Ring of Fire Placement Requirements
For Outdoor Use Only. Install in well-ventilated areas.
Do Not Locate the Fountain:
! In high traffic areas. The water splashing from the fountain will cause the floor around
the appliance to be wet. A potential slipping hazard.
! Under or near trees, plants and buildings where debris may constantly fall into the
fountain. Excessive debris will require high maintenance and/or cause malfunctioning of
the fountain.
! In places where people, children, and pets will trip or fall into the fountain. Guards and
fences around the fountain in these locations are recommended.
! In places where the controls beneath the fountain may be submerged under water.
Submerging of any part of its controls will require complete replacement of the controls.
It is preferred that the appliance be installed above ground and away from potential flood
areas.
! In places where large amount of heat, steam, and water splash will cause damage to
building structures, trees, plants, etc.
Recommended Fountain Location:
• In places where the area or enclosure under the appliance is well ventilated and away
from electrical sparks or any other potential ignition source. This is to allow proper
operation of the appliance and to prevent dangerous accumulation of fuel gases in case
of a gas leak.
• On a level surface capable of supporting the fountain.
• In places where there is good drainage and proper waterproofing in the area surrounding
and beneath the fountain. Make sure water does not collect at the base of the fountain,
especially near the control area.
Electrical Requirements & Precautions:
• Do not locate lighting fixtures directly above the fountain.
• Lighting and electrical receptacles must be located at least 5ft from the fountain. Lighting
and electrical receptacles located between 5 and 10ft from the fountain must be on a
circuit protected by a GFCI. Refer to National Electrical Code, 680-6. Do not use
electrical connected devices, such as telephone, radio, television, lights or cooking
devices within 5ft of the fountain when it is being used.

A Typical Above Deck Installation
A Basic Box Enclosure with Minimum Dimensions
WARNING: The fountain should be lifted by the tub or reservoir body– never lift the fountain by
its components.
Recommended Minimum Service Access
Place a minimum 12” high, 20” wide access hatch adjacent the controls and a 36” X 32” clear area in front
of the hatch for service and general maintenance.
The above enclosure specifications allow for maximum simplicity and serviceability.
There are endless possibilities in shape and material used for building the enclosure. As long as the
dimensions on page 6, Dimensions, are observed, the fountain enclosure can be round, hexagonal,
octagon, etc.
Some of the suitable weather-resistant materials that can be used to construct the enclosure are treated
wood, tile, bricks, stone, concrete, glass and many more. Enclosure construction method and fasteners
should also be weather-resistant.
In enclosures with limited service access, it is recommenced that additional 6 ft lengths of gas, electric and
water lines be place inside the fountain. With the extra ‘slack’ in the lines, the fountain can be serviced by
lifting it up and out of its mounting hole. Without the water and decorative stone or glass beads, the fountain
weights less than 60 lbs. It is recommended that two people lift the fountain out of its mounting hole.
For best fountain appearance and performance, make sure the fountain is installed in a leveled enclosure.
Place at lease 6 square inches of vent/drain hole at the lowest points of the enclosure. This will provide
ventilation for the proper functioning of the fountain and the drainage of any accumulation of water.

Some Possible Fountain Enclosures
CAST CONCRETE BRICKS TILES
Drainage and Air Space Requirements
Make sure the area surrounding the fountain enclosure has good drainage to keep water from collecting at
the base of the enclosure, especially near the control area. If drainage is poor, install a drain line and/or
gravel drain field.
! To insure proper burning characteristics, all enclosures must allow a minimum 6 square
inches of air flow to the area beneath the fountain. If using a pedestal on a concrete
surface, a 1/8” gap between the pedestal and floor will provide adequate air flow (use
stainless steel washers to elevate the pedestal if necessary).
Gas Shutoff Valve
Electrical Supply
Slab Installation
Utilities must be routed underground. Electrical supply must be protected from inadvertent damage by
depth of burial or installation in protective conduit – consult your local building code for appropriate
methods. The gas supply must have a shut-off valve for the fountain. See “Gas Line Connection” for
details.

12 Installation (for qualified installers only)
© Travis Industries 4030407 100-01146
A Typical On Deck Installation
The fountain mounting hole on the deck consists of a 34 ½” diameter circular cutout. Be sure to properly
reinforce the deck after cutting out the hole.
Make sure there is adequate space under the deck for service and general maintenance.
It is recommended that guards or fences be placed around the fountain to prevent people, children, and
pets from tripping and falling into the fountain. The fountain is not designed to sustain the weight of heavy
objects falling in. Damage under these circumstances is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
For best fountain appearance and performance, make sure the deck on which the fountain is installed is
leveled.
It is preferred that the appliance be installed above ground and away from potential flood areas. If the
fountain is installed below grade, make sure the area surrounding the fountain has good drainage to keep
water from collecting. If drainage is poor, install a drain line and/or gravel drain field. Submerging of any
part of its controls will require complete replacement of the controls. Damage under these circumstances is
not cover by the manufacturer’s warranty.

