DESCRIPTION: The Paver Kit face plate bracket (control panel) is designed to install in conjunction with a typical paver
block re pit kit (purchased separately). It installs underneath the re pit pan/disc in place of one patio block. The control
panel itself provides a convenient location to house the gas valve and Piezo ignition (if applicable) then is easily removed
for servicing.
PRECAUTION: If you are installing the MSI (Manual Spark Ignition) ensure the PAVER-CP-MT-MSI control panel is
within 40-inches of the 2-probe Piezo ignitor. This will allow enough “play” in the wires to make your connections. See
Fig. 19 on page 7.
This installation instruction covers two (2) separate kits: 1) PAVER-CP-MT and 2) PAVER-CP-MT-MSI.
TOOLS NEEDED: (1) Drill/driver, Gas Rated Teon Tape or Compound, 5/16” Hex head driver, (1) 3/16” Concrete Drill
Bit, (2) Adjustable Wrenches, Assorted Open-end Wrenches

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: This manual covers two specic models. This
section will provide a general installation of the
Paver Control Panel. See Table of Contents for specic
instruction for your application. Follow the directions
from your paver block re pit kit to build the actual re
pit. Depending on your re pit pan (at disc or pan)
ensure the Paver Control Panel is installed underneath
the pan or disc.
Place control panel into position, mark the
two holes, remove the control panel and
drill holes with 3/16” concrete drill bit.
Be sure the paver patio block kit ts the opening of the
re pit pan or disc before beginning your installation.
STEP 1: Determine the best location to install the paver
kit control panel per your installation.
STEP 2: Remove one block from your re pit enclosure
then measure the width between the opening.
Depending on the block width the control panel can be
adjusted to t various openings. NOTE: When
measuring it is recommended but not required to
recess the control panel to protect the valve
components from weather.
STEP 3: After you have determined the location and
measured the width to install the Paver Control Panel
mark the inside of the control panel as shown in
Fig. 4.
STEP: 4 Drill the two holes with a 3/16” concrete drill
bit and secure the paver kit control panel with concrete
screws. Fig. 5 shows front view.
Use the lintel to support the paver above control panel.
The lintel simply lays on top of the paver as shown in
Fig. 4.

PAVER-CP-MT INSTRUCTIONS
With the paver kit face plate bracket (control panel)
installed you are now ready to install the manual gas
valve.
STEP 1: Prepare the two ½” are x ½” MIP 90° brass
elbows by installing gas rated Teon tape or compound
to the male threads and install them into the manual key
valve that came with your re pit. Ensure the ttings
are tight to prevent any gas leaks. See Fig. 6 for proper
orientation.
NOTE: The manual key valve has no particular inlet or
outlet designation therefore the inlet gas can be
connected to any of the ared ends.
CAUTION: Do not use any Teon tape or compound on
the ared ends of the ttings.

paver kit face plate bracket (control panel) can be oriented

STEP 2: Once the 90° elbows are installed into the manual
key valve then install the MT key valve bracket into Paver
Kit control panel as shown in Fig. 7.
STEP 3: Secure the key valve bracket into place using the
four black thread cutting screws (See Fig. 8).
STEP 4: Install the ex connector from the burner to either
side of the gas valve and connect gas supply to the other
side of the gas valve. Conduct a trial burn test by temporarily connecting the re pit pan and burner and check for
any gas leaks before completing the installation. See re pit
manual for proper connections.

MT LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL WARNING AND SAFETY INFORMATION ABOVE BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO LIGHT FIRE PIT
CAUTION: ENSURE YOU HAVE LEAK TESTED THE FIRE PIT BEFORE OPERATING
TURNING ON FIRE PIT
1. Insert key into shut-off valve and secure into square end (see Figs 9-11).
2. Light a long match or butane lighter and hold it near the burner.
3. Turn the key slowly counter-clockwise in gas valve (until it stops) to allow gas to ow
and simultaneously apply the long burning match or Butane lighter as close to the end
burner as possible to light the re pit.
4. Gas should ignite within 10 seconds or less. If re pit does not light within 10 seconds
turn key clockwise to turn OFF the gas supply. Ensure there is not too much media on
top of the burner that might inhibit gas ow and try again in 5-minutes.
TURNING OFF FIRE PIT
1. Insert key into shut-off valve and secure into square end.
2. Turn key clockwise until it stops.
3. After cooling off install cover.

assembly into the existing pre-punched holes of the burner
pan by using the ve #10 - 24 x ½” provided screws. (See
Fig. 17).
Step 6: Ensure the Paver kit control panel is within
40-inches of the 2-probe Piezo ignitor. This will allow enough
“play” in the wires to make your connections. If not you may
have to rotate the pan or disc to make proper connections.
Step 7: Connect the 3/16” end of the PIEZO23WH
extension wire and 3/16” end of the PIEZO48WH wire into
the back side of the spark ignitor module. See Fig. 18 detail.
Step 8: Attach the 1/4” end of extension wire (PIEZO23WH)
to the orange ignitor wire and attach the 1/4” wire end
(PIEZO48WH) wire to ground tab under the burner pan.
See Fig. 19.
Step 9: Test the ignitor by pushing and holding the red
button to ensure the 2-probe ignitor is sparking inside the
ignition box in the burner pan. The spark should be located
directly over top of the burner port hole for proper ignition
of the gas as previously discussed. Spacing between the
probes should be approximately 1/8” for proper spark.
See Fig. 14 on page 4 if necessary.

Step 10: Install the ignition hood screen mesh and ensure no
media lays on the screen mesh area (See Fig. 20). Install the
lava rock/media material according to re pit install
manual and turn the main gas supply back ON.
Installation is now complete.
