CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY

WARNING:
A qualified 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 REQUIREMENTS

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.
