**** All media (i.e. lava rock, lava stones, lava boulders and fire glass) has the potential of thermal spalling. This is a process that may occur when media is wet and moisture gets trapped inside of the material due to rapid temperature differences. When this happens the media has the potential to crack or “pop” outside the fireplace.
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND COVERING ALL FIRE FEATURES WHEN NOT IN USE
The use of a cover can lessen the impact of thermal spalling; however, heavy rains, high humidity and the presence of moisture may still cause the media to pop.
ALWAYS USE CAUTION WHEN USING THE FIRE FEATURE
Extra caution should be taken when lighting a fire feature after heavy rains, high humidity and moisture are present. Light the fire feature; leave the area allowing any moisture in the media to dissipate. We strongly recommend that during this drying out time that you monitor the fire feature from a distance. This drying out period should be no less than 30 minutes. Continue monitoring the flame from distance to ensure that all popping has ceased before fully enjoying the fire.

Table 1 Fire Bowl Specifications (* Bowl must be on a non-combustible surface)

Table 2 Btu Specifications

Disclaimer: Btu listings are based on 7.0”WC for Natural Gas and 11.0”WC for Liquid Propane (LP) to the gas valve. Flex line size and proper gas pipe sizing will also affect Btu’s. As a result your Btu’s may vary slightly from Table 2 specifications.

Table 3 Gas Pressures

WARNING: Proper clearances from combustible materials must be maintained from all sides, top and bottom of this bowl. Use the specifications listed for proper clearance to combustibles.

PREPARING A LOCATION FOR FIRE FEATURE

NOTE: The AMD Direct Fire bowls are constructed of Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC). The bowl weighs 83 LBS without media or the burner system installed. Ensure the structure you are placing these fire features on is solid enough to securely hold the weight. IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR AT LEAST 2-3 PEOPLE TO ASSIST IN MOVING THE FIRE FEATURE INTO PLACE.
Install the fire bowl on any level, flat, stable, non-combustible surface. NOTE: Do not place bowl directly on grass, dirt, or rocks as this may prevent proper ventilation. Water drainage is designed into all Fire Bowl models. Ensure not to block/plug the drain areas to prevent potential damage to your fire bowl.
The Fire Bowl can be plumbed with either Natural or Propane (LP) gas. See Fig. 3. If you choose to run hard pipe to any Fire Bowl model, enter through center (bottom) of the bowl; protrude pipe no higher than 4” above ground level.

HARD PIPING TO FIRE FEATURE WITHOUT GAS PROXIMITY
NOTE: Refer to the NFPA54 (National Fuel Gas Code) for proper pipe sizing. See gas line sizing chart on page 6 of this manual as a reference.

1. Turn OFF gas supply system. NOTE: All gas connections (except for brass to brass) require the following. Clean pipe threads using either a wire brush or steel wool. Apply pipe sealant to the fittings before making any connection.
2. BE CAREFUL! Ensure all gas connections are snug, but do not over tighten!
3. Consult a plumber for proper installation to ensure you are providing adequate gas supply for your application.
4. The primary gas shut-off (not supplied), will require a ⅜” male flared fitting to enable connection of the stainless steel flex gas line supplied with the fire feature.

FLEXIBLE PIPING TO FIRE FEATURE

1. Do not place an LP tank inside any fire feature enclosure. Locate all propane (LP) tanks outside the enclosure inside an approved separate enclosure a minimum of 60” from the Sanctuary Series. Flex line can run through any vent holes. If using Propane gas an FG-LPRK regulator (not included), must be used and a FG-12QDK quick disconnect kit (not supplied) enables the use of a Propane (LP) gas tank connection. See Fig. 3.

HIGH ELEVATION INSTALLATION
This appliance is listed for elevations from 0-4500 feet in Canada and the U.S. If elevation exceeds 4500 feet it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by changing the existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Input should be reduced 4% for each 1000 feet beyond the 4500 feet above sea level. Check with your local gas utility for assistance in determining the proper orifice in your location. In some cases the heating value may already be reduced and downsizing the orifice may not be necessary. Refer to NFPA 54 Table E.1.1(d) for high altitude orifice sizing.

