NOTE:
THIS FIRE PIT COMES EQUIPPED WITH LIQUID PETEROLUM (LP) GAS ONLY.
AN OPTIONAL NATURAL GAS CONVERSION KIT IS AVAILABLE BUT MUST BE
PURCHASED SEPERATELY.
ORDER: Part# OAS-NG42 (35,240 BTU/H at 7.0”WC)

REV. 5-31-14 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 Linear Outdoor Fire is to be installed on a at, stable surface, away from any combustible materials. Install Linear
Outdoor Fire on any level, outdoor non-combustible surface. NOTE: Do not place Linear Outdoor Fire directly on grass,
dirt, or rocks this may prevent proper ventilation (Fig. 3). Ensure proper water drainage is also incorporated into the
Linear Outdoor Fire enclosure.
HARD PIPING TO Linear Outdoor Fire pit WITHOUT GAS PROXIMITY
NOTE: We recommend using a minimum ¾” black iron pipe however refer to the NFPA54 (National Fuel Gas Code) for
proper pipe sizing when exceeding 20-feet in length for Linear Outdoor Fire’s rated above 100,000 Btu’s.
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 Linear Outdoor Fire location. NOTE: If pipe is to be placed in an under-
ground 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 Linear Outdoor Fire 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 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 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)
NOTE: LP conversion kits are available in the Accessory/Con-
version Kit section of this manual. When converting a Linear
Outdoor Fire ensure you follow the instructions supplied with the
conversion kit.
VENTILATION FOR NON-COMBUSTIBLE ENCLOSURE
Linear Outdoor Fire’s 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, it
may also be incorporated in the upper portion of an enclosure.
Figure 3. Cross Ventilation Example
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.

MAINTENANCE
1. The Linear Outdoor Fire should be inspected and cleaned before initial use 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 Linear Outdoor Fire is dangerous and voids all warranties.
4. During winter months in cold climates and various seasons operation the Linear Outdoor Fire may be affected by
weather conditions. It is recommended to use a ventilated cover overtop of your Linear Outdoor Fire to protect it from
humid/rainy weather conditions when not in use. Heavy rains/downpours could affect the Linear Outdoor Fire operation if
not covered; if this occurs ensure you allow the Linear Outdoor Fire time to dry out before attempting to operate. NOTE:
If a combustible type cover is used over the Linear Outdoor Fire when not in use be sure to remove it before operation to
prevent a severe safety hazard.
5. Carbon (soot) may build up on the surface of logs (if installed) during heavy use. Sooting may also occur periodically
on the screen of the ignitor hood. To clean, brush off with a dry bristle brush or cloth. Keep soot away from clothing or
furniture.
6. 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. 5-31-14 Page 9
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Sympton Remedy
LOF 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 Flame 1. Ensure the base media is at least 1-inch in diameter and top media is no more than 1-inch over
top of burner.
2. Adjust air shutter at bottom of Linear Outdoor Fire pit pan.
3. Ensure all shut-off valves and key valve is fully open.
Water in Fire 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 Linear Outdoor Fire pit enclosure has proper drainage for water and proper ventilation
to dry out.