Installation (for qualified installers only) 13
Travis Industries 4030407 100-01146
Gas Line Requirements
! The gas line must be installed in accordance with all local codes or, in the absence of
local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. Consult your local gas
supplier or propane gas dealer for code regulations and recommended procedures.
! The fountain and gas control valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig. For
pressures less than 1/2 psig, isolate the gas supply piping by closing the manual shut-off
valve.
! Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior to and after starting the
fountain flames. Leak checks may be conducted using soapy water at all connections.
Fuel
This fountain is designed either for natural gas or for propane (but not for both). Check the sticker on the
gas control valve to make sure the correct fuel is used.
Portable Propane Cylinder
For ease of operation, it is recommended that the fountain be directly connected to a
permanent fuel supply source, such as a large fixed LP cylinder, or a municipal gas supply
line. However, if a portable propane cylinder is used, a qualified installer must provide and
install compatible cylinder connection devices, regulators and cylinders that have capacity in
excess of 69,000 Btu/hr. Choose a suitable size propane cylinder. Operating time of the
fountain is limited by the size of the cylinder. Portable propane cylinder safety must be strictly
observed.
Portable Propane Cylinder Safety
If a portable propane gas cylinder is used, it must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if
not, follow ANSI Z223.1 and NFPA 54(88). It should always be handled, stored, and transported with
extreme caution in a secured upright position. The propane gas cylinder must be constructed and marked
in accordance with the specifications for LP-gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation.
Never attempt to use or repair a propane gas cylinder that has been damaged. Never attempt to use or
repair a cylinder with a faulty or damaged valve outlet. A cylinder that has been dropped, dented, or
otherwise damaged must be replaced. A propane gas cylinder should never be transported in the
passenger area of a vehicle. Keep cylinders out of direct sunlight and never apply any other source of
direct heat to them.
When refilling your cylinder, always insist on a reputable, qualified gas dealer. Your propane gas cylinder
is filled by weight. The cylinder must be provided with a listed overfilling prevention device. The propane
gas cylinder should never exceed eighty (80%) percent of its weight limit and any spare cylinders must
not be stored under or near this appliance or a fire causing death or serious injury may occur. If the
cylinder is not completely empty, the gas dealer must make necessary adjustments to ensure it is not
overfilled. Never use an overfilled Propane gas cylinder.
Propane gas cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Disconnected cylinders must
have a threaded valve plug tightly installed and must not be stored in any building, garage, or other
enclosed area. Flammable materials must not be stored in the cylinder enclosure. Always store Propane
cylinders in a secured upright position, out of the reach of children.

14 Installation (for qualified installers only)

! Read this entire manual before you use your new fountain, especially the section "Safety Precautions" on pages 4 & 5. Failure to
follow the instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.
! Remove any cover from the fountain. Inspect for debris or objects that may have fallen into the fountain.
! Check for any damage to fountain or its supply lines.
! Check the water level in the tank. Water should almost fill the lower portion of the tank. You can do this by looking into the gap
where the flames come out. Make sure water is suitably clean and clear.
! Check for combustible objects and objects that you do not wish to get wet around the fountain.
! Clear all people or pets away from the fountain.
! It may be difficult to see the burner operating in direct sunlight. If you are running the fountain all day without the flame feature, turn
off the gas line valve to prevent unintentional, or unseen burner ignition.

A control box (see illustration to left) is used to operate all of the features of the Ring of Fire.
NOTE: The control box has a built-in lock – we recommend locking the control box when
not in use, preventing unauthorized or unintentional use.
1. Make sure gas, electrical, and water supplies to the Ring of Fire are turned on.
2. Press the LIGHT and WATER button simultaneously for 3 seconds. The lights and
fountain will turn on (if not, repeat this step). At this point the lights or fountain may be
turned on or off using the buttons.
3. To turn on the flame:
(a) Make sure the fountain is on.
(b) Follow the steps below:

The flame should start. If the Ring of Fire was used recently, the flame should come on
immediately. If not, it may take longer. You can hear the clicking of the ignition system
during the ignition cycle. If the flame does not appear within 1 minute, press and release
the LIGHT, WATER and FLAME button individually once. Wait 5 minutes and start with
step 1 above. To turn the flame off, touch the FLAME button once.
NOTE: It is not unusual to intermittently smell the odor of gas and its byproducts when the
unit is burning in windy conditions. If you have the flame feature “ON” and smell
gas without the presence of flames, turn off the flame feature and call your dealer or
gas supplier.
4. The light, water, and flame can be operated independently by pressing and releasing the
buttons on the control box. For safety reasons, the flame can only be turned on if the water
is turned on. Therefore, if the flame is turned on, turning the water off will also turn the
flame off.
5. Turning all features off will reset the Ring of Fire. The start-up sequence from step 2 will
have to be repeated.
NOTE: The flame will be automatically shut off if left “ON” for two hours (the light and
fountain will continue to operate). This safety (and economical) feature prevents
unattended operation and needless consumption of gas. The flame may be turned
back on immediately by pressing the FLAME button..

NOTE: During normal operation, the flame tips have peaks and valleys ranging from 10 to
16 inches. For clarity, the above illustration is shown without water sprays