• Liquid Propane (LP) Gas flow is given in thousands of BTU/hr. = 1 cubic foot of LP gas – 2500 BTU.
• This chart refers to low pressure LP, after regulation, Standard nominal pressure at the burner for Liquid Propane Gas is 11” of water column.
• Pipe length must include additional length for all fittings. Add approximately 5 feet of pipe per fitting.
• LP Example: A machine with a burner that requires 440,000 BTU would need a 1” pipe for a 20’ long run.

NOTE: The sizing charts above list the specific pipe sizes required for the amount of BTU’s for a new gas line installations. If you are using an existing gas line you must take into consideration the existing gas line capacities to ensure you will have proper pressure. This chart is for reference only, we recommend you consult with a Licensed Plumber/Gas Fitter or NFPA54 (National Fuel Gas Code – current edition) for more details.

Table 4 Gas Pipe Sizing Chart

PRE-INSTALLATON CHECK LIST FOR SINGLE INSTALL

GAS INFORMATION
Gas Volume – Ensure the correct size pipe is used for the total gas load. If installing more than one fire bowl, ensure the correct size pipe is based upon the distance of the furthest fire bowl away and the total gas load is for all gas appliances on that gas line (i.e. fire bowl, BBQ, torches, etc.).
Gas Pressure & Type of Gas – Verify the gas pressure being supplied to all fire features, if applicable. Is the fire bowl configured for the proper gas type? The True Flame Fire Bowl is shipped for Natural gas (NG). To convert to Propane (LP) gas, a conversion kit must be purchased separately.

Manual Shut-off/Key Valve – A manual key valve is preinstalled into the Fire Bowl.

CAUTION: Ensure you read through page 9 before running the gas line. The water line must be run at the same time to the bottom center of the bowl.
Purging a New Gas Line – Has the gas line been purged of both air and possible debris? Any gas lines buried underground must be pressure tested up to 60 PSI to ensure no leaks. After inspection is complete, most plumbers will release pressure in the line at one location by opening the manual ball/key valve. It is recommended to release pressure by opening a ball/key valve associated with all the fire features. Example: There are four fire bowls on a job, open the first key valve for a few seconds, then close it. Then move on to the next key valve and do the same thing until you have purged the debris out of all four gas lines.
Main Burner Orifice – All fire bowls MUST have a main burner orifice installed on the inlet side of the burner. An orifice limits the amount of gas flow to the burner to ensure the flame is a safe and reasonable height to not pose a risk to people or property. The drawing below shows a Natural Gas (NG) orifice. LP gas needs more ventilation and requires the removal of the stainless sleeve on the venturi tube to provide a cleaner flame. See Fig. 4 and page 14 for more detail.

MEDIA INFORMATION
Acceptable media placed over top of the burner:

Lava rock media (22# bag) is supplied with bowl. See page 10.

DRAINAGE INFORMATION
For any fire bowl ABOVE ground level requires a drain line or a way for water to exit the bowl.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS OF ALL FIRE FEATURES

REQUIREMENTS

1. This fire bowl is permitted to be placed on a stable, flat combustible surface. The area underneath must be a solid level surface maintaining clearances according the specifications in this manual on page 4.

2. Refer to the NFPA54 (National Fuel Gas Code) for proper pipe sizing. See Table 4 on page 6.

3. Determine the model fire bowl you are preparing to install (Refer to page 4).

4. Follow the local code requirements for the gas type being used. This fire bowl 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.

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

6. These fire bowls are designed for outdoor use only. Not approved for any indoor use.

7. These fire bowls are designed to have lava rock completely covering the spur burner, so that the burner is not visible.
   Do not cover more than 1” above the top of the covered burner. When purchasing lava rock use a minimum of 1 to 2-inch diameter as a base to fill the burner pan.

8. Gas lines, water lines and fittings must be installed into the non-combustible structure. All connections must be leak tested before installation of the fire feature. Soapy water leak detection is required on gas lines before regular use of the fire feature.

9. Do not use material 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.

10. Never leave any other combustible material on top of the fire bowl. This could cause unsafe operation of this system and damage to the component that will not be covered under our warranty.

