GAS CONNECTION
Installation or repair should be performed by a qualified service technician who is locally licensed. The ap-
pliance
should be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified technician.
DO NOT remove any decal/rating plates from the Electronic Ignition Valve. A gas shut o must be installed
outside the exterior of the fire feature for emergency shut o and maintenance. A sediment trap is highly
recommended to alleviate any problems from debris or sediment in the gas line. It is the installers responsi-
bility
to ensure the fuel supply and line are adequate to supply the maximum BTU for the burner used.
Note: a heat shield/plate MUST be installed between the Electronic Ignition Valve and the burner ring to
avoid
over heating.
The Electronic Ignition Valve box is pre-mounted to the burner or burner & pan combination.
The Electronic Ignition Valve is designed to automatically close the gas valve and shut down should tem-
peratures
exceed 175° Fahrenheit. To keep the unit cool, proper ventilation and a heat shield must be provided.
The Outdoor Plus Recommends a Stainless Steel Whistle-Free Flex Hose to eliminate the noise.
PILOT ASSEMBLY CONNECTIONS
We pre-assemble the pilot on top of the burner pan and in that configuration, the pilot line, thermocouple
and igniter lead should be lowered through a hole in the pan prior to connecting to the control box. The
pilot comes pre-assembled from the factory, so the installer can simply connect the assembly to the
main control box. The igniter has a “shaped” push on waterproof connector ensuring that is can only be
connected the correct way. Push this black plastic connector parts firmly together until it locks in place.
Gently tug on wires to assure connection is secure. The flexible corrugated pilot tube has a flare fitting
that should be connected 1/4 turn past hand tight. Please double check to ensure the fitting is snug both
into the control box and the flare connection. The thermocouple should now be connected. It screws onto
the 11/32” brass fitting on the control box closest to the black connector. It should be snug, but do not
over-tighten.
Next, you may mount the pilot to the burner pan. The shield is designed with perforated material which you
can use to secure to the pan with self tapping screws. The installer can determine the best placement for the
pilot depending on the burner configuration keeping the pilot within 1” from a burner port for quick ignition.
Once all connections are complete, it is highly recommended to perform a leak test. Turn on the gas supply
and using gas test solution or soapy water solution, spray the gas connections on the Electronic Ignition
Valve
including the pilot connector to ensure it is leak free.

OPERATIONS
When powdered, indicating a call for heat, the unit will wait for Pre-
Purge time. The HSI will be energized for Trail-For-Ignition time. The HSI
will turn o aer Ignition Time. The HSI will turn o if the flame is de-
tected on the thermocouple before the trail’s end for ignition time. The
main valve will turn on, and the pilot valve will remain on until power is
removed or the flame signal is lost. If the flame is lost, the control will
turn o the gas valve, and aer the flame loss recycles delay, restart
the ignition sequence. If a flame is not detected during the Trail-For-Ig-
nition time and Trails-For-Ignition remains, the pilot and HSI will turn
o and wait for the Inter-Purge time before starting the next ignition
attempt. Suppose a flame is detected before turning on the gas valve. In
that case, the control will stop sequence and remain in safety shutdown
until the flame signal is below the minimum threshold or drops continu-
ously by the minimum threshold valve before continuing.

SELECTING THE LOCATION
THIS SECTION DEMONSTRATEWS LOCATION REQUIREMENTS & WARNINGS
WARNING:
All fireplaces, match lit kits, spark ignition, safety pilot and Electronic Ignition Components are
designed and intended for outdoor use only.
» All fireplaces must have a gas shuto on the outside of the exterior of the fireplace to allow for emergency
shut o and maintenance. DO NOT PLACE ON TOP OF NON-COMBUSTIBLE FLOORING.
» Select a location where the fireplace can be attended during operation. Never leave an operating
fireplace unattended or by someone not familiar with its operation or emergency shut o locations.
» Both children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperatures and
should stay away to avoid burns and clothing ignition.
» Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the area of fireplace.
» Clothing or other flammable materials should not be placed on or near fireplace.
» Fireplaces create very high temperatures - Combustibles must be located far enough away that
there is no risk of ignition.
WARNING:
Venting is required to dissipate heat and any residual fuel. Failure to provide proper ventilation could result
in overheating and or explosion. See Proper Venting topic in the Enclosure Construction Section.
» Select a location with proper drainage.
» Choose a location that allows easy access for installation and maintenance of the fireplace.
» Pick a location that allows suicient horizontal room to enjoy the fireplace while allowing a safe
distance from the heat and flame.
IMPORTANT:
» It is recommended that material such as granite, marble or other dense stone be kept away from
heat and especially flame due to risk of cracking. Manufacturer is not responsible for damage.

