SECTION 8
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
THIS SECTION DEMONSTRATES THE PROPER INSTALLATION AND TESTING OF THE PLUG & PLAY TO LOW VOLTAGE PANS & BURNERS
SECTION 8 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1 | SELECTING A LOCATION
Please see Section 5 on Selecting a location for instructions.
STEP 2 | VENTILATION & ENCLOSURE CONSTRUCTION
Please see Sections 6 & 10 on ventilation & enclosure construction instructions.
Ensure lava is not overfilled and do NOT cover the pilot for electronic electronic ignition valves.
STEP 3 | GAS CONNECTION
Please see Section 3 for warnings.
Place a ball valve close to the gas piping coming from the building for safety purposes.
Gas Flow Pressure Requirements | See Figure 1
Please reference figure 1 on the next page – We are looking for 7” (Natural Gas) or 11”
(Propane) Dynamic for optimum flow.
Check dynamic & static gas flow pressure before the Electronic Valve Box.
If the unit has a manifold please allow at least 10 inches of space in your design for a minimum
height basin for the manifold.
For appliances for use with a fixed fuel piping system and equipped with
an appliance gas pressure regulator, the appliance and its individual
shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of
½ psi (3.5kPa)
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shutoff valve(s) during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at
the pressures equal to or less that ½ psi (3.5 kPa)
STEP 4 | IGNITION OPTIONS
There are numerous options available to turn on/off your fire feature, you may splice off the three-
prong plug and hard wire the provided unit to a UL certified light switch, pool controller, smart
home hub, wireless remote light switch, etc. Or simply use the provided three-prong plug to a UL
Certified outlet, smart outlet hub, GFCI, or extension cord.
Please See Figure 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, & 3.4 for a visual reference on the ignition options.
STEP 5 | ELECTRICAL CONNECTION & TESTING
Only a locally licensed electrician should install the electrical components. Please refer to your
local codes to ensure proper installation.
Confirm that appropriate voltage and amps (minimum amperage required 2.0-2.2 amps)
Use Waterproof Wire Nuts to ensure longevity & waterproofing of the wiring
Use only UL/CSA/LC Certified components with the Plug & Play to Low Voltage Electronic
Ignition Electronic ignition valve.
STEP 6 | APPLYING FIRE MEDIA
Please see Section 9 on Fire Media Usage
WARNING: TOP does NOT recommend you use fire glass/media on propane fire features, Liquid
Propane is heavier than Natural Gas and can pool up in the burn area and potentially cause
a backfire.
