DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion air and ventilation air to the burner.
1. This fire pit comes equipped with a standard LP gas hose and regulator
including the appliance side connection for a CGA No 791 Cylinder
Connection Device. The LP gas hose and regulator supplied with this fire pit
must be used. Only a hose and regulator specified by manufacturer can be
used for replacement.
a. The CGA No 791 connection incorporates a magnetic flow limiting device
that acts to limit the flow of gas if a leak is detected between the regulator
and the burner valve.
b. If the burner valve is open prior to the LP gas cylinder service valve being
opened, the connection will interpret this free flow of gas to be a leak.
c. The connection safety feature will reduce gas flow from the regulator to
the appliance to a minimal level.
Be sure that the burner control valve is closed prior to opening the LP gas
cylinder service valve to ensure that the connection flow limiting device is
not triggered mistakenly.
If the connection flow limiting device is triggered mistakenly, close the LP
gas cylinder service valve and the burner valve, wait 10 seconds to allow
the device to reset, open the cylinder service valve, then open the burner
valve and light the fire
as per lighting instructions.
Be sure to protect the hose from any hot surfaces. Serious danger may
result if the hose contacts any hot surface.
Regular maintenance of the hose and regulator:
Inspect the hose before each use of the fire table. If the hose shows signs
of cracks, abrasions, cuts or damage of any kind, do not operate the
appliance. Fix or replace the hose as required before using the appliance.
For assistance with repair or replacement of the hose, call customer
service at (866) 905-4107. Use only replacement parts from the
manufacturer.
Inspect the seal inside the CGA No 791 service valve on the LP gas
cylinder when replacing the cylinder or at least once per year. If there is
any indication of damage, have the seal replaced by a certified gas dealer
before operating the appliance.
4. Do not use tools to tighten the CGA No 791 connection nut onto the LP
gas cylinder service valve. Hand tighten only.
Glass Media Warning:
5. Be careful to not cross the threads on the connection when tightening the
CGA No 791 connection on to the LP gas cylinder service valve.
6. “Leak Test” should always be performed after attaching the connection to
the LP gas cylinder service valve. (See details on page 26 of this manual).
