NATURAL GAS DANGERS AND WARNINGS

Natural gas is ﬂammable and hazardous if handled improperly. Become aware of the

characteristics before using any natural gas product.

Natural Gas Characteristics

• Flammable, explosive under pressure, lighter than air and settles in pools in high areas.

• In its natural state, natural gas has no odor. For your safety, an odorant has been added.

• Contact with natural gas could burn the skin.

• Natural is extremely ﬂammable and hazardous if handled improperly.

Chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other

reproductive harm are created by the combustion of natural gas.

Your natural gas ﬁre pit is designed to operate on natural gas only, at a pressure of seven

inches water column (7" W.C.) Check with your gas utility for local gas pressure, because in some areas natural gas pressure varies. Also, check with your gas company or with local building codes for instructions to install gas supply line, or call a licensed and qualiﬁed installer.

It is recommended that an ON/OFF manual shut–o valve be installed at the gas supply

source, outdoors: after the gas line exits outside wall and before quick disconnect or before gas supply line enters ground, indoors: in the branch gas line in an accessible location near the gas supply line.

Pipe sealing compound or pipe thread tape of the type resistant to the action of natural

gas must be used on all male pipe threads. Apply compound or tape to at least the ﬁrst

three to four threads when making a connection.

NATURAL GAS DANGERS AND WARNINGS

Never store or use gasoline or other volatile substance in the vicinity of this ﬁre table.

Natural Gas Connection

Connect a manual shuto valve to gas supply line. Apply sealing compound or pipe thread tape of

the type resistant to the action of Natural Gas on all male pipe threads. Connect the end, with the quick release connector, of the natural gas hose to manual shut-o valve at the gas supply.

Caution:

During any high pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures in excess

of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa), the appliance and its individual shuto valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system.

The outdoor ﬁre table must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing the

individual manual shuto valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at least equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).

Warning:

Burner valves are pre-tested at the factory to operate on natural gas. Do not attempt to

convert or change.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

The ﬁre table is very heavy, make sure that another person is available to help you when moving it or ﬂipping it over.

With the ﬁre table upside down, install the four feet by screwing them into the holes located in the corners of the unit.

WARNING

Flip the table over with the help of another person. Do not attempt to turn the table upright by yourself as injury to yourself or damage to the table may occur.

Install the Hose Guide

1. Carefully unwrap the hose and lay it across the gap in the base.

2. Place the hose guide (A) over the hose and attach using the provided hardware. Be careful not to damage hose while installing hose guide.

B C

Install the AAA battery as shown in the diagram below. Battery not included.

Place lava rock by hand. DO NOT dump bag out into tray to avoid clogging the burner with dust. Position the lava rock (10kgs) to a level about 1” above the top of the burner. Make sure that you do not block the igniter box with lava rock to ensure proper ignition.

Igniter box

Connecting your ﬁre table to the Natural Gas source

recommended by the National Fuel Gas Code. Socket connection must be made outdoors.

Connecting the Socket

Coat the gas supply pipe nipple with gas resistant pipe compound or approved teﬂon tape. Screw socket onto gas supply pipe (house gas source) as shown to the right, and wrench tighten.

The quick disconnect socket should never be connected to the ﬁre table. Direction of gas ﬂow is indicated on the socket.

Using the Quick Connect Socket

Pull back the sleeve on the quick disconnect socket and insert the unattached end of the gas hose into the socket. Release the sleeve and continue pushing the hose into the socket until the sleeve snaps into the locked position.

After making all connections, perform a leak test as described on page 12 of this manual.

WARNING Before using this outdoor ﬁre table, make

sure you have read, understand and are following all information provided in the Important Safety Information section of this manual. Failure to follow those instructions can cause death, serious injury or property damage.

Prior to each gas ﬁre table operation, check the hose and valve for evidence of excessive abrasion or wear through the visual check hole on the side of the base. Replace visual check cap prior to operating ﬁre table.

BURNER CONNECTIONS

Make sure the Natural Gas hose and quick disconnect socket connections are securely fastened to the burner and the gas supply. If your unit was assembled for you, visually check the connection between the burner pipe and oriﬁce. Make sure the burner pipe ﬁts over the oriﬁce.

Pre-Use Instructions

Visual check hole location

Warning: Failure to inspect this connection or follow these instructions could cause a ﬁre or an explosion, which can cause death, serious bodily injury, or damage to property.

Please refer to diagram for proper installation.
