NATURAL GAS DANGERS AND WARNINGS
Natural gas is flammable and hazardous if handled improperly. Become aware of the
characteristics before using any natural gas product.
Natural Gas Characteristics:
•
Flammable, explosive under pressure, lighter than air and settles in pools in high areas.
•
In its natural state, natural gas has no odor. For your safety, an odorant has been added.
•
Contact with natural gas could burn the skin.
•
Natural gas is extremely flammable and hazardous if handled improperly.
Chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm are created by the combustion of natural gas.
Your natural gas fire pit is designed to operate on natural gas only, at a pressure of seven
inches’ water column (7" W.C.) Check with your gas utility for local gas pressure, because in
some areas natural gas pressure varies. Also, check with your gas company or with local
building codes for instructions to install gas supply line, or call a licensed and qualified
installer.
It is recommended that an ON/OFF manual shut-off valve be installed at the gas supply
source:

Outdoors after the gas line exits outside wall and before quick-disconnect or
before gas supply line enters ground.

Indoors in the branch gas line in an accessible location near the gas supply line.
Pipe sealing compound or pipe thread tape of the type resistant to the action of natural
gas must be used on all male pipe threads. Apply compound or tape to at least the first
three to four threads when making a connection.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION (Continued)
DANGER
This outdoor fire table is for use with natural gas only. The conversion to or attempted use of
Liquid Propane in this out door fire table is dangerous and could result in serious personal
injury, or property damage.

!
Never store or use gasoline or other volatile substance in the vicinity of this fire table.
Natural Gas Connection
Connect a manual shut-off valve to gas supply line. Apply sealing compound or pipe thread tape
of the type resistant to the action of natural gas on all male pipe threads. Connect the end, with
the quick release connector, or the natural gas hose to manual shut-off valve at the gas supply.
The outdoor fire table must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing
the Individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at least equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
NATURAL GAS DANGERS AND WARNINGS (Continued)
During any high pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures in
excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa), the appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system.
WARNING
Burner valves are pre-tested at the factory to operate on natural gas. Do not attempt to
convert or change.

PRE-USE INSTRUCTIONS
Prior to each gas fire table operation, check the hose and
valve for evidence of excessive abrasion or wear through
the visual check hole on the side of the base.
Replace visual check cap prior to operating fire table.
Burner Connections
Make sure the Natural Gas hose and quick disconnect
socket connections are securely fastened to the burner and
the gas supply. If your unit was assembled for you, visually
check the connection between the burner pipe and orifice.
Make sure the burner pipe fits over the orifice.
Please refer to diagram for proper installation.
If the burner pipe does not rest flush to the orifice, please
contact Elementi at 1-909-985-5553 for assistance.
Checking for Leaks
Make a leak check solution by mixing 1-part dishwashing soap with 3
parts water in a spray bottle.
Make sure control knob is “OFF.” Then, turn natural gas on at its
source.
Spray leak solution on valve connections paying particular attention to
the areas indicated by arrows.
If any bubbles appear turn natural gas off, reconnect and
re-test. If you continue to see bubbles after several attempts,
disconnect natural gas source and contact Elementi at 1-909-985-
5553 for assistance.
If no bubbles appear after one-minute turn source
OFF, wipe away solution and proceed.
Check for leaks at these locations
Failure to inspect this connection or follow these instructions could cause a fire