ENCLOSURE CONSTRUCTION
THIS SECTION OUTLINES THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE FIRE FEATURE ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS & WARNINGS
WARNING:
» All fireplaces must have a gas shuto on the outside of the exterior of the fireplace to allow for
emergency shut o and maintenance.
» Always use proper materials and construction for gas supply, power and enclosure.
» The enclosure must incorporate 1 vent on at least two opposing sides (2 vents total) at a minimum
size of 18 sq. inches of total free area each (Example: 3”x 6” or larger). Installation of the vents
in the mid to lower area of the enclosure is recommended. Ventilation allows for heat and or
residual fuel to escape. Failure to properly vent enclosure may result in the fire-pit overheating or
explosion. Some enclosures may require more ventilation based on material, size, and extended
use. The vent may work as a drain as well when installed at bottom sidewall to prevent water
build up.
» The interior void space of the enclosure surrounding the valve box cannot be filled with any
material (gravel, crushed rock, concrete, etc.)- It is a requirement to have a minimum of 2” under
the valve box for proper ventilation and drainage.
» Select materials that are non-combustible in both initial installations as well as over time.
» The fireplace assembly should be recessed a minimum of 2.25” from the top of the enclosure to
protect flame from being blown out. Some areas may require more- 4 to 6” is not uncommon.
WARRANTY REQUIREMENT:
» The enclosure must be constructed on a stable surface. The weight of the fireplace must be
supported by the pan and not by any control/valve box. For Electronic Ignition Component models
the control/valve box must be above grade with adequate drainage to prevent water damage to
the controls inside the box.
IMPORTANT:
▪ Make sure that the structure is level. We recommend the use of the installation collar (optional)
that may be mortared into the surround.
▪ The Outdoor Plus recommends that the pan lip is recessed on trough (linear). The Outdoor Plus
cannot guarantee the lip on all of our products will be perfectly flat and will not warp due to heat.
▪ Product must be accessible for service.
PROPER VENTING
▪ Certain fireplace enclosures may require extra ventilation depending on size, material or extended
use.
▪ 1 Square Inch of ventilation is REQUIRED for every 25,000 BTUs.
▪ This is especially important for propane units, as propane gas is heavier than air and can pool in
the bottom of an enclosure.
WARNING: Venting is required to dissipate heat and any residual fuel. Failure to provide proper ventilation
could result in overheating and or explosion.

