POST INSTALLATION (for standard burial steel or aluminum posts):
1. Obtain a 3" outside diameter post with notch for valve access at top.
2. Install ¼"OD refrigeration type copper tubing inside post with ¼" flare nuts at each end.
Tubing should be coiled 2½ times at top and protrude approximately 5" through hole at bottom of post.
3. If supplied, insert ladder rest through ladder rest holes and attach ornamental balls to each end.
4. Dig a hole 21" deep x 12" wide.
5. If using ladder rest, position post with ladder rest facing desired direction.
6. Attach the ¼" flare nut at the bottom of the post to the gas supply and tighten the flare nut clockwise.
No sealants are necessary.
7. Secure post in plumb position and pour concrete around post to just below the level of the line access hole.
8. If using a cast pedestal base, remove the (4) screws and nuts from each side and place each piece of the base around the
bottom of the post. Secure it together using the (4) screws and nuts. Push the base approximately 1"–2" into the ground and
secure in place using the back fill from the post. If the base is not secured in the ground, the freeze and thaw of the ground
can force the base to rise and fall, causing the finish of the post to scratch.

LAMP INSTALLATION:

1. Feed the gas feedline through the yoke and attach the ¼" flare nut at the top of the post to the connector valve inside the lamp
collar, below the burner. To slide the burner out for connection, loosen the front setscrew beneath the bottom fitter.
2. Lower lamp head onto post and tighten set screw(s) in the bottom of yoke so lamp is well secured to post.
3. Be certain the lamp valve is in the OFF position (3 o'clock position) before turning on the main gas supply.
4. Leaving lamp valve in OFF position, turn on main gas supply and check all connections for leaks using a soapy solution.
NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS! Tighten any leaky connections and recheck for leaks.
5. If using mantles, install mantles per instructions on packaging before turning lamp valve on.
If using open flame, turn lamp valve ON (12 o'clock position) with a flathead screwdriver and slowly move flame toward
burner tip until it ignites.
6. For gas mantle, leave valve full open. For open flame, adjust flame to ½ - ¾ open.
7. Proceed to Globe & Dome Installation Instructions.
