Note: Fire pits are rated at maximum Btu’s which is dependent upon proper gas pipe sizing. Flex line size also affects
Btu’s. As a result your Btu’s may vary from Table 2 specications listed above.
PLEASE NOTE:
If you purchased a spoke burner only without the re pit pan, the burner must still be installed into a
non-combustible structure following the same requirements throughout this installation manual.

WARNING: Proper clearances from combustible, construction and materials must be maintained from all sides, top
and bottom of this appliance. This appliance should never be placed on any combustible surface. This appliance
should never be placed closer than 36-inches from any side to any combustible construction or materials.
PREPARING A NON-COMBUSTIBLE STRUCTURE
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 Teon tape or pipe sealant to the steel ttings before making any
connection. BE CAREFUL! Ensure all gas connections are snug, but not over tighten!
2. Extend the gas supply system using minimum of 1/2” black iron pipe or an approved exible gas line from existing
house supply. This can be accomplished by teeing off or tapping into a convenient 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. From manual valve, extend gas pipe to the Fire Pit location. NOTE: If pipe is to be placed in an underground trench,
check with local codes for required depth and materials needed.
4. Install a ¾” female x ½” male ared brass tting to the end of the ¾” black iron pipe. Be sure to clean the pipe threads
and use Teon tape or pipe sealant.
5. Connect the ½” female ared ex connector from the Fire Pit to the ½” male ared brass tting secured to the black iron
pipe. Note: Flare to are connections do not require Teon tape or pipe sealant.
IMPORTANT
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)

Figure 3. Cross Ventilation Example
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. NOTE: Ventilation is
not required at the bottom and may also be incorporated in the
upper portion of an enclosure.
The Fire Pan is to be installed on a flat, stable surface, away from any combustible materials. Install Fire Pit on any level,
outdoor non-combustible surface. NOTE: Do not place fire pan directly on grass, dirt, or rocks this may prevent proper
ventilation.
HARD PIPING TO FIRE PIT WITHOUT GAS PROXIMITY
NOTE: We recommend using 1/"2 or 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 fire pits rated above 100,000 Btu's
Installation of Natural gas should be done by a qualified installer, service agency or gas supplier.

REQUIREMENTS
INSTALLING KEY VALVE AND PIEZO IGNITOR
A separately purchased key valve,1- key valve, 1- key and 1- ange. (See gure 4). The valve requires a 1 1/4” 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.
After the fire pit pan is installed run the piezo igniter wires into the electrical junction box. Piezio wires are 24-inches in
length, ensure your installation does not exceed the wire length for proper connection.

Fig. 4 Key valve components.
1. Only non-combustible materials should come in direct contact with any part of the Fire Pan. Underneath area should be
non-combustible as well.
2. Only use ¾” gas supply line to the Fire Pan. Based on the selection of the fire pan size, the proper brass fittings should
be used to ensure a proper installation.
3. Determine the size of the round or square Fire Pit you are preparing to install (Refer to page 4).
4. You must provide a round or square opening out to place the fire pan into the non-combustible enclosure surround. Do
not exceed the maximum opening from Table 1, dimension B.
5. Follow the local code requirements for the gas type being used. This Fire Pan 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.
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 Fire Pan is designed to have Lava Rock/Media completely covering the spoke burner, so that the burner is
invisible. Do not cover more than 2” above the top of the covered burner. When purchasing Lava Rock it is
recommended to use minimum of 1" diameter as a base to fill the burner pan. Decorative glass covering may be loosely
scattered on top of the rock if desired or non-combustible logs may be added for a campfire look. If logs are chosen, do
not place on decorative glass base, use only Lava Rock as the base.
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 fire pan. This could cause unsafe operation of this system and
damage to the component that will not be covered under our warranty.
13. Cover the complete burner with lava or decorative Rock material (min. 1-inch diameter). Completely cover the spoke
burner, no more than 2-inches above the spoke burner.
