DESCRIPTION: The Paver Kit face plate bracket (control panel) is designed to install in conjunction with a typical Patio
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. 16 on page 5.
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 speci c models. This
section will provide a general installation of the
Paver Control Panel. See Table of Contents for speci c
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 linel 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 Te on 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 Te on tape or compound on
the ared ends of the ttings.

paver kit face plate bracket (control panel) can be oriented
with Piezo on either the right or left hand side.
REV. 8-24-18 Page 3
STEP 2: Once the 90° elbows are installed into the manual
Cover Plate
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.
See page 6 for lighting instructions.
STEP 5: After burn test is complete, nish the patio paver
blocks installation.
PAVER-CP-MT-MSI INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Turn OFF gas supply before beginning
installation. If the re pit is already installed, remove all media
before beginning installation.

panel.
Step 1: Prepare the re pit pan or disc by rst removing the
two screws from the 1” x 2” metal cover plate exposing the
rectangular hole then align the burner leg as shown in Fig. 9.
The inside edge of the burner leg should be
approximately 3/4-inch away from the inside edge of
rectangular hole.
Step 2: Remove the two stainless steel screws and nuts from
the probe assembly but leave it assembled. Carefully slide
the orange wire from the top of the pan through rectangular
hole in the re pit pan resting over the burner leg and install
the screws into the existing holes of the cover plate (See Fig.
10).

NOTE: If the screws from the probe assembly will not slide

into Hole
through the holes easily you can use the existing thread
cutting screws removed from the metal cover in step 1. If you
are using the screws and nuts from the probe assembly then
temporarily secure one screw with one of the nuts
previously removed. Ensure the assembly sits at against
the re pit pan (See Fig. 11).
Step 3: Install the Ground Tab on the remaining screw
(without nut) and secure. See Fig 11. NOTE: If you used
the thread cutting screws to secure the probe assembly then
secure the ground tab in any existing drain hole in the pan.
In all cases, ensure the nut is secured tight against the
Ground Tab and re pit pan because this will serve as the
“ground” connection for the ignitor to spark.
CAUTION: Ensure the probes are not touching the
rainshield or the Piezo will not spark at the tip of the probes.
If necessary you can adjust the rainshield by loosening the
screw inside the rainshield bracket, pushing it down and
re-tightening the screw. Fig.11 shows proper spacing of
probe to rainshield
NOTE: Ensure the probes are aligned over-top of the
rainshield notched/cutout area and are spaced
approximately 1/8-inch apart from the end/tips, above the
burner tube (See Fig. 12).

Step 4: The Piezo module mounts directly to the MT key
valve bracket. Install the Piezo module using the smaller
hole with the two notches and slide module into the place
until it stops. Using the plastic nut thread it onto the Piezo
module to secure into place. Be careful not to turn the
nut too tight and crack the plastic. Install the AAA battery
as shown and thread the red button cap on the remaining
threads of the module (See Fig. 13).

assembly into the existing pre-punched holes of the burner
pan by using the ve #10 - 24 x ½” provided screws. (See
Fig. 14).
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. 15 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. 16.
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. 12 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. 17). Install the
lava rock/media material according to re pit install
manual and turn the main gas supply back ON.
Installation is now complete.

MT LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO LIGHT FIRE PIT
CAUTION: ENSURE YOU HAVE LEAK TESTED THE FIRE PIT BEFORE OPERATING.
WARNING: Do not stand over re pit during ignition or operation due to high surface temperatures.
1. Push and hold the red button on the manual Piezo ignitor and ensure sparking is occurring at the probes inside re pit.
2. Turn ON gas supply at the manual key valve.
3. Gas should ignite within 10 seconds or less. If re pit does not light within 10 seconds turn OFF the gas supply. Check
ignitor probe location (Figs. 12 & 14), ensure there is an 1/8” gap between the probes with a good strong spark then
repeat steps 2 through 4.
4. Turn gas supply OFF to check probes and battery if re pit does not light.
