LP GAS
LP gas is flammable and hazardous if handled improperly. Become aware of the characteristics
before using any LP gas product.

• Flammable, explosive under pressure, heavier than air and settles in pools in low areas.
• In its natural state, propane has no odor. For your safety, an odorant has been added.
• Contact with propane could burn your skin.
• Propane is extremely flammable and hazardous if handled improperly.
LP GAS WARNINGS:
• Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of reach of children.
• Disconnected cylinders must have threaded valve plugs tightly installed and must not be
stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.
• Never use a propane cylinder with a damaged body, valve, collar or footing.
• Dented or rusted propane cylinders may be hazardous and should be checked by your
propane gas supplier.
• Be sure to use only one 20 lb (9.1 kg) LP gas cylinder with a Type 1 valve with this appliance as
required by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Canadian Standards
Steering Committee.
• Only tanks marked “propane” may be used.
• The LP gas supply tank must be constructed and marked in accordance with the Specifications
for LP gas LP gas tanks of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National
Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, LP gas tanks, Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation
of Dangerous Goods; and Commission.
• LP gas tank must be arranged for vapor withdrawal.
• The LP gas tank must have a listed overfilling prevention device (OPD) and a QCCI or Type I
(CGA810) LP gas tank connection.

• The LP gas tank must have a tank collar to protect the tank valve.
• LP gas cylinder must contain a shut-o valve as specified in the Standard for Compressed Gas
Cylinder Valve Outlet and Inlet Connection, ANSI/CGA-V-1-1977, CSA B96.
• Never use an LP gas tank with a damaged body, valve, collar, or footing. Dented or rusted LP
gas tanks may be hazardous and should be checked by your LP gas supplier prior to use.

• Tanks must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children. Do NOT store in a building,
garage, or any other enclosed area.
• Never store your LP gas tank where temperatures can reach over 125°F.
• Do not store the LP gas cylinder in direct sunlight or near a source of heat or combustion.
• Never keep a filled LP gas tank in a hot car or car trunk. Heat will cause the gas pressure to
increase, which may open the relief valve and allow gas to escape.
• Place dust cap on valve outlet whenever the LP gas tank is not in use. Only install the type of
dust cap on the LP gas tank valve outlet that is provided with the LP gas tank valve. Other
types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.
a. Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near this appliance.
b. Never fill the LP gas cylinder beyond 80% full.
c. If the information in (a) and (b) is not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious

to a LP gas cylinder. Never connect to an unregulated LP gas supply. For technical support
contact Real Flame at 1-800-654-1704.
• Hand turn the manual gas control valve. Never use tools. If the valve will not turn by hand, do
not try to repair it. Call a Certified Gas Technician. The use of force or any self attempted repair
may result in a fire or explosion.
Connecting your gas cylinder:
Before connection, be sure that there is no debris caught in the head of the gas cylinder, head
of the regulator valve or in the head of the burner and burner ports. Connect regulator valve
and hand-tighten firmly. Disconnect the propane cylinder from the regulator valve when the
fire table is not in use. DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion air and ventilation air to the
burner.

1. This fire table comes equipped with a standard LP gas hose and regulator including the
appliance side connection for a CGA No 791 Cylinder Connection Device. The LP gas hose and
regulator supplied with this fire table must be used. Only a hose and regulator specified by
manufacturer can be used for replacement.
a. The CGA No 791 connection incorporates a magnetic flow limiting device that acts
to limit the flow of gas if a leak is detected between the regulator and the burner valve.
b. If the burner valve is open prior to the LP gas cylinder service valve being opened,
the connection will interpret this free flow of gas to be a leak.
c. The connection safety feature will reduce gas flow from the regulator to the
appliance to a minimal level.
d. Be sure that the burner control valve is closed prior to opening the LP gas cylinder
service valve to ensure that the connection flow limiting device is not triggered
mistakenly.
e. If the connection flow limiting device is triggered mistakenly, close the LP gas
cylinder service valve and the burner valve, wait 10 seconds to allow the device to
reset, open the cylinder service valve, then open the burner valve and light the
fireplace as per lighting instructions.
2. Be sure to protect the hose from any hot surfaces. Serious danger may result if the hose
contacts any hot surface.
3. Regular maintenance of the hose and regulator:
a. Inspect the hose before each use of the fire table. If the hose shows signs of
cracks, abrasions, cuts or damage of any kind, do not operate the appliance. Fix or
replace the hose as required before using the appliance. For assistance with repair
or replacement of the hose, call Real Flame at 1-800-654-1704. Use only
replacement parts from the manufacturer.
b. Inspect the seal inside the CGA No 791 service valve on the LP gas cylinder when
replacing the cylinder or at least once per year. If there is any indication of
damage, have the seal replaced by a certified gas dealer before operating the
appliance.
4. Do not use tools to tighten the CGA No 791 connection nut onto the LP gas cylinder service
valve. Hand tighten only.
5. Be careful to not cross the threads on the connection when tightening the CGA No 791
connection on to the LP gas cylinder service valve.
6. “Leak Test” should always be performed after attaching the connection to the LP gas cylinder
service valve. (See “Checking for Leaks” section of this manual on page 10)
7. For the connection of the hose and regulator to the LP tank, refer to the “Connection” section
of the LP gas cylinder section above.
Hose & Regulator Assembly And Replacement
