ORION FIREPIT INSTALLATION
ORION FIREPIT UNITS
> Prepare the installation area by referring to the slab installation portion of the
Permacon installation guide
> Ensure the base is level prior to installation
> Install the Orion concrete units in desired location
- Install the units on the ground in a square shape. Make sure every unit is used once
as a corner
- Once the first row is complete, apply Techniseal concrete adhesive on top of the units
- For the second row, offset the corners to avoid vertical joint lines
- Apply Techniseal concrete adhesive on top of the second row of units
- For the third row, offset the corners once again so they have the same vertical joints
as the first row
> If the firepit is in an area with slabs or pavers, install them around the firepit and cut
where necessary

Slide the metal insert in between the assembled

adhesive to glue the insert to the Orion Firepit.
Put 0-3/4 in. clean stone at the bottom of the
firepit till it meets the edge of the metal insert
(depth of the stone: 290 mm or 11 3/8 in.). This
step is essential to protect the units against the
intense heat of the fire.
