The Gas Firepit Burner is designed to work with the following Gas Types

Specification

Unpacking the Box

Care should be taken when removing the Firepit burner from its packag-

ing. The main burner and mounting plate are connected to the control box

with two flexible gas pipes, a copper thermocouple lead, and a thin wire

Piezo lead.

If the copper thermocouple lead becomes kinked or damage this will ren-

der the burner inoperative.

Extreme care should be taken when handling the assembly, to ensure the

main gas and pilot connections are not loosened, or become kinked. If

these are damaged before or during installation, it could render the

burner inoperative or dangerous This ‘flexibility’ allows for easier installa-

tion in different sized pits. It also allows the burner and mounting plate

to be lifted clear of the pit during maintenance, whilst still being con-

nected to the control box.

Factory Burn Test

Please note: ALL Firepit Burners have been burn tested prior to leaving

the factory. Although each unit is cleaned, there may be the odd scorch

mark around the pilot and main burner gas jets.

Installation

For the Natural version, a registered gas safety engineer should be used to connect the

gas supply.

For the LPG version, this can be connected by whoever is installing the Firepit burner.

(Just like connecting your barbeque) Unless you are running the pipe work under-

ground, in which case a gas safety engineer should be used.

There are five stages to complete before you can use your Firepit Burner:

Design Design your garden layout, Firepit location, Gas pipe runs etc.

Build Build the ‘pit’ that will house the Firepit Burner. Run gas pipes.

Install Install the Firepit Burner. Connect to gas supply. Test for leaks

Test Test the burner before completing any permanent work.

Finish Finish building/Installing. Cover burner with lava rock, Test again.

Select a Suitable Location

Gas Firepits must be located at a safe distance from your house, or any combustible

structure, such as a shed, or wooden fence etc. Never install a gas fire pit close to a

power source, or overhanging power cables. Also, before you decide on the installation

spot, make sure that there are no electric cables or other services under the ground.

Generally, a distance of at least 3 meters from nearby structures is recommended. Do

not install under any form of roof covering, or near overhanging trees etc. Never use a

gas Firepit inside your home. Fire pits are meant for outdoor use only.

Apart from the safety aspect, you also have to consider the aesthetics and functional

use of your Firepit. It needs to ‘blend in’ and ‘stand out’, as it will quickly become the

main focal point of your garden. Gas Firepits are usually installed in some form of con-

crete or brick structure, to match the surrounding patio area. You will also need some

form of seating surrounding your Firepit. This can either be a permanent structure as

part of your landscaping, or simply use your existing outdoor patio furniture. If using

permanent seating you must consider the ideal distance from seat to Firepit, so you

keep safe, as well as keep warm. A typical distance from the centre of the firepit, to the

edge of the seating would be around 1.3 metres.

Design

What you build will depend on the type, size and shape of your Firepit and the design

of your garden. We cannot cover all conceivable designs and options, but have in-

cluded some ‘generic’ installation ideas, and tips.

WARNING… All Firepits will need ventilation holes at the base of the Firepit. We rec-

ommend either some form of airbrick, or a minimum of 100cms2 area. These air vents

should be positioned at ground level. There are FOUR very good reasons to provide

these.

The Firepit Burner assembly will become a permanent feature built into some form of

permanent structure. However, it would be best to design the ‘pit’ so that the Burner

can be removed without too much effort at a later date. Your Gas Firepit Burner

should last for many years, but like all gas appliances it may need servicing at some

point in time, it would be annoying to have to demolish half the pit, or take up the

patio, in order to fix the problem.

 They allow rainwater to escape from inside the pit, to the surrounding patio

area. Without them, you pit would quickly fill with water, which could cause

damage to your Firepit Burner and invalidate the warranty.

 They allow air to be drawn in, under the Firepit burner. This aids combustion,

and produce larger flames.

 The area under the burner can become extremely hot. Air vents will allow this

excess heat to dissipate.

 LPG Gas is heavier then air, and any un-burnt gas will collect inside the base of

your Firepit. Without ventilation holes to allow this gas to escape, gas will

gradually build up, until it reaches an ignition source, where it will explode

with great force. This could cause serious injury.

Build

A screw on Propane regulator having a capacity of 4kg/h at a supply pressure of 37

mbar must be used. Clip on regulators cannot provide adequate gas flow.