Recommended Tools:
General Plumbing Tools (Pipe Wrench, Crescent Wrench, Pipe Cutters, etc.)
Manometer (To test static & dynamic gas pressure)
Voltmeter (To check voltage & amperage to unit)
Gloves
Mini-Butane Torch
Cordless Drill
Dielectric Grease or Silicone (For waterproofing wire nuts)
Whistle-free Stainless Steel Flex Gas Hoses (TOP does not recommend using the standard yellow
corrugated flex gas hoses as those cause a loud persistent whistle sound to occur when using the fire
feature)
Ensure the location is free of combustibles (See section 11 for more information.)
Measure & record distances of gas piping & electrical conduit runs, these will be useful for calculating
gas pressure and proper wiring. The distance and wire gauge DIRECTLY aects the performance of the
Electronic Ignition Component.
The Fire Feature is delivered on a pallet via freight and placed in front of your home. Please have a team
of movers ready to help move the unit from the curbside/driveway to the desired location. ALWAYS
inspect the pallet for damage or missing pieces, if there is damage or missing pieces please DO NOT sign
for the pallet and call our support team immediately to help resolve any problems.
All fire features require a hollow area underneath the pan for serviceability of the unit, DO NOT FILL the
hollow basin with sand or any other media.
Gas Risers should come up to a maximum height of 2” from the ground and use a 90-degree fitting to
help reduce the basin height and allow for easy servicing.
TOP DOES NOT RECOMMEND to use the standard yellow corrugated gas flex hoses with its fire features,
TOP recommends to use a Whistle-Free Stainless Steel Gas Flex Hose in order to help eliminate any
whistling sounds.
Ensure you use the Home-run method for connecting multiple Electronic Ignition Component units, DO
NOT DAISY CHAIN these units.
Ensure you ordered the right gas type and ignition type for your installation.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
THIS SECTION DEMONSTRATES THE PROPER INSTALLATION AND TESTING OF THE PLUG & PLAY TO LOW VOLTAGE SYSTEMS.
STEP 1 | SELECTING A LOCATION
» Please see Section 5 on Selecting a location for instructions.
STEP 2 | VENTILATION & ENCLOSURE CONSTRUCTION
» Please see Sections 6 & 10 on ventilation & enclosure construction instructions.
» Ensure lava is not overfilled and do NOT cover the pilot for electronic electronic ignition valves.
STEP 3 | GAS CONNECTION
» Please see Section 3 for warnings.
» Place a ball valve close to the gas piping coming from the building for safety purposes.
» Gas Flow Pressure Requirements | See Figure 1
» Please reference figure 1 on the next page – We are looking for 7” (Natural Gas) or 11” (Propane) Dynamic
for optimum flow.
» Check dynamic & static gas flow pressure before the Electronic Valve Box.
» If the unit has a manifold please allow at least 10 inches of space in your design for a minimum height ba-
sin for the manifold.
» For appliances for use with a fixed fuel piping system and equipped with an appliance gas pressure
regulator, the appliance and its individual shuto valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of 1⁄2 psi (3.5kPa)
» The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shuto
valve(s) during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at the pressures equal to or less that 1⁄2
psi (3.5 kPa)
STEP 4 | IGNITION OPTIONS
» There are numerous options available to turn on/o your fire feature, you may splice o the three-prong
plug and hard wire the provided unit to a UL certified light switch, pool controller, smart home hub, wireless
remote light switch, etc. Or simply use the provided three-prong plug to a UL Certified outlet, smart outlet
hub, GFCI, or extension cord.
» Please See Figure 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, & 3.4 for a visual reference on the ignition options.
STEP 5 | ELECTRICAL CONNECTION & TESTING
» Only a locally licensed electrician should install the electrical components. Please refer to your
local codes to ensure proper installation.
» Confirm that appropriate voltage and amps (minimum amperage required 2.0-2.2 amps)
» Use Waterproof Wire Nuts to ensure longevity & waterproofing of the wiring
» Use only UL/CSA/LC Certified components with the Plug & Play to Low Voltage Electronic
Ignition Electronic ignition valve.
STEP 6 | APPLYING FIRE MEDIA
» Please see Section 9 on Fire Media Usage
WARNING: TOP does NOT recommend you use fire glass/media on propane fire features, Liquid
Propane is heavier than Natural Gas and can pool up in the burn area and potentially cause a backfire.

STEP 7 | OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
▪ Please see Section 11 on Operation Instructions, this section outlines how to operate your Plug & Play to
Low Voltage Pans & Burners fire feature.
HELPFUL TIPS FOR PROPER OPERATION
1. Cross ventilation is REQUIRED! A minimum of 1 square inch of ventilation is required for
every 25,000 BTUs on each side of the installation. Air flow is your friend!
2. Media (lava rock) minimum of 1/2” and no larger than 2” in diameter.
3. Media must not cover the pilot. The pilot needs air. Avoid packing media against the pilot.
4. Media must be approved by the appliance manufacturer.
5. A heat shield/Pan MUST be installed between the burner and Electronic Ignition Valve
6. The Electronic Ignition Valve has a temperature safety shuto at 175° F.
7. Be sure the gas shut o valve is open.
8. If using wire nuts, be sure they are weather proof and use dielectric grease on the wires.
9. The unit is water resistant. NOT water proof! DO NOT PUT IN WATER OR SUBMERGE.
