1.0 INTRODUCTION

For the state of Massachusetts a T-handle gas shut-off valve

must be used on a gas appliance. This T-handle gas shut-off

valve must be listed and approved by the state of Massachusetts.

This is in reference to the state of Massachusetts state code

CMR238.

The log set (LOGC85) and the burner assembly are
shipped separately.

A. Remove the gas log set and burner assembly and

check for damage. DO NOT install damaged
components. The logs are fragile use care when
handling.

B. Place the burner assembly on a flat, stable surface in

an outdoor location such as a patio or a deck. This
location must be adjacent to the gas supply line
(natural gas) or LP-gas supply cylinder. NOTE:
Minimum clearances to combustible construction
must be maintained.

Remember, you must have easy access to the gas
valve control knob AFTER the appliance is installed
and connected to the gas supply.

THE ON/OFF GAS VALVE IS USED TO TURN
THE BURNER ON AND OFF.

C. NATURAL GAS MODELS: Connect the incoming

gas supply line to the on/off gas valve of the
appliance (Figure 1). Make certain ALL gas
connections are tight, turn the on/off valve at the unit
slowly to the on position and use soap water to test
for leaks. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.

LP-GAS MODELS:

1. Make sure tank valve is in its full off position. (Turn
clockwise to stop).

2. Check tank valve features to ensure it has proper
external mating threads. (Tank Valve Marked: USE
WITH TYPE 1 )

3. Inspect hose shipped with the unit for damage. Never
attempt to use damaged or plugged equipment. See
your local LP Gas Dealer for repairs.

4. After inspecting the LP hose shipped with the unit,
connect the end with the female fitting on the hose to
the male fitting on the on/off gas valve at the end of
the flex tube and make sure it is tight.

5. When connecting regulator assembly to the tank
valve, hand tighten nut clockwise to a positive stop.
DO NOT use a wrench to ti

ghten. Use of a wrench
may damage quick closing coupling nut and result in
a hazardous condition.

6. Locate the hose out of pathways where people may
trip over it or in areas where the hose may be subject
to accidental damage.

7. Open tank valve fully (counter-clockwise). Turn the
on/off valve at the unit slowly to the on position and
use a soapy water solution to check all connections
for leaks before attempting to light the appliance. If a
leak is found, turn tank valve off and do not use the
appliance until repairs can be made by a local LP Gas
Dealer. DO NOT attem

pt to make repairs yourself.

8. Never attempt to use this appliance or any

components that have been damaged or exposed to
an accidental fire.

D. ENCLOSURES FOR LP-GAS SUPPLY

SYSTEMS.

If you build an enclosure for an LP gas cylinder.
follow these recommended specifications. You must
also follow local codes.

Enclosures for LP-gas supply cylinders shall be
ventilated by openings at the level of the cylinder
valve and at floor level. The effectiveness of the
opening(s) for purposes of ventilation shall be
determined with the LP-gas supply cylinder(s) in
place. This shall be accomplished by one of the
following:

a.

One side of the enclosure shall be completely open; or

b. For an enclosure having four sides, a top and bottom:

1. At least two ventilation openings at cylinder valve
level shall be provided in the side wail, equally sized,
spaced at 180 degrees (3.14 rad), and unobstructed.
Each opening shall have a total free area of not less
than 1/ 2 square inch per pound (3.2 sq. cm/kg) of
stored fuel capacity and not less than a total free area
of 10 square inches (64.5 sq. cm).

2. Ventilation opening(s) shall be provided at floor level
and shall have a total free area of not less than 1/2
square inch per pound (3.2 sq. cm/kg) of stored fuel
capacity and not less than a total free area of 10
square inches (64.5 sq. cm). If ventilation openings at
floor level are in a side wall, there shall be at least two
openings. The bottom of the openings shall be at floor
level and the upper edge no more than 5 inches (127
mm) above the floor. The openings shall be equally
sized, spaced at 180 degrees (3.14 rad) and
unobstructed.

3. Every opening shall have minimum dimensions so as

to permit the entrance of a 1/8-inch (3.2 mm) diameter

rod.

Cylinder valves shall be readily accessible for hand
operation. A door on the enclosure to gain access to the
cylinder valves is acceptable, provided it is non-locking
and can be opened without the use of tools.

There shall be a minimum clearance of 2 inches (50.8
mm) between the lower surface of the floor of the LP-gas
supply cylinder enclosure and the ground.

The design of the enclosure shall be such that (1) the LP­gas supply cylinder(s) can be connected, disconnected
and the connections inspected and tested outside the
cylinder enclosure; and (2) those connections which
could be disturbed when installing the cylinder(s) in the
enclosure can be leak tested inside the enclosure.

Be certain to mount or set the LP-gas cylinder on a flat
stable surface and retain it to prevent it from tipping.

E. Purge the gas supply line of any trapped air prior to

the first firing of the unit.

WARNING: During the initial purging and
subsequent lightings, NEVER allow gas valve to
remain "OPEN" position without first placing a
burning match on the top of the burner.

F. Place the logs on the burner assembly. See log

placement instructions.

G. Test fire the unit after referring to the SAFETY

INFORMATION and LIGHTING
INSTRUCTIONS found in Section 13 of this

manual.

H. Do not leave the burner on with the cover on.

I. If LP-Gas outdoor firepits are used continuously

after a couple of hours, you could see the possibility
of the flame decreasing in size. If this happens, turn
off the control valve and the tank valve and wait a
couple of hours before lighting again or switch
propane tanks. The propane tank is freezing up due
to the volume of gas being taken out of the tank.

DO NOT LEAVE FIREPIT
