Table 3. Gas Pressures

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
Install re 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. 3, pg. 5). 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 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 9 page 7).
IMPORTANT
Installation of Natural or LP gas should be done by a qualied installer, service agency or gas supplier.
The appliance and its manual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of the system at test pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of ½” psig (3.5kPa).
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.

TMS Burning Spur Fire pits

REQUIREMENTS
1. Only non-combustible materials should come in direct contact with any part of the re pit. If the area underneath should is
a at level combustible surface according to the clearances specied in this manual on page 3.
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 4).
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 us minimum of 1-inch
diameter as a base to ll the burner pan. DO NOT COVER THE IGNITION HOOD WITH ANY ROCK OR MEDIA.
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.
INSTALLATION OF FIRE PIT INTO AN APPROVED ENCLOSURE
REV. 5-7-14 Page 5
TMS Burning Spur Fire pits
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 above 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.

REV. 5-7-14 Page 6
TMS Burning Spur Fire pits
INSTALLATION OF LAVA ROCK/MEDIA INTO BURNER PAN
Install lava rock into the burner pan. Ensure the lava rock is a 1-inch diameter
for proper operation. Note: Do not pour Lava Rock directly from bag. It should
be placed naturally and NOT packed in tight. Loose tting is important to ensure
robust ames. Be sure rocks are free of any excessive dust. This prevents the
burner pan weep holes from being plugged and holding water. IMPORTANT:
Do not place rock over top or under the screen cover. The screen must be
free of any debris to ensure proper lighting of burner and good ame sense (See
g. 8).
Cover the burner completely with media but do not make the depth greater than
1-inch overtop of the burner portholes.
Do NOT cover the screen mesh with any rock or glass. It must be free an any
debris to operate properly.

IGNITOR ALIGNMENT
It is important check that the ignitor probes be properly aligned over-
top of the burner port holes and did not move during shipping. Use
the Fig.7 as a guide. Before lighting remove the screen cover of the
ignition hood to burner and ensure the thermocouple is directly over-
top of a burner port hole. The sparking probes and the thermocouple
must be in the path of a ame to ignite the gas for proper ignition of
the ame. Replace the screen cover and follow the operating
instructions.

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. Carbon (soot) may build up on the surface of logs (if installed) during heavy use. Sooting may also occur periodically
on the screen of the ignitor hood. To clean, brush off with a dry bristle brush or cloth. Keep soot away from clothing or
furniture.
6. Over time stainless steel or galvanized 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
Sympton Remedy
Fire pit won’t light 1. Bleed gas line.
3. Ensure all gas supply lines are turned ON.
4. Ensure there is not too much media overtop of burner; it can inhibit gas from owing.
Low Flame 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 valve is fully open. See page 8; gure 10.
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.
