Installation Details

Gas Requirements

The fire feature should be placed on a flat and level surface. It will arrive with the burner and burner plate set inside the unit. Burner hardware has been installed at the factory but will need to be checked for proper tightness after transportation. Refer to the corresponding section below for set-up on your unit. All units must have clearance to combustible surface of 4ft on all sides & 6ft from the top.

Propane Gas

• Gas Pressure: 11 inches water column
• Gas Input Flow: 65,000 BTUs/HR

Make sure the foundation is flat and level prior to placement. Units that use liquid propane will come with a burner, orifice, flex hose and regulator that will attach to the propane tank. This gas hose will need to go from the tank to the burner. The hose should connect from the key valve within the unit, through a vent underneath and to the propane tank. Make sure all fittings are tightened properly with a wrench, do not hand tighten! An additional flex hose will be attached to the other end of the key valve to the flare fitting at the bottom of the burner. The arrow on the key valve should be pointing the direction of the gas flow (towards the burner plate on your fire feature).
Fire features do not include propane cylinder; you will need to provide one. The liquid propane supply cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for propane gas cylinders as required by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT).

Internal View of Components

Propane Gas Quick Connection
The fire feature is equipped with a quick connect brass connection. Coupled with the brass connection on the propane hose to quickly and conveniently provide proper pressure to operate the fire feature as well as a sealed connection to the tank.

To Connect:

1. Pull the sleeve back on hose connection.
2. While sleeve is in the back position push onto connection on the fire feature receiver.
3. Release sleeve. (sleeve will automatically slide into place)
4. Gently tug/pull on the hose to ensure connection has been made.

To Disconnect:

1. Push inwards on the connection, then pull back on the sleeve.
2. While the sleeve is in the back position pull away the connection on the fire feature receiver.
3. Release sleeve. (sleeve will automatically slide into place)

Operation

Ignition

Refer to the section below according to which ignition system you purchased. An initial burner test should be done prior to filling the pan with media (rocks/glass/etc.)

Manual Light
You will need a fireplace lighter, do not use a match or cigarette lighter as they are much shorter and will light the fuel too close to the burner which may result in serious injury. Ignite your fireplace lighter and hold the tip close to the burner. Insert fire table key and turn it to the ON position to start gas flow to the burner- if you are using a propane tank unit, please note you will need to open the valve on your tank first. If your burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn key to the OFF position and wait 10 seconds before trying again. If the burner still does not light, call your local gas technician to determine if there is a problem. Once burner lights, immediately remove your hand and allow burner to operate for a few minutes before turning it off. Make sure the valve is properly closed every time you leave your fire feature unattended and remove key. For propane units, ensure that valve on tank is completely closed when fire feature is not use.

You are now ready to place the fire media onto the burner pan. Slowly pour media onto pan and spread evenly. Fire media should be sparsely spread out enough to cover pan. Only use the recommended amount of media in your unit (the amount provided), overfilling may result in smaller flame and gas buildup which may cause an explosion. Fresh air must be able to pass through the unit. Do not block or obstruct any vents on lower and upper parts of the fire feature. These are designed to ensure proper combustion and ensure no buildup of residual gases within the unit.

*Battery Ignition only available for Propane Gas Units**
Find the panel on the side of your unit, the knob should be at the 12:00 position. This type of ignition takes one AA battery (not included). To insert battery, turn the black battery receptacle to the left of the knob counter- clockwise until it unscrews and comes off. Insert battery and carefully place receptacle knob back in position and screw back on. You may need to apply light pressure but do not overtighten as it may damage the knob and threads. To ignite unit, ensure knob is in the 12:00 position to start. Push the knob inward and turn clockwise to the 6:00 position. You should hear the igniter sparking and the gas should ignite. Continue to push knob inward until burner lights, wait a few seconds and release knob. If the flame does not stay lit, push the knob back in and allow spark to reignite. If you do not hear the igniter sparking, your battery may be drained and will require replacement. Regulate the flame by turning the knob clockwise until it is to your liking. The knob will not go past the 9:00 position. If the flames are still too low or too high, have the pressure regulator checked for proper operation. Push knob inward and turn counter clockwise all the way back to the 12:00 starting position. If the knob does not turn the system off, contact your gas professional to replace gas valve. Only use factory approved parts for replacement.

Once burner lights, immediately remove your hand and allow burner to operate for a few minutes before turning the knob all the way back to the 12:00/off position. You are now ready to place the fire media onto the burner pan. Slowly pour media onto pan and spread evenly. Fire media should be sparsely spread out enough to cover pan. Only use the recommended amount of media in your unit (the amount provided), overfilling may result in smaller flame and gas buildup which may cause an explosion. Fresh air must be able to pass through the unit. Do not block or obstruct any vents on lower and upper parts of the fire feature. These are designed to ensure proper combustion and ensure no buildup of residual gases within the unit.

Electronic Ignition
Prism Hardscapes offers a separate installation guide for the Electronic PH- Ignite System. All other electronic system guides must be requested from their corresponding manufacturers.

CAUTION: Open flames will ignite combustible materials such as clothing, fabric, hair, etc. which may result in serious injury, property damage and/or death. Be cautious of the open flames while burner is lit.

Adjustment
Allow the fire feature and media to cool down before moving or adjusting. This may take from 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on the size of the fire feature. Any shifting of fire media or feature should be done after the entire unit has cooled. Also prior to movement, ensure that all gas valves are completely closed and disconnected.
Refer to Section 1.4 for instructions on how to safely move your unit.

Caring for Unit
It is recommended to wipe the unit down before every use, and always clean any spills immediately so as not to allow stains to set in. Cleaning can be done with mild soap, water, and a rag. We also recommend resealing the unit after 2 years with a water-based concrete sealer

Troubleshooting

Section 5
