WARNING:
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY
CHECKING GAS CONNECTION
A qualied service person must
connect the appliance to the gas
supply. Follow all local codes.
CAUTION:
Use only new black iron or steel pipe.
Internally tinned copper tubing may be
used in certain areas. Use pipe of 1/2”
diameter or greater to allow proper
gas volume to Outdoor Fire Pit Burner.
If pipe is too small, undue loss of
pressure will occur.
INSTALLATION ITEMS NEEDED:
Before installing the Outdoor
Fire Pit, make sure you have all items
listed bellow:
• piping (check local codes)
• sealant
• manual shutoff valve
• adjustable (crescent) wrench or pliers
• sediment trap
• tee joints
• pipe wrench
Installation must include a manual shutoff valve, union,
and plugged 1/8” NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach
for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from
the appliance.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads. This will
prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess
sealant in pipe could result in a clogged burner injector.
Install sediment trap in supply line as shown below.
Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for cleaning
and trapped matter is not likely to freeze.
A sediment trap prevents moisture and contaminants
from entering the Outdoor Fire Pit controls. If a sediment
trap is not installed, or is installed incorrectly, the unit may
not work properly.
APPROVED FLEXIBLE GAS HOSE
A.G.A DESIGN-CERTIFIED MANUAL
SHUTOFF VALVE WITH 1/8” NPT TAP
WARNING: Test all gas piping and connections
for leaks after installing or servicing. Correct all leaks
immediately.
WARNING: Never use an open ame to check
for a leak. Apply a mixture of liquid soap and water
to all joints. Bubbles forming on joints while the
gas is running indicate a leak. Correct all leaks at
immediately.
Test Pressures in Excess Of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa)
This appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa)
This appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5
kPa).

WARNINGS:
LIGHTING YOUR FIRE PIT
Failure to follow these instructions exactly may result
in re or explosion causing property damage, personal
injury or loss of life.
Before operating the appliance, check all around the
appliance area and on the surrounding oor for the smell
of gas - some gas is heavier than air and may settle on the
oor in the event of a leak. IF YOU SMELL GAS, follow the
safety instructions on page 1 of this manual.
The main gas valve in this appliance is not serviceable. Do
not try to repair or modify the valve, as doing so may result
in a re or explosion. Call a qualied service technician if
you have any safety concerns.
Do not use this appliance if any part of it has been under
water. Immediately call a qualied service technician to
inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control
system and any gas control that has been under water.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or
maintenance can result in injury or property damage. For
assistance or additional information, consult a qualied
installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
INITIAL LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Purge air from the supply line as follows:
• Open the main shutoff valve.
• Unscrew the main pressure test point.
• Leave the inlet test screw open until gas ows in.
• When the gas is owing, tighten the inlet screw immediately.
2. Test for leaks in each of the following locations:
• The gas supply line connection to the main valve;
• The Burner connections and pilot;
• All joints on the valve and control body;
• All eld made joints and gas shutoff valves;
• All factory made joints and connections.
3. You may check for gas leaks using one of the following methods only:
• Soap and water solution. WARNING: If using a soap and water solution to
test for leaks, DO NOT spray the solution onto electronic parts;
• An approved leak testing spray;
• An electronic sniffer. NOTE: Remove any excess pipe compound from
connections if using this method, as the compound can set off electronic sniffers.
Do not store or use gasoline or other ammable vapors or
liquids in the vicinity of this appliance.
DANGER: NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

STOP!
Read the safety information on
pages 1, 2 and 8 of this manual.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control knob. Never use tools. If the knob will
not push in or turn by hand, don’t try to repair it, call a qualied service technician. Force or
attempted repair may result in a re or explosion.
1. Turn the gas control knob to the OFF position (it will be necessary to depress the knob slightly
at the PILOT position). Allow ve minutes for any gas in the vicinity to dissipate. (LP gas, which
is heavier than air, may require forced ventilation).
2. Turn the gas control knob to the PILOT position.
3. Push down on the gas control knob and light the pilot immediately by applying a ame to the
lighting port. Hold the knob down for one full minute after lighting the pilot.
4. When the gas control knob is released, the pilot ame should continue to burn (if the pilot
goes out, repeat the above steps).
5. Rotate the gas control knob from PILOT to ON position (full counterclockwise position) to
supply full ow to main burner.
NOTE: Not turning the gas control knob to the full ON position will reduce the ow and could
result in poor ignition of main burner.
6. To extinguish main burner, rotate the gas control knob clockwise to the PILOT position.
7. To extinguish pilot, depress control knob slightly and turn to the OFF position (fully clockwise).

operation. The pilot ame must always be
present when the re pit is in operation.
The pilot ame has two distinct ames:
one engul ng the ame sensor, and the
other reaching to the main burner.
