of the burner drum housing.
The fire pit is to be used only with the 20
pound, vertical standing vapor withdrawal type
tank. This fire pit is designed to operate on
LP (Liquefied Propane) gas only. The 20 lb LP
cylinder used with this fire pit must conform to
the following requirements:
• Type 1 Connections
• Diameter - 12” (30.5cm)
• Height - 18” (45.7cm)
• Maximum capacity of 20 pounds
The gas cylinder used must include a collar to
protect the cylinder valve. The cylinder supply
system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal.
Follow the instructions stated on gas cylinder
tanks when filling or transporting tanks. Failure
to do so could result in problems relating to
overfilling, excessive venting release of gas and
to regulator freezing. Never fill the cylinder
more than 80 percent full.
Do not allow dirt or foreign material to get into
or onto tank connection when it is not attached
to the fuel supply system. Use the protective cap
provided. Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet
whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install
the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet
that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other
types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of
propane. Cylinders must be filled before initial
use. All handling, transport, filling and storage
of LP gas cylinders must be in accordance
with NFPA 58 Storage and Handling of Liquid
Petroleum Gasses, or CAN/CSA b149.2 Propane
Installation Code.
Cylinders must be suitably tied down during
transport. Do not place any other items on top
of cylinders at any time.
Cylinders are not to be exposed to excessive
temperatures or high heat. Refer to the data
plate for model identification. Units are factory
equipped for use on only one type of fuel. These
units cannot be, and should not be used on
other types of fuels. Doing so can cause severe
damage to the unit and the installation area and
the added risk of serious injury. Any attempt to
operate this product on fuels for which it is not
designed voids the manufacturer’s warranty.
This unit is not to be utilized with a non-selfcontained LP-gas supply system.
CHECKING FOR LEAKS
1. After all connections are completed, check all
connections and fittings for leaks with a soap
solution.
2. With all valves closed, apply the leak check
solution (50/50 mix of dish washing soap
detergent and water) to all gas carrying
connections and fittings.
3. Open tank valve. Presence of bubbles at areas
of wet solution indicates a gas leak. If leaks
are detected or you smell or hear gas, shut off
the valve and repair the leak or replace the
defective part.
Do not use the fire pit until all leaks are
corrected.
Care should be taken to protect the fuel supply
hose from damage from either foot or vehicle
traffic. If the fire pit is not in use, the gas must
be turned off at the supply cylinder and the
cylinder should be disconnected from the fire pit.
Storage of the fire pit indoors is only permissible
if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from
the fire pit.
