Disclaimer: Btu listings are based on 7.0”WC for Natural Gas and 11.0”WC

(Not to be used in an enclosed space)

REV. 5-7-14 Page 4
WARNING: Proper clearances from combustible materials must be maintained from all sides, top and bottom of this
appliance. Use the specications listed on page 3 for proper clearance to combustibles.
PREPARING A NON-COMBUSTIBLE STRUCTURE
The re pit can be installed on a at, stable surface, away from any combustible materials. Install Fire pit on any level,
outdoor non-combustible, at stable surface or a combustible oor according to the clearances specied in this manual.
NOTE: Do not place re pit directly on grass, dirt, or rocks this may prevent proper ventilation (Fig.1, pg. 3). Ensure
proper water drainage is also incorporated into the re pit enclosure.
HARD PIPING TO Fire pit WITHOUT GAS PROXIMITY
NOTE: We recommend using 3/4” black iron pipe; however please refer to the NFPA54 (National Fuel Gas Code) for
proper pipe sizing when exceeding 20-feet in length for re pits rated above 100,000 Btu’s.
1. Turn OFF gas supply system. NOTE: All gas connections (except for brass to brass) require the following. Clean pipe
threads using either a wire brush or steel wool. Apply pipe sealant to the ttings before making any connection.
BE CAREFUL! Ensure all gas connections are snug, but do not over tighten!
2. Extend the gas supply system using minimum of ¾” black iron pipe or an approved exible gas line from existing
house supply. This can be accomplished by teeing off or tapping into a gas line connection. Install necessary pipe for the
distance required and then install a manual shut-off valve at the exterior house wall. If pipe is to pass through a foundation
or house wall, make sure to re-seal the area around the pipe with weather sealant.
3. The primary gas shut-off (not supplied) will require a ½” male ared tting to enable connection of the stainless steel
ex gas line supplied with the re pit (see gure 5 page 6).
IMPORTANT
Installation of Natural or LP gas should be done by a qualied installer, service agency or gas supplier.
This appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its manual shutoff valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½” psig (3.5kPa)
VENTILATION FOR NON-COMBUSTIBLE ENCLOSURE
Fire pits are subjected to many outdoor elements such as rain,
snow, wind, heat or cold. A minimum of 18 square inches of
cross ventilation (2 sides) is required to keep the
components in good working order. Use gure 3 as guide
to assist to incorporate proper ventilation.

HIGH ELEVATION INSTALLATION
This appliance is listed for elevations from 0- 4500 feet in
Canada and the U.S. If elevation exceeds 4500 feet it may be
necessary to decrease the input rating by changing the
existing burner orice to a smaller size. Input should be
reduced 4% for each 1000 feet beyond the 4500 feet above
sea level. Check with your local gas utility for assistance in
determining the proper orice in your location. In some cases
the heating value may already be reduced and downsizing the
orice may not be necessary.
MT Burning Spur Fire Pits

REQUIREMENTS
1. Only non-combustible materials should come in direct contact with any part of the re pit. Underneath area should
be non-combustible or a at level combustible surface according to the clearances specied in this manual..
2. We recommend using 3/4” black iron pipe; however please refer to the NFPA54 (National Fuel Gas Code) for
proper pipe sizing when exceeding 20-feet in length for re pits rated above 100,000 Btu’s.
3. Determine the size of the round or square re pit you are preparing to install (Refer to page 3).
4. You must provide a round or square opening out to place the re pit into the non-combustible enclosure.
Do not exceed the maximum opening from Table 1, dimension B.
5. Follow the local code requirements for the gas type being used. This re pit should be installed in accordance with
local codes and ordinances or in the absence of local codes, with the latest National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1
NFPA54 or CSA B149.1, Natural and Propane Installation Code in Canada.
6. Fire pits create high temperatures, it is very important to have any combustibles at a safe distance.
7. CAUTION: A minimum of 18 square inches of cross ventilation (per side) is required to keep the enclosure
dry.
8. These products are designed for outdoor use only. Not approved for any indoor use.
9. This re pit is designed to have lava rock completely covering the spur burner, so that the burner is not visible. Do
not cover more than 1” above the top of the covered burner. When purchasing lava rock use 1” diameter as a base
to ll the burner pan.
10. Gas lines and ttings must be installed in to the non-combustible structure. All gas connections must be leak tested
before installation of the re pit. Soapy water leak detection is required before regular use of the re pit.
11. Do not use material that will absorb moisture over time and will not release this moisture quickly. Moisture can boil
in this material and can rapidly break apart and cause damage or personal injury.
12. Never leave any other combustible material on top of the re pit. This could cause unsafe operation of this system
and damage to the component that will not be covered under our warranty.
13. Ensure proper water drainage is also incorporated into the re pit enclosure.

INSTALLING KEY VALVE
The key valve contents: 1- key valve, 1- key and 1- ange. (See gure 4). The valve requires a 1¼” round clearance hole
in the non-combustible enclosure wall. See the instructions supplied with the key valve for more specic details. Note: Be
sure to leak test all tting before operation. Figure 5 shows an example of a typical installation.

simultaneously apply the long burning match or Butane lighter as close to the end
burner as possible to light the re pit.
4. Gas should ignite within 10 seconds or less. If re pit does not light within 10 seconds
turn key clockwise to turn OFF the gas supply. Ensure there is not too much media on
top of the burner that might inhibit gas ow and try again in 5-minutes.
TURNING OFF FIRE PIT
1. Insert key into shut-off valve and secure into square end.
2. Turn key clockwise until it stops.

FIRE PIT MAINTENANCE
1. The re pit should be inspected and cleaned before initial use at least annually by a qualied eld service person.
2. Any component that is found faulty must be replaced with an approved component.
3. Any tampering or modifying with the re pit is dangerous and voids all warranties.
4. During winter months in cold climates and various seasons operation the re pit may be affected by weather
conditions. It is recommended to use a ventilated cover overtop of your re pit to protect it from humid/rainy weather
conditions when not in use. Heavy rains/downpours could affect the re pit operation if not covered; if this occurs
ensure you allow the re pit time to dry out before attempting to operate. NOTE: If a combustible type cover is used
over the re pit when not in use be sure to remove it before operation to prevent a severe safety hazard.
5. Over time galvanized or stainless steel parts can discolor when heated, usually a golden or brown hue. This
discoloration is normal and does not affect the performance of the appliance.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Symptom Remedy
Fire pit won’t light 1. Bleed gas line.
2. Ensure all gas supply lines are turned ON.
3. Ensure there is not too much media overtop of burner; it can inhibit gas from owing.
4. Check gas pressure.
Low ame 1. Ensure the base media is at least 1-inch in diameter and top media is no more than 1-inch over
top of burner.
2. Ensure all shut-off valves and key valve is fully open. See page 7; gure 6
3. Check gas pressure.
Water in my re pit 1. Excess dust/sand material from media may be blocking the weep holes to relieve water.
Remove all media and unplug weep holes. Clean or install new media free of dust and dirt.
2. Ensure re pit enclosure has proper drainage for water and proper ventilation to dry out.