You will also require a minimum 19kg sized propane bottle, as the smaller capacity

bottles cannot provide adequate gas flow.

LPG gas hose should be checked annually to ensure it is in good condition. It is recom-

mended that it is replaced in accordance with standard practices

When the appliance is not being used for prolonged periods the hose should be discon-

nected from the appliance and the regulator disconnected from the cylinder. The as-

sembly should then be stored to avoid adverse effects that may result from weather-

ing. The cylinder should be stored in accordance with recommended practices.

The hose should be located so that it is not a trip hazard, it is not subjected to undue

strain or placed where is could be damaged. The hose must not be buried underground

and there should be a good flow of air around the hose.

LPG Installation

Your local Gas Safety Engineer will know how to run underground gas pipes. We rec-

ommend taking the feed from as near to the meter as practical. There will need to be a

main isolating valve close to this feed, which should be easily accessible. This will be

used to cut off the gas supply to the Firepit when it’s not being used OR in an EMER-

GENCY.

WARNING… Failure to install this correctly could cause serious injury. If the installa-

tion does not conform to local gas regulations, it may invalidate your home insur-

ance, and could also be illegal.

Natural Gas Installation

Our Firepit Burner has been manufactured, very accurately. However, building a brick

or concrete ‘pit’ to house the burner assembly may not be so accurate. Therefore

building the pit and installing the burner, should be carried out at the same time.

The installation should also allow room for connecting up the gas supply.

The main valve housed inside its stainless steel control box, has to be pushed in quite

hard when lighting the pilot light. Therefore the box must be secured quite rigidly in

the surrounding pit. The Burner assembly complete with backing plate, should be

supported in some way, but not fixed permanently. This will allow for easy removal

to connect the gas supply and for maintenance at a later date.

Set the valve lever to the off position. Loosen the grub screws and remove the lever.

Remove the four retaining screws and carefully slide out the front of the control box.

Note, ensure the piezo lead does not become disconnected or damaged. There are

two holes in the base of the control box, which can be used to secure the box into the

surrounding brickwork. Once the box is secure, slide the front cover back into place,

ensuring the piezo lead is still attached and undamaged. Replace the retaining

screws. Replace the valve lever in the off position and tighten the grub screws.

To secure the control box to the surrounding structure, there are two mounting holes

inside the base of the control box. You will need to disassemble the control box in

order to access the securing holes.

Install

NOTE: The metal tray that the burner is

mounted onto will warp and bend due to

the heat. This does not affect the safe op-

eration of the burner and is purely cos-

metic. We recommend setting the burner

down around 75mm below the top surface

of your pit, so any warping won’t show

Once the gas feed pipe is connected and tested for leaks, the Firepit burner can be lit

for the first time. This may take several attempts before the pipes are purged of air.

Note, the burner is designed to operate with Lava Rock covering the burner. This

helps to dissipate the gas whilst adding air to the mixture. DO NOT operate your

firepit burner for too long without the lava rock.

Note, with the LPG version without the lava rocks, you might notice black smoke

coming from the flames. This is quite normal. Once the lava rocks are in place, this

smoke will disappear. You will also notice a build up of soot on the burner arms.

Again, this is due to the lack of air due to running without lava rock. After you’ve

finished testing and the burner has cooled, simply clean the burner with a damp

cloth.

WARNING.. The flames coming from your Firepit burner are almost INVISIBLE during

the day, so don’t assume it’s not working just because you can’t see anything. Once

you are happy everything is working safely, then it’s time to finish the details.

There may be some building work that needs finishing off, but by now the Firepit

should be in and working.

The final part is to cover the burner with lava rock. DO NOT simply tip the bags of

lava rock onto the Burner, as the bags usually contain some fine dust which could

clog the burner jets. It’s best to empty the bags into a suitable container and then

place the rocks by hand around the burner.

Place the rocks only one layer deep, and do not cover the pilot cage. Too much

lava rock can cause the burner to overheat

Once you’ve arranged the lava rock, test again. Warning, Lava Rocks become very

hot, but don’t glow red so they look cold when the flames are out. Let them cool

down before you touch them again.

As placement of the lava rock is pretty random, this can effect the ‘look’ of the flame

pattern. Sometimes moving the rocks around can produce a more desirable affect.
