Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, International Fuel Gas Code, Natural Gas, and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, or
Propane Storage and Handling Code, B149.2, as applicable. Consult your local gas supplier or propane gas dealer for code
regulations and recommended procedures.
!
The appliance must be disconnected from the gas supply piping during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in

Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior to and after starting the Fire Pit Burner.
Gas Line Connection
Installation must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier (In Massachusetts a
licensed plumber/gasfitter).
An accessible manual gas shutoff valve is required on the gas supply to the appliance and must be installed
upstream of the appliance gas control valve. Check with the local authority having jurisdiction for any additional
requirements.
The supply regulator (the regulator that attaches
directly to the residence inlet or the propane
tank) should supply gas at the required input
pressure detailed in the section "Gas
Specifications" on page 5. Contact the local gas
supplier if the regulator is at improper pressure.
The gas should be stubbed into the area under
the appliance indicated by the shaded boxes
(see diagrams to the right and below).
If the key valve is located within 25" of the
appliance gas control valve, the included gas
flex will provide sufficient length to make the
connection (see right). If the key valve is
located in the stripped areas shown, additional
gas pipe will need to be supplied by the installer.
The appliance comes with a 34" flex attached to
the fire pit gas control valve. Connect the other
end of this flex to the key valve in the firepit
enclosure wall.
Connect the incoming gas line to the key valve
using either flex and an adapter or hard pipe
(not included).
