Placing tank closer than 48" to the
fire pit can overheat the tank and
cause release of propane through
relief openings and can result in tank
fire or explosion.
Propane tank must be set inside of
the included tank support ring. Do not
use the fire pit if tank is not inside of
the support ring or with the tank in
the incorrect position.
CONNECTING THE LP TANK
1. The knob on the LP tank must be
closed. See that the knob is turned
clockwise to a full stop.
2. Check that the control knob on the fire
pit is turned off.
3. Remove the protective cap from the LP
tank valve and coupling
nut, if present.
4. Hold the regulator in
one hand and insert the
nipple into the valve
outlet. Be sure the nipple
is centered in the valve
outlet. The coupler
connects to the large
outside threads on the
valve outlet
5. Hand tighten the coupler
clockwise until it comes
to a full stop. Firmly
tighten by hand only.
6. Place the tank to the side or rear of the fire pit. Make sure the
hose does not touch any part of the burner drum housing.
The fire pit is to be used only with the 20 pound, vertical
standing vapor withdrawal type tank. This fire pit is designed
to operate on LP (Liquefied Propane) gas only. The 20 lb LP
cylinder used with this fire pit must conform to the following
requirements:
• Type 1 Connections
• Diameter - 12" (30.5cm)
• Height - 18" (45.7cm)
• Maximum capacity of 20 pounds
The gas cylinder used must include a collar to protect the
cylinder valve. The cylinder supply system must be arranged for
vapor withdrawal.
Follow the instructions stated on gas cylinder tanks when
filling or transporting tanks. Failure to do so could result in
problems relating to overfilling, excessive venting release of
gas and to regulator freezing. Never fill the cylinder more than
80 percent full.
In the connection process, the HVR side of the connection
will seal on the back check in the valve, resulting in a slight
resistance. The connection requires about one-half to three
quarters additional turn to complete connection. Any fuel
supply cylinder used must be constructed and marked in
accordance with specifications for propane cylinders of the U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT)CFR 49 or CAN/CSA B339.
Do not allow dirt or foreign material to get into or onto tank
connection when it is not attached to the fuel supply system.
Use the protective cap provided. Place dust cap on cylinder
valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the
type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided
with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may
result in leakage of propane. Cylinders must be filled before
initial use. All handling, transport, filling and storage of LP
gas cylinders must be in accordance with NFPA 58 Storage
and Handling of Liquid Petroleum Gasses, or CAN/CSA b149.2

The gas pressure regulator provided with this appliance must
be used. This regulator is set for an outlet pressure of 11" H20.

Replacement pressure regulators and hose assemblies must

sticker on side of fire pit for regulator model number. The
for proper
regulator/hose assembly should be handled carefully to prevent
connection to
contamination by foreign objects and dirt. The assembly should
LP tank valve
be inspected before use and any dirt or contamination should
be wiped off. The hose assembly must be replaced prior to
the appliance being used if there is any evidence of excessive
abrasion or wear, or if the hose is damaged. In order to insure
proper operation, any replacement of the regulator assembly
must be with parts authorized by manufacturer. Valve/pressure
regulators are factory set to the correct operating pressures. No
attempts should be made to adjust these settings.
Cylinders must be suitably tied down during transport. Do not
place any other items on top of cylinders at any time.
Cylinders are not to be exposed to excessive temperatures or
high heat. Refer to the data plate for model identification.
Units are factory equipped for use on only one type of fuel.
These units cannot be, and should not be used on other types
of fuels. Doing so can cause severe damage to the unit and
the installation area and the added risk of serious injury. Any
attempt to operate this product on fuels for which it is not
designed voids the manufacturer's warranty.
This unit is not to be utilized with a non-self-contained LP-gas
supply system.
