PRE-INSTALLATON CHECK LIST FOR SINGLE INSTALL
GAS INFORMATION
Gas Volume - Ensure the correct size pipe is used for
the total gas load. If installing more than one re feature,
ensure the correct size pipe is based upon the distance of
the furthest re feature away and the total gas load is for
all gas appliances on that gas line (i.e. re feature, BBQ,
torches, etc.).
Gas Pressure & Type of Gas - What is the gas pressure
being supplied to the re features? Is the re feature(s)
congured for the proper gas type? The AWS gas valve is
shipped gas type specic.
Manual Shut-off/Key Valve - The manual key valve
(supplied) should be installed within 6-feet of the re
feature. Verify proper distance with local and national
codes.
Purging a New Gas Line - Has the gas line been purged
of both air and possible debris? Any gas lines buried
underground must be pressure tested up to 60PSI to
ensure no leaks. After inspection is complete, most
plumbers will release pressure in the line at one location by
opening the manual ball or key valve. It is recommended
to release pressure by opening a ball/key valve associated
with all the re features. Example: There are four re
features on a job, open the rst key valve for a few
seconds, then close it. Then move on to the next key valve
and do the same thing until you have purged the debris out
of all four gas lines.
Injectors/Jets - Fire features using a Firegear Pro Series
brass burner incorporates individual injectors/jets on each
burner leg. All injectors are protected by a injector cover
that is provided with each burner. The injector hole size is
measured by using a numbered drill bit. An injector/jet
limits the amount of gas ow to the burner to ensure the
ame is a safe and reasonable height to not pose a risk to
people or property. Note: The Firegear Pro Series brass
burners DO NOT USE a primary main burner orice like a
standard stainless steel burner. A steel nipple is installed in
place of the primary burner orice.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
Wire Gauge - Is the wire gauge correct? Wiring must be
12AWG or greater (solid or stranded) for all installations.
Note: It is recommended to ll the wire nuts with either
dielectric grease or silicone prior to installing the wire nut.
This will ensure a waterproof connection.
Why GFI circuit? A GFI is a type of circuit breaker which
shuts off electric power when it senses an imbalance
between the outgoing and incoming current. It protects the
house wires and receptacles from overheating and possible
re.
Power Supply - Firegear Outdoors offers one power
supply for use with the FPB re features. The power
supply requires 120VAC power to operate and converts it
to 30VDC to operate the gas valve. DO NOT CONNECT
120VAC DIRECTLY TO THE GAS VALVE WIRES -
DAMAGE WILL OCCUR. The GOE-30VDC is used for
one re feature only - installed 10-feet or greater from a
pool or spa. This power supply has a 3-foot power cord to
plug into 120VAC outlet and a 3-foot leads to connect to the
gas valve on the 30VDC side. Note: The FG-PS-30V320
power supply is optional and required for pool/spa
installations within 5-feet of re feature.
