OVERFILL PROTECTION DEVICE (OPD) ON
20 LB. PROPANE CYLINDER
Attention: Consumer be advised, this outdoor gas fireplace
must be connected to an LP gas cylinder incorporating an
OPD.
The OPD will help reduce the potential for the overfilling of the
propane cylinder, thus reducing the possibility of hydrostatic
relief valve discharges.
Overfill Protection Device Valve Function
1. Asthe cylinder isfilled, the rising level of liquid propanelifts
the float to the stop position to prevent dangerous overfilling.
Does not affect the filling process or use of the cylinder.
2. At a safe filling level, the float cam triggers the pin to fall into
the recess of the cam, sealing this path off and preventing any
more liquid propane from flowing through the lower valve
body into the cylinder.
3. Thepropanebuildsuppressureinthechamber(center spring)
and pushes the piston up to form a seal, effectively stopping
the filling process.
4. The use of the propane from the cylinder allows the OPD to
reset itself for the next fill.
5. Connects to all standard or quick-connect couplings.
6. The Overfill Protection Device affects incoming liquid pro-
paneflow only.Doesnot affectnormalpropanegasdischarge
when properly connected to the appliance regulator.
7. Allpropanecylindersshouldbefilledbyqualifiedprofession-
als only.
Purging
1. Due to the decreased Btu delivery, purging may take longer.
2. Toincreasethespeedofpurging,opentheoutagevalveduring
release.
3. Reminder: Each new cylinder must be purged before filling.
4. For purging instructions, refer to NPGA 133-89(a).
Btu Delivery
The OPD valve has a size 56 orifice through which the propane
is released for consumption. Depending on the propane's tem-
perature and pressure, the release from the cylinder is approxi-
mately 125,000 Btu/hour.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR
NEW TYPE-1 OUTDOOR GAS FIREPLACE
CONNECTION
Read all outdoor gas fireplace and related product literature
before connecting or using your outdoor gas fireplace, and read
the following information completely before attempting to con-
nect your outdoor gas fireplace to a propane cylinder.
Keep these instructions in a safe place. You may need to refer to
them when connecting other cylinders after filling.
Your new outdoor gas fireplace regulator is equipped with a
couplingnut.Donotattemptto connect any propane cylinder not
equipped with a mating Type-1 cylinder valve.
Connecting the Regulator to the Valve (Figure 1)
This Type-1 cylinder valve contains a backcheck which is
designed to prevent propane from flowing until the valve is
properly connecting to a regulator.
WhenconnectingtheregulatortotheType-1cylindervalve,be
sure the pressure relief valve is directed away from the front of
the outdoor gas fireplace and away from any building. If the
pressure relief valve should open, the propane will then be
directed where it is likely to do the least harm if ignited.
WARNING: Do not insert any foreign objects into the
valveoutlet. You maydamage the backcheck.A damaged
backcheck can be the source of a leak. Leaking propane
may result in explosion, fire, personal injury or death.
Regulator Coupling Nut
The coupling nut connects to the large outside threads on the
valveoutlet.Tocompletetheconnection,followthestepsbelow.
1. Be sure main burner knob is in the OFF position.
2. Make sure the cylinder valve handwheel is in the closed
position. Turn clockwise (left to right) to a full stop.
3. Remove the protective caps from the cylinder valve and
coupling nut.
4. Turn the coupling nut clockwise (left to right), to tighten to
a full stop. Be sure the coupling nut is not cross-threaded.

LEAK TESTING
WARNING! Before lighting your outdoor gas fireplace
be sure to read this section carefully.
Turn gas valve knob to the OFF position. Inspect the gas supply
piping or hose prior to turning the gas ON. If there is evidence of
cuts, wear, or abrasion, it must be replaced prior to use. The
replacement pressure regulators and hose assembly must be the
type specified by the manufacturer. Do not use the outdoor gas
fireplace if the odor of gas is present.
For LP gas, the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied
with the unit must be used. Install the regulator into the 20 lb.
propane cylinder and check the hose and regulator connections
for leakage with a soap and water solution before operating your
outdoor gas fireplace. Be sure there is gas in the 20 lb. propane
cylinder.
1. Before lighting your outdoor gas fireplace, check all
connections for leaks using a mild soapy water solution.
DONOTusematches,lightersorflametocheckforleaks,
— you could cause an explosion. With the outdoor gas
fireplace burner control turned OFF, slowly open the
cylinder valve by turning the handwheel counterclockwise
(righttoleft).Applymildsoapywatertotheconnection.If
bubbles appear, a leak is indicated. Do not put the product
in service! Immediately close the cylinder valve handwheel
for propane gas or the manual shutoff valve for natural gas. A
qualified service person must be contacted to make the
needed repairs.
2. DO NOT SMOKE WHILE LEAK TESTING!
3. For LP gas (propane) models, leak test with a full propane
cylinder.
4. For systems other than self-contained LP gas (propane)
systems:
A. The outdoor gas fireplace and its individual shut-off
valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).
B. The outdoor gas fireplace must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its own manual shut off
valveduringanypressuretestingofthegassupplypiping
systematpressuresequaltoorlessthan1/2psig(3.5kPa).
5. Aftertheinstallationofallgas-relateditems:i.e.hose,regulator,
LP gas cylinder, natural gas hose or natural gas regulator; the
outdoorgasfireplace control valveshouldbeturnedOFFand
the gas turned ON. This is known as "charging the system."
All gas connections must be checked with a soapy solution
while the whole system is under pressure.
To make a soap solution, mix together an equal amount of
liquid detergent and water.
6. Apply soap mixture to all gas connections. Soap bubbles will
appearifthere is a leak.Tightenconnectionstomakea proper
seal.
Ifyou cannotstop a gasleak turnoff the gassupply andcall
your local gas utility, or the dealer from whom the outdoor
gas fireplace was purchased.
Onlythosepartsrecommendedbythemanufacturershould
be used on the outdoor gas fireplace. Substitutions will
void the warranty. Do not use the outdoor gas fireplace
until all connections have been checked and do not leak.
A gas system MUST be tested yearly, or whenever the LP gas
cylinder is replaced, or any other gas system part.
WARNING: Locate the gas hose out of pathways where
people may trip over it or in areas where the hose may be
subject to accidental damage.
When lighting your outdoor gas fireplace always keep
your face and body as far away from the burner housing
screen as possible.

ADJUSTING FOR PROPER FLAME
Air Shutter (Figure 13)
Eachburneristestedandadjustedatthefactorypriortoshipment.
However,variationsinthelocalgassupplymaymakeitnecessary
to adjust the burner. The flames of the burner should be visually
checked. The burner flames should be yellow. If the burner does
not operate correctly, check if the air shutter or burner ports are
blocked by dirt, debris, spider webs, etc. and proceed with air
shutter adjustment. The amount of air which is drawn into a
burner is governed by a metal cup at the inlet of the burner called
an air shutter.

Air Shutter Adjustment
Be careful as the burner may be very HOT! The air
shutter is located behind the valve cover. There is an
accessareaatthebottomofthevalvecoverwhereyoucan
adjust the air shutter, with your fingers. A sooty, yellow
flame indicates insufficient air. Open the air shutter to
allow more air to the burner. If flame is noisy, blows out,
orliftsawayfromburnerorwillnotlight,thisindicates too
much air. Close the air shutter to decrease the amount of
air to the burner.
