REV. 5-23-14 Page 3
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 under any combustibles closer then 96-inches. This appliance should never be placed closer than
36-inches from any side to any combustible construction or materials (See g. 2, pg. 3).
PREPARING A NON-COMBUSTIBLE STRUCTURE
The Fire Pit is to be installed on a at, stable surface, away from any combustible materials. Install Fire Pit on any level,
outdoor non-combustible surface. NOTE: Do not place re pit directly on grass, dirt, or rocks this may prevent proper ven-
tilation (Fig. 3). Ensure proper water drainage is also incorporated into the re pit enclosure.
HARD PIPING TO FIRE PIT WITHOUT GAS PROXIMITY
NOTE: We recommend using 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 re pits rated above 100,000 BTU/H.
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 ¾” 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
Installation of Natural or Liquid Propane (LP) gas should be done by a qualied installer, service agency or gas
supplier. The appliance and its manual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system dur-
ing 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 dur-
ing any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psig (3.5kPa).
NOTE: Liquid Propane (LP) conversion kits are available in the
Accessory/Conversion Kit section of this manual. When convert-
ing a Fire Pit ensure you follow the instructions supplied with the
conversion kit.
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.

HIGH ELEVATION INSTALLATION
This appliance is listed for elevations from 0-4500 feet in
Canada and the U.S. If elevation exceeds 4500 feet it may be
necessary to decrease the input rating by changing the exist-
ing burner orice to a smaller size. Input should be reduced
4% for each 1000 feet beyond the 4500 feet above sea level.
Check with your local gas utility for assistance in determining
the proper orice in your location. In some cases the heating
value may already be reduced and downsizing the orice may
not be necessary.

FIRE PIT MAINTENANCE
1. The Fire Pit should be inspected and cleaned before initial use at least annually by a qualied eld service person.
2. Any component that is found faulty must be replaced with an approved component.
3. Any tampering or modifying with the Fire Pit is dangerous and voids all warranties.
4. During winter months in cold climates and various seasons operation the Fire Pit may be affected by weather condi
tions. It is recommended to use a cover overtop of your Fire Pit to protect it from humid/rainy weather
conditions when not in use. Heavy rains/downpours could affect the Fire Pit operation if not covered; if this occurs
ensure you allow the Fire Pit time to dry out before attempting to operate. NOTE: If a combustible type cover is used
over the Fire Pit when not in use be sure to remove it before operation to prevent a severe safety hazard.
5. Over time stainless steel parts discolor when heated, usually a golden or brown hue. This discoloration is normal and
does not affect the performance of the appliance.
REV. 5-23-14 Page 9
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Sympton Remedy
Fire pit won’t light 1. Bleed gas line.
2. Ensure all gas supply lines are turned ON.
3. Ensure there is not too much media overtop of burner; it can inhibit gas from owing.
Low ame 1. Ensure the base media is at least 1-inch over top of burner.
2. Adjust air shutter at bottom of re pit pan.
3. Ensure all shut-off valves and key valve is fully open.
Water in my re pit 1. Excess dust/sand material from media may be blocking the weep holes to relieve water.
Remove all media and unplug weep holes. Clean or install new media free of dust and dirt.
2. Ensure re pit enclosure has proper drainage for water and proper ventilation to dry out.
