WARNING
• This product is fueled by propane gas. Propane
gas is invisible, odourless, and flammable. An
odourant is normally added to help detect leaks
and can be described as a “rotten egg” smell. The
odourant can fade over time so leaking gas is not
always detectable by smell alone.
• Propane gas is heavier than air and leaking
propane will sink to the lowest level possible. It
can ignite by ignition sources including matches,
lighters, sparks or open flames of any kind many
feet away from the original leak. Use only propane
gas set up for vapor withdrawal.
• Store or use propane gas in compliance with
local ordinances and codes or with ANSI/NFPA 58.
Turn off propane when not in use.

• Connecting NG
NG
1. A professionally-installed shut-off valve between the supply piping and the socket is
recommended, but not required, by the National Fuel Gas Code. Socket connection
must be made outdoors.
2. Coat the gas supply pipe nipple with gas-resistant pipe dope or approved teflon tape. Screw socket onto gas
supply pipe (house gas source), and wrench-tighten.
3. 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 positon.
4. When the quick disconnect socket and the gas hose are connected, a valve in the socket opens automatically
to permit full gas flow. When the gas hose is disconnected, the valve in the socket instantly and positively
shuts off the flow of gas, the grill can be disconnected from the gas source by disconnecting the gas hose
from the quick disconnect socket. The socket should be left attached to the gas source (hose piping).
• Disconnecting NG
With proper assembly, the gas hose cannot be removed without pushing the quick disconnect sleeve back. To
disconnect, push sleeve back and pull plug out of sleeve (this automatically shuts off gas). The appliance and its
individual shut off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing on
that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut off valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5kPa).
This appliance can use two types of fuel/gas: LPG-Propane OR Natural Gas
Suitable LP gas tank size for this appliance is 20 lb (9.1 kg)
Do not fill the LP gas tank with more than 80% liquid gas
The inlet gas supply pressure for the purpose of input adjustment pressure:
LPG-Propane 28 cm (11 in) w.c. (2.74kPa)
Natural Gas 18 cm (7 in) w.c. (1.74kPa)
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shut off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5kPa).

those instructions can cause death, serious injury or property damage.
WARNING
•
•
•
•
Never use your fire pit without leak testing all gas connections, hoses and propane tank.
DANGER
To prevent fire or explosion hazard:
DO NOT smoke or permit ignition sources in the area while conducting a leak test.
Perform test OUTDOORS in a well-ventilated area that is protected from the wind.
Never perform a leak test with a match or open flame.
Never perform a leak test while the fire pit is in use or while the fire pit is still hot.
WHEN TO PERFORM A LEAK TEST:
•
•
•
•
After assembling your fire pit and before lighting for the first time, even if purchased fully-assembled.
Every time the LP gas cylinder is refilled, exchanged or if any of the gas components are disconnected
or replaced.
Any time your fire pit has been moved.
At least once per year or if your fire pit has not been used for more than 60 days.
CAUTION Strong odours, colds, sinus congestion, etc. may prevent the detection of
propane by smell. Use caution and common sense when testing for leaks.
Note: The leak test must be performed in an area that has adequate lighting in order to see if bubbles are
developing and not in a windy or noisy area so larger leaks can be detected by smell or sound.
1. Create a mixture of 50% water and 50% liquid dishwashing soap.
2. Ensure all control knobs are set to the OFF position.
3. Turn on the gas at the cylinder valve. Turn the cylinder valve knob counter-clockwise until
fully opened. If you hear a rushing sound or smell gas, turn the gas off. Tighten any leaking
connections. If the leak is detected at connection nut and tightening does not stop leak, re-inspect
propane tank rubber seal.
4. Apply the soapy water mixture to the following:
A) Supply tank (cylinder) welds
B) Connection nut to tank valve
C) Back side of connection nut to brass nipple
D) Brass nipple connection into regulator
E) Regulator connections to gas supply hoses
F) Hose connection to gas manifold
G) The full length of gas supply hose
H) Tank valve to cylinder
5. Check each place listed (A-H) for growing bubbles, which indicates a leak. Large leaks may not be
detected by bubbles but should produce a rushing sound or gas smell.
6. Turn off gas supply at cylinder valve.
7. Turn on control knobs to release gas pressure in hose.
8. Turn control knobs to OFF position.
9. Tighten any leaking connections. If leak is detected at connection nut and tightening does not stop
leak, re-inspect propane tank rubber seal.
10. Repeat soapy water test until no leaks are detected.
11. Turn off gas supply at cylinder valve until you are ready to use your fire pit.
12. Wash off soapy residue with cold water and towel dry.
CAUTION Natural Gas leak testing is similar to LP Gas leak testing. The difference is you
need to apply the soapy water mixture to the gas supply pipe nipple.
