GAS LINE INSTALLATION
Keep pipe length and elbows to a minimum to eliminate unnecessary pressure drops. Corrugated flex gas lines should
not be used.
1. Determine the proper gas line size based on fuel input requirements (BTU/HR), gas pressure and the distance
from the gas pressure regulator to the fire/water bowl.
2. Route gas lines underground to each bowl.
3. The stubbed-out end should be fitted with a 1/2-inch NPT ball valve shutoff (rated for gas usage) and a flare
fitting sized for the same size gas hose that is attached to the control box.
4. Piping must be reduced to 1/2-inch NPT pipe size at each bowl.
5. At each bowl, install a 90-degree gas pipe elbow on the gas line to simplify installation of the gas hose.
Note: Do not kink or make a tight radius bend on the gas hose.
Note: Gas, electrical, and water connections must be located at the center of each bowl.
6. Install a ball valve after the elbow.
7. Install a 1/2-inch flare fitting onto ball valve.
8. Install a 1/2-inch flex hose to the flare fitting at the ball valve.
9. Secure the other end of flex line to the control box.
10. Tighten all fittings with a wrench, do not hand tighten!
11. Test the gas lines for leaks and loss of pressure over a 24-hour period. When you are finished testing and have
found no leaks, cover the pipes, level the ground and finish setting the foundation.
Note: Your gas supplier can verify the gas flows and pressures available for your installation.
