Most re pits are equipped for Natural gas (NG) however, if you are considering converting to LP gas
use the guidelines below for proper tank storage.
REMOTE PROPANE / LP GAS ENCLOSURES
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
If this re pit is permanently connected to a gas piping
system from a remote supply tank, installation must be in
accordance with local codes or, in absence of local codes,
with the National Fuel Gas codes ANSI Z223/1/NFPA 54.
If constructing an enclosure to conceal a propane •
tank/LP cyclinder- the enclosure must adhere to the
following construction requirements:
Enclosures may be constructed with one side •
compeletely OPEN or if the enclosure is built with four
(4) sides, a top and a bottom, then as ollows:
A Propane/LP gas cyclinder enclosure requires four •
(4) ventilation openings at the top and bottom of the
enclosure. The openings must adhere to the minu-
mum requirements according to the capacity of the
cyclinder (See diagram 1).
Each opening in the enclosure must be equally sized •
and spaced at a minimum of 180º. Openings must
remain unobstructed.
Top ventilation openings are required on the side walls •
of the enclosure within 5-inches (127mm) of the top
enclosure. They need to be of equal size,
unobstructive and spaced 180º apart. The openings
need to be a total area of 1 in² /lb (14.2 cm²/kg) of fuel
storage capacity.
Every opening must have minmum dimensions to allow •
entrance of a 1/2” (3.2 mm) diameter rod.
Ventilation openings in side walls must not connunicate •
directly with other enclosures of the re pit.
The cyclinder valve must be easily accessible by hand. •
Connections should be easy to leak test inside the
enclosure. A door on the enclosure is acceptable only if
easily opened without the use of tools and is non
locking.
The enclosure needs to be isolate the cylinder from the •
burner compartment and provide protection from
radiation, act as a ame barrier and protect cylinder
from foreign material.
The enclosure needs to allow connection, disconnec-•
tion and inspection of the connection of the LP gas
cylinder.
The enclosure should allow testing of any connetion on •
the LP cylinder that might be distrubed during
installation.
Bottom opening must provide a minimum of 1/2 •
square inches (3.23 cm²) for each pound of Liquid
Propane (LP) contained in the tank (see example
below.
Propane/LP Tank Enclosure Specications
A - Opening 180º apart from each other
B - Min. 2” (50.8mm) from oor/ground to base of tank
C - Max. 1” (25.4mm) from tank base to bottom of opening
Disclaimer: BTU/H listings are based on 7.0”WC for Natural Gas and
11.0”WC for Liquid Propane (LP) at the burner orice. Flex line size and
proper gas pipe sizing will also affect BTU/H. As a result your BTU’s/H
may vary slightly from Table 2 specications.

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 Fire Pit is to be installed on a at, stable surface, away from any combustible materials. Install Fire Pit on any level,
outdoor non-combustible surface. NOTE: Do not place re pit directly on grass, dirt, or rocks this may prevent proper ventilation (Fig. 1, pg. 3). Ensure proper water drainage is also incorporated into the re pit enclosure.
HARD PIPING TO FIRE PIT WITHOUT GAS PROXIMITY
NOTE: We recommend using 3/4” black iron pipe however please refer to the NFPA54 (National Fuel Gas Code) for
proper pipe sizing when exceeding 20-feet in length for re pits rated above 100,000 BTU/H.
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 Teon 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 Fire Pit location. NOTE: If pipe is to be placed in an underground 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 Teon tape or pipe sealant.
5. Connect the ½” female ared ex connector from the Fire Pit to the ½” male ared brass tting secured to the black iron
pipe. Note: Flare to are connections do not require Teon tape or pipe sealant.
IMPORTANT
Installation of Natural or LP gas should be done by a qualied 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/Conversion Kit section of this manual. When converting a Fire Pit
ensure you follow the instructions supplied with the
conversion kit.
VENTILATION FOR NON-COMBUSTIBLE ENCLOSURE
Fire pits 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 and may also be incorporated in the
upper portion of an enclosure.
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 existing burner orice 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 orice in your location. In some cases the heating
value may already be reduced and downsizing the orice may
not be necessary.

REQUIREMENTS
1. Only non-combustible materials should come in direct contact with any part of the Fire Pit. Underneath area should
be non-combustible as well.
2. Only use ¾” gas supply line to the Fire Pit. Based on the selection of the re pit size, the proper brass ttings should
be used to ensure a proper installation.
3. Determine the size of the round or square Fire Pit you are preparing to install (Refer to page 3).
4. You must provide a round or square opening out to place the re pit into the non-combustible enclosure surround.
Do not exceed the maximum opening from Table 1, dimension B.
5. Follow the local code requirements for the gas type being used. This Fire Pit should be installed in accordance with
local codes and ordinances or in the absence of local codes, with the latest National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1
NFPA54 or CSA B149.1, Natural and Propane Installation Code in Canada.
6. Fire Pits create high temperatures, it is very important to have any combustibles at a safe distance.
7. CAUTION: A minimum of 18 square inches of cross ventilation (per side) is required to keep the enclousure
dry.
8. These products are designed for outdoor use only. Not approved for any indoor use.
9. This Fire Pit is designed to have Lava Rock/Media completely covering the re star burner, so that the re star is
invisible. Do not cover more than 1” above the top of the covered re star burner. When purchasing Lava Rock it
is recommended to use minimum of 1” diameter as a base to ll the burner pan. Decorative glass covering may
be loosely scattered on top of the rock if desired or non-combustible logs may be added for a campre look. If logs
are chosen, do not place on decorative glass base, use only Lava Rock as the base. NOTE: If using all glass
media, glass must be a minimum of 1/4-inch diameter or larger.
10. Gas lines and ttings must be installed in to the non-combustible structure. All gas connections must be leak tested
before installation of the re pit. Soapy water leak detection is required before regular use of the re pit.
11. Do not use material that will absorb moisture over time and will not release this moisture quickly. Moisture can boil
in this material and can rapidly break apart and cause damage or personal injury.
12. Never leave any other combustible material on top of the re pit. This could cause unsafe operation of this system
and damage to the component that will not be covered under our warranty.
13. Cover the complete burner with lava or decorative Rock material (min. 1-inch diameter). Completely cover the
star burner, no more than 1-inch above the Spur burner.
INSTALLING KEY VALVE AND PIEZO IGNITOR
The key valve contents: 1- key valve, 1- key and 1- ange. (See gure 4). The valve requires a 1 1/4” round clearance
hole in the non-combustible enclousure wall. See the instructions supplied with the key valve for more specic details.
Note: Be sure to leak test all tting before operation. Figure 5 shows an example of a typical installation.
After the re pit pan is installed run the piezo ignitor wires into the electrical junction box. Piezio wires are 24-inches in
length; ensure your installation does not exceed the wire length for proper connection.