11. Ventilation is built into the bottom of each fire bowl. No additional vents are required. WARNING: DO NOT BURY THE BOTTOM OF THE CONCRETE BOWL INTO EARTH OR OTHER TYPE OF MEDIA . THIS CAN OBSTRUCT AIR FLOW VENTILATION AND VOID THE WARRANTY.

IMPORTANT
Installation of Natural or LP gas should be done by a qualified installer, service agency or gas supplier.
The appliance and its manual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of ½” psig (3.5kPa).

PREPARING THE BOWL FOR INSTALLATION

Carefully lift the burner pan and media out of the bowl and lay aside. The gas flex line is pre-assembled from the key valve to the burner pan venturi and orifice. See Fig. 5. Cut or snip the zip ties inside the bowl and remove the supplied media. Discard the cardboard and zip ties.
Place the bowl into position overtop of gas supply line. Remove the plastic cap from the installed key valve and connect a flex line (not supplied) from the gas supply to the key valve. Ensure the connections are tight and secure. Test for gas leaks before proceeding.
Lower the burner pan assembly back into the bowl, resting on the inside lip and conduct a test fire. After test fire is complete, proceed to placing media on top of burner.

FIRE & WATER BOWL INSTALLATION

GENERAL INFORMATION
Installation of the bowl for use with water requires planning ahead to ensure you know where the water will be exiting the bowl (i.e. swimming pool, fountain, etc.) It is not recommended to let the water fall/drain directly onto the ground without some type of drainage.

RUNNING GAS AND WATER LINES

• The gas piping shall be installed underground to each fire bowl. The piping shall be reduced to 1/2” NPT at each bowl.
• To eliminate pressure drop, ensure the length of pipe and the quantity of elbows used is minimal. NOTE: Do not use yellow corrugated flex gas lines.
• Gas and water lines should be centered in the middle of the column, pedestal, or location the bowl will be placed. See Fig. 6.

CAUTION: Ensure both gas and water lines protrude far enough into the bottom of the bowl to enable your connections.

CONNECTING GAS AND WATER LINES TO THE BOWL
Step 1: Lift the burner pan out of the bowl and set aside.
Step 2: Carefully place the bowl overtop of the gas and water lines. CAUTION: Two or more people may be needed to sit the bowl in location.
Note: Secure bowl with a mounting plate (not supplied) or adhesive bowl to prevent tipping.

INSTALLATION OF SCUPPER WATER LINE
Water flow requirements: 12-15 gallons per minute (GPM).
Scupper has a 3/4” male fitting. See Fig. 7.
The scupper is secured to the bowl and will require a flexible stainless water line. See Fig. 8.
Once the water line is secured, turn ON the water and check for any leaks, then finish the gas line as instructed on page 8.

MEDIA PREPARATION

MEDIA SPECIFICATIONS
The AMD Direct Fire Bowl models are approved for use with lava rock. Use the media supplied in the bottom of the bowl. 30” bowls use 22 lbs of AMD Direct, lava rock Lava rock height should be level and no higher than the top lip of the bowl (approximately 2“ depth from burner pan).

INSTALLATION OF MEDIA INTO BURNER PAN
Install lava rock into the burner pan. Ensure the lava rock is a minimum of 1-inch diameter for proper operation.
Note: Do not pour Lava Rock directly from bag. It should be placed naturally and NOT packed in tight. Loose fitting is important to ensure robust flames. Be sure rocks are free of any excessive dust. This prevents the burner pan weep holes from being plugged and holding water.

REPLACEMENT PARTS

REPLACEMENT PARTS LIST

FIRE BOWL MAINTENANCE

1. The fire bowl should be inspected and cleaned before initial use at least annually by a qualified field service person.
2. Any component that is found faulty must be replaced with an approved component.
3. Any tampering or modifying with the fire bowl is dangerous and voids all warranties.
4. During winter months in cold climates and various seasons operating the fire pit may be affected by weather conditions. It is recommended to use a cover/lid for your fire bowl to protect it from humid/rainy weather conditions when not in use. Heavy rains/downpours could affect the fire bowl operation if not covered; if this occurs ensure you allow the fire pit time to dry out before attempting to operate. NOTE: If a combustible type cover is used over the fire bowl when not in use be sure to remove it before operation to prevent a severe safety hazard.
5. Over time stainless steel parts can discolor when heated, usually a golden or brown hue. This discoloration is normal and does not affect the performance of the appliance.
6. Ensure you blow the water lines out at the scupper to prevent any freezing when winterizing.

