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 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 as 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.
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.

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 re pit you are preparing to install (Refer to page 3).
4. You must provide a round opening out to place the at disc onto the non-combustible enclosure. Do not exceed the
maximum opening from Table 1, dimension B located on page 3.
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. Refer to page 3.
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 burner. When purchasing lava rock use 1” diameter as a base to cover
the at disc.
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.

6. Fire pits create high temperatures, it is very important to have any combustibles at a safe distance. Refer to page 3.
7. Normal operation of the re pit is with a battery pack that is supplied with your system (Fig 19). The battery box has
12-feet of black sleeved wire that is to be passed through the junction box provided. This wire should not be cut or
spliced and the junction box can be placed in the facing of the vertical nish of the re pit, if you place the wire under
ground you should install those wires into an approved protective conduit/sleeve material.
8. Fire pit should never be left unattended while in operation. It should always be a safe distance from all trees and
combustible landscape materials.
10. Construction of the nished re pit should be stable and solid. From the bottom of the control box that houses the
gas valve and module, it should be a according to specications on Table #1. NOTE: Proper drainage is critical to
ensure that water does not damage gas valve and components. Never install re pit below grade.
11. CAUTION: The re pit enclosure MUST have a minimum ventilation of 18 square inches on each side of the
nished enclosure.
12. The insulation square pad provided with the re pit is to be placed foil up toward the bottom of pan on top of the
valve box.
13. Never ll the cavity under and around the valve box with any material, this is a provided air space necessary for
ventilation.
14. These products are designed for outdoor use only. Not approved for any indoor use.
15. This re pit is designed to have decorative rock, lava rock/media covering the burner, so the burner is not visible. Optional
concrete logs can be added to consumers taste. Decorative rock is not provided. When purchasing decorative rock use
minimum of 1-inch diameter rock as a base to ll the burner pan. DO NOT COVER THE IGNITION HOOD WITH ANY
ROCK OR MEDIA.
16. 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.
17. 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.
18. 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 the warranty.

(2) two additional wires with ¼” female connectors. A complete wiring diagram (Fig.26) is located on page 20.
3. Feed all wires into the plastic junction box and connect special 4-pin plug into back of the battery pack. Connect
¼” female spade connectors to solenoid wires matching color, red-to-red and black-to-black.
4. Install the (4) AA batteries in to the battery compartment shown in gure 19. Double check to ensure the slide
switch is in the latching solenoid position on the battery pack. Then snap cover plate in place as shown in g.20.
Fig. 19. Slide switch on latching solenoid
5. Reinstall the battery pack into the plastic junction box, line up the two holes in the cover and install white screws
provided. Batteries can be changed or installed by removing the two screws that hold the cover plate battery pack
in place. Remove assembly, slide cover away from the cover plate and install the (4) four AA batteries.
6. Be sure the batteries are installed positive-to-positive and negative-to-negative. If one battery is installed wrong
the system will not operate.
7. Once the re pit is installed into the enclosure, the burner and control system should be tested before the media
(lava rock) is installed.
INSTALLATION OF BATTERY INTO TRANSMITTER
You have one handheld transmitter and you will need to install the included (12-volt battery) into the transmitter. On the
backside of the transmitter, push the cover away from the case. Place the battery into the compartment matching positive-
to-positive and negative-to-negative. To ensure the battery is properly installed push any button on the transmitter and
you will see a red LED light at the top of the transmitter glow. The red LED light will only be lit when a button is pushed.

IGNITOR ALIGNMENT
It is important check that the ignitor probes be properly
aligned overtop of the burner port holes and did not move
during shipping. Use the Fig. 21 as a guide. Before lighting
remove the screen cover of the ignition hood to burner and
ensure the spark probes are directly overtop 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.

INSTALLATION OF LAVA ROCK/MEDIA INTO BURNER PAN
Install lava rock/media into the burner pan. Ensure the media is a minimum of
1-inch diameter for proper operation. Note: Do not pour lava rock directly from
bag. Media 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 media over top or under the screen cover. The
screen must be free of any debris to ensure proper lighting of burner and to allow
proper heating of the thermocouple.
Cover the burner completely with media but do not make the depth greater than
1-inch overtop of the burner portholes.
Decorative glass may be loosely scattered on top of the lava rock. Do NOT
cover the stainless steel screen cover with any rock or glass. It must be free an
any media/debris to operate properly.
