Each Tiki Torch Cone is individually packaged to prevent physical damage to the cone assembly. Any claims of damage
must be made immediately upon receipt of goods.
The Tiki Torch Cones are designed to be installed on rigid piping by qualified gas fitters and according to local codes. In
the absence of local codes, use the National Gas Code ANSI Z223.1. Any piping used should be securely fastened to the
building or structure with adequate clamps and fasteners. It is recommended that each individual head have a manual
shut off valve installed up stream and be mounted, so that in the closed position, the handle is across the piping run.
These Tiki Torch Cones should not be installed closer than 3’ from combustible materials or in accordance with local code
standards for open flame installations.
Specifications:
#48 Orifice = 20,000 BTU on natural gas based on 7”WC pressure/0.6 specific gravity/1000 BTU CV gas.

These instructions shall be left with the appliance for the consumer to retain for future reference.
NOTE: To convert L.P. Tiki Torches to Natural Gas use, change orifice #54 to #48. Install 2 of the 3/16” machine plugs in
the primary air intake openings, which will render all openings for primary air Closed..
INSTALLATION NOTES
1. When installing the Tiki Torch heads on an angle, make sure the drainage holes in the bottom of the cone are at
the most bottom position of the cone.
2. Torch heads should be mounted no less than 6’ from ground level. More in public areas if there is a chance for
any public to come in contact with the flame.
3. If installed in a public area, it is recommended that a lockable gas valve be used.
4. All pipe connections should be pressure or soap tested as described in local codes.
MAINTENACE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and
liquids.
2. Visually check the burner for soot or blockage on a periodic basis, clean if required.
3. The Burner and orifice should be serviced once a year or after long periods of none usage.
4. This is done by removing the complete cone head from the piping, by putting a wrench on the hex nut #1 on the
piping and the hex nut #2 close to the base of the cone. Turn anti clock wise and the two hex nuts will separate
to expose the orifice jet in the remaining hex nut on the piping. Remove the orifice jet and inspect, clean with
proper orifice cleaner if required. (Often insects will nest in there over long period of non use.)

5. Remove the 6/32 stainless steel screw and lift up the stainless steel burner screen. Inspect for blockage or
corrosion. Clean or replace if required. Using #54 drill bit for LP and #48 drill bit for NG, clean the burner
orifices, if required.
6. Re-assemble – it is recommended to replace the 1” x 1/16 buna o-ring between the hex nuts. Call or use the
manufactures web site for a dealer nearest to you.
7. Fire unit and observe the flame. The flame should be a lazy yellow flame with some blue at the base and no
visible smoke.
