VENTILATION FOR NON-COMBUSTIBLE ENCLOSURE

Fire pits are subjected to many outdoor elements such as rain,

snow, wind, heat or cold. A minimum of 18 square inches

(two opposite sides) of cross ventilation is required to

keep the components in good working order. Use Fig. 3 as

guide to assist to incorporate proper ventilation.

INSTALLATION OF FIRE PIT INTO AN APPROVED ENCLOSURE

REQUIREMENTS

1. Only non-combustible materials should come in direct contact with any part of the fire pit. Underneath area should

be non-combustible or a flat level combustible surface according to the clearances specified in this manual.

2. Refer to the NFPA54 (National Fuel Gas Code) for proper pipe sizing. Determine the size of the fire pit you are

preparing to install (Refer to page 7).

3. You must provide a rectangular opening cutout to place the fire pit into the non-combustible enclosure. Refer to Table

1, dimension A.

4. DO NOT place an LP tank inside any fire pit enclosure. Locate all Propane (LP) tanks outside the enclosure.

5. Follow the local code requirements for the gas type being used. This fire pit should be installed in accordance with

local codes and ordinances or in the absence of local codes, with the latest National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1

NFPA54 or CSA B149.1, Natural and Propane Installation Code in Canada.

6. Fire pits create high temperatures, it is very important to have any combustibles at a safe distance.

7. CAUTION: A minimum of 18 square inches of cross ventilation (opposite sides) is required to keep the

enclosure dry. See Fig. 3.

8. These products are designed for outdoor use only. Not approved for any indoor use.

9. This fire pit is designed to have AMD Direct, Inc lava rock or glass media completely covering the burner, so that the

burner is not visible. Do not cover more than 1" above the top of burner. Ensure the injectors are not blocked by any

media. Use lava rock a minimum of 1" diameter as a base to fill the burner pan. DO NOT USE STONE OR RIVER

ROCK.

10. Gas lines and fittings must be installed into the non-combustible structure. All gas connections must be leak tested

before installation of the fire pit. Soapy water leak detection is required before regular use of the fire pit.

11. Do not use media that will absorb moisture over time and will not release this moisture quickly. Moisture can boil in

this material and can rapidly break apart and cause damage or personal injury. See Caution on bottom of page 3.

12. Never leave any combustible material on top of the fire pit. This could cause unsafe operation of this system and

damage to the component that will not be covered under our warranty.

13. Ensure proper water drainage is also incorporated into the fire pit enclosure.
