PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: This Manual Spark Ignition (MSI) kit is designed to be installed with a UL approved
Firegear Outdooors Match Light re only. It comes partially assembled and uses a AAA battery inside the ignitor module
and push button to light a re pit burner with spark ignition. The MSI Mounting plate is intended to be installed into cement
board or used with a paver kit (See separate instruction for Paver Kit).

If the re pit is already installed then remove all media
before beginning installation and turn OFF gas supply.
Step #1 Prepare the re pit pan by rst removing the two
screws from the 1” x 2” metal cover plate exposing the
rectangular hole then align the burner leg as shown in Fig. 2
The inside edge of the burner leg should be approximately
3/4-inch away from the inside edge of rectangular hole (See
Fig. 1).
Step #2 Remove the two stainless steel nuts from the probe
assembly but leave it assembled, then carefully slide the
orange and black wires from the top of the pan through
square hole in the re pit pan resting over the burner leg
and install the screws through the existing holes of the cover
plate (See Fig. 3).
Step #3 Insert the two stainless steel screws from the probe
assembly through the existing cover plate holes attach the
two nuts previously removed and secure into place. Ensure
the assembly sits at against the re pit pan (See Fig. 4).
CAUTION: Ensure the probes are not touching the rain-
shield or the piezo will not spark at the tip of the probes. If
necessary you can adjust the rainshield by loosening the
screw inside the rainshield bracket, pushing it down and
retightening the screw. Fig. 3 shows proper spacing of probe
to rainshield.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Before using this MSI kit ensure
you are using a Firegear UL approved re pit pan with a
spur burner (See Fig. 1).
When looking at the pan from a top view (see arrows) the
rectanglar ignitor hole MUST be at the bottom of the spur
burner leg, not the top. IF NOT, DO NOT USE! THIS KIT
WILL NOT WORK WITH YOUR FIRE PIT!

NOTE: Ensure the probes are aligned overtop of the
rainshield notched/cutout area and are spaced
approximately 1/8-inch apart from the end/tips, above the
burner leg (See Fig. 5 &7 Fig 8).
Step #5 The mounting plate has two holes in which to
install the Piezo module and the manual key valve. To
install the Piezo module use the smaller hole with the two
notches and slide module into the plate until it stops. Using
the plastic nut thread it onto the Piezo module to secure
into place. Careful not to turn the nut too tight and crack
the plastic. Install the AAA battery as shown and thread
the red button cap on the remaining threads of the module
(See Fig. 6).
Step #6 The manual key valve is designed to be installed
into the larger hole of the mounting plate by placing the
valve against the protruding bracket and rotating the
chrome ange clockwise until tight against the plate to
secure it into place as shown in Fig. 7

Step #7 Install the ignition hood over top of the
ignition probe assembly into the existing prepunched holes
of the burner pan by using the ve #10 - 24 x ½” provided
screws (See Fig. 8).
Step #8: Install the mounting plate within 40-inches of the
2-probe Piezo ignitor. This will allow enough “play” in the
wires to make your connections.
The mounting plate can be installed using the template on
the back page of this manual. See Fig. 9 for details of
using template in concrete board and follow template
instructions on back page of this manual.
Step #9: Connect the 3/16-inch extension wires into the
back side of the spark ignitor module. See Fig. 9 detail.
Step #10: Attach the 1/4” extension wires (PIEZO23WH
& PIEZO25WH) to either of the ignition probe orange and
black spark ignitor wires (See Fig. 10).

Step #11: Test the ignitor by pushing and holding the
red button to ensure the 2-probe ignitor is sparking inside
the ignition box in the burner pan. The spark should be
located directly overtop of the burner port hole for proper
ignition of the gas as previously discussed. Spacing
between the probes should be approximately 1/8” for
proper spark. See Fig. 5 if necessary.
Step #12: . Install the ignition hood screen mesh and
ensure no media covers hood (See Fig. 11). Install
the lava rock/media material according to re pit install
manual and turn the main gas supply back ON.
Installation is now complete.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO LIGHT FIRE PIT
CAUTION: ENSURE YOU HAVE LEAK TESTED THE FIRE PIT BEFORE OPERATING.
WARNING: Do not stand over re pit during ignition or operation due to high surface temperatures.
1. Push and hold the red button on the manual Piezo ignitor and ensure sparking is occurring at the probes inside re pit.
2. At the same time turn ON gas supply.
3. Gas should ignite within 10 seconds or less. If re pit does not light within 10 seconds turn OFF the gas supply. Check
ignitor probe location (Figs. 5 & 8), ensure there is an 1/8” gap between the probes with a good strong spark then
repeat steps 2 through 4.
4. Turn gas supply OFF to check probes and battery if re pit does not light.

This instruction provides an option to mount the face plate to concrete board. Use the
template above to complete the installation.
The face plate can be mounted vertically or horizontally.
Using scissors carefully cutout the template and trace it on your concrete board. The
dotted line provides the cutout area to mount face plate. Use a concrete drill bit to drill (4)
3/16” diameter holes. Install the 1¼” black oxide screws through the front of the faceplate
with the nuts and washers on the backside. These are all provided in the hardware bag.
CAUTION: Careful not to over-tighten screws and nuts to ensure the cement board does
not crack or break.
