gas Code. Socket connection must be made outdoors.
2. Coat the gas supply pipe nipple with gas resistant pipe dope or approved teflon tape. Screw socket onto gas
supply pipe (house gas source), and wrench-tighten.
3. Pull back the sleeve on the quick disconnect socket and insert the unattached end of the gas hose into the
socket. Release the sleeve and continue pushing the hose into the socket until the sleeve snaps into the locked
position.
4. When the quick disconnect socket and the gas hose are connected, a valve in the socket opens automatically
to permit full gas flow. When the gas hose is disconnected, the valve in the socket instantly and positively shuts
off the flow of gas, the grill can be disconnected from the gas source by disconnecting the gas hose from the
quick disconnect socket. The socket should be left attached to the gas source (hose piping).
Disconnect NG
With proper assembly, the gas hose cannot be removed without pushing the quick disconnect sleeve back. To
disconnect, push sleeve back and pull plug out of sleeve (this automatically shuts off gas).

LEAK TESTING
WARNING: Before using this outdoor fire pit, make sure you have read, understand and
are following all information provided in the Dangers and Warnings. Failure to follow
those instructions can cause death ,serious injury or property damage.
WARNING Never use your fire pit without leak testing all gas connections, hoses and propane tank.
DANGER To prevent fire or explosion hazard:
♦ DO NOT smoke or permit ignition sources in the area while conducting a leak test.
♦ Perform test OUTDOORS in a well-ventilated area that is protected from the wind.
♦ Never perform a leak test with a match or open flame.
♦ Never perform a leak test while the fire pit is in use or while the fire pit is still hot.
WHEN TO PERFORM A LEAK TEST:
● After assembling your fire pit and before lighting for the first time, even if purchased fully-assembled.
● Every time the LP gas cylinder is refilled, exchanged or if any of the gas components are disconnected or
replaced.
● Any time your fire pit has been moved.
● At least once per year or if your fire pit has not been used for more than 60 days.
CAUTION Strong odors, colds, sinus congestion, etc. May prevent the detection of propane
by smell. Use caution and common sense when testing for leaks.
Note: The leak test must be performed in an area that has adequate lighting in order to see if bubbles are
developing and not in a windy or noisy area so larger leaks can be detected by smell or sound.
1.Create a mixture of 50% water and 50% liquid dishwashing soap.
2.Ensure all control knobs are set to the ‘OFF’position.
3.Turn on the gas at the cylinder valve. Turn the cylinder valve knob counter-clockwise until fully
opened. If you hear a rushing sound or smell gas, turn the gas off. Tighten any leaking
connections. If leak is detected at connection nut and tightening does not stop leak, re-inspect
propane tank rubber seal.
4.Apply the soapy water mixture to the following:
A Supply tank(cylinder) welds. B Connection nut to tank valve.
C Back side of connection nut to brass nipple. D Brass nipple connection into regulator.
E Regulator connections to gas supply hoses. F Hose connection to gas manifold.
G The full length of gas supply hose. H Tank valve to cylinder.
5.Check each place listed(A-H) for growing bubbles, which indicates a leak. Large leaks may not be
detected by bubbles but should produce a rushing sound or gas smell.
6.Turn off gas supply at cylinder valve.
7.Turn on control knobs to release gas pressure in hose.
8.Turn control knobs to ‘OFF’position.
9.Tighten any leaking connections. If leak is detected at connection nut and tightening does not
stop leak, re-inspect propane tank rubber seal.
10.Repeat soapy water test until no leaks are detected.
11.Turn off gas supply at cylinder valve until you are ready to use your fire pit.
12.Wash off soapy residue with cold water and towel dry.
CAUTION: Natural Gas leak testing is similar to LP Gas leak testing, the different is you need to
apply the soapy water mixture to the gas supply pipe nipple.