GFRC MAINTENANCE

• To care for your GFRC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete) product, please utilize careful judgment. It is a durable and forgiving material, but that does not mean you can expose it to harsh chemicals or mechanical cleaning methods which could damage the outer finish. Instead, we recommend you use a soft brush with natural or synthetic bristles, utilizing very light pressure and water to clean the concrete items.
• Concrete by nature, is a porous material and therefore, susceptible to staining. In addition, over time it will age sometimes changing the color just as the common household driveway will. Sealing of products is always recommended to protect the original appearance. Our products are sealed prior to shipment, but the continued care and resealing of the product will be needed every 4-5 years to protect the appearance.
• With a concrete sealant, your concrete will look great and natural for many occasions. Prolonged contact with overly acidic, heavily pigmented or alkali substances should be avoided. We recommend cleaning any spills as quickly as possible. Take caution against use of caustic acids to clean or resurface concrete products. Such caustic acids have historically been used to clean pools, sidewalks or other porous concrete surfaces. These acids will etch the surface and change the structure of the concrete at the surface level. Our concrete is made to have a denser and cleaner look; such etching from caustic acids will change that clean, smooth finish.
• DO NOT USE HARSH ABRASIVE CLEANERS, ACIDS, PIGMENTED CLEANERS OF ALKALI SUBSTANCES ON CONCRETE PRODUCTS. While in some applications it MAY be safe to use muriatic acid/hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, or other strong chemicals to clean concrete, DO NOT use these cleaners to clean the items we sell made from reinforced concrete. This WILL damage the beautiful finish on the outside of the concrete. Such chemical cleaners are not applicable for use on this type of material.
• Additionally, we do not recommend using high-pressure cleaning, as this could remove the sealed finish. Using a garden hose will be enough pressure to clean the concrete. For normal spills, a quick wipe up and gentle “scrub” with a cotton cloth or similar, should be enough to clean. For stains, which contain dark colors or have been sitting for an extended period of time, you can use a mild soap. Under extreme cleaning needs, you can use a standard mild household chlorine bleach, available in most retail stores, diluted to a very weak mixture of about 1/4 cup bleach to 1 gallon of water. Use this mixture over the entire surface you wish to clean, to ensure even cleaning. Only do this as a last resort as it could change the appearance of the product.
• Please also note that fissures (hairline cracks), can appear on the surface due to age and/or exposure to the atmospheric conditions. These commonly don’t have an effect on durability and do not compromise the structural integrity of the product.

LOF-BO-LP36 (Natural to LP Gas Conversion)

This instruction will properly convert the fire pit from Natural gas to Propane (LP) gas. Follow the steps below to proceed.
See Table 2 on page 4 for proper LP orifice.

Step 1: Shut OFF gas supply.
Step 2: Remove media from fire bowl.
Step 3: Carefully lift fire pit out of the bowl.
Step 4: Remove the ⅜” flex connector from the main burner orifice. See Fig. 13 for reference.
Step 5: Remove the flared fitting. Inside the end of the flared fitting is the main burner orifice. Remove the burner orifice and replace it with the new

2.7 LP orifice for the correct model fire bowl.

Note: No Teflon tape or thread compound is required when threading brass to brass fittings.
Step 6: After the main burner orifice and brass fitting is removed then slide the air shutter sleeve off the burner tube and expose the hole for the LP gas (Figs. 14 & 15).
Step 7: Install the main burner orifice and brass fitting back into the burner tube.
Step 8: Reattach the 3/8” flex connector to the flared fitting.
Step 9: Reinstall media.
Step 10: Installation is complete. Reinstall the fire pan into the bowl, turn ON the gas supply and conduct a leak test before presuming normal use.
