NOTE: The illustration and order of installation is for example only. Make sure to follow all gas line and post installation requirements for your location. We recommend the post be installed by a qualified installer. Leak test all connections before use.
Suggested Order of Installation
a) Determine a location for the post.
b) Dig the post hole to the required depth. Pour the cement footing and place
the post into the footing, making sure to support the post in a vertical
position. Make sure the gas line access hole is pointed the correct
direction*, is at the correct depth, and leaves enough room for gas line hook-
up.
c) Dig the trench to the required depth and install the gas line. Run the flex
line included with this kit through the post and attach it to the gas line.
You may wish to cap the flex line and leak test it at this time.
d) Back fill the trench and area around the post to meet all local
requirements.
e) With the gas line shut off, install the Tempest (see the Tempest manual).
Before attaching the Tempest head, leak test the connections. Turn on the gas
and thoroughly test operation of the Tempest.
- The access hole is positioned so the front, sides, or back of the Tempest, when installed, is directly over the access hole (the mounting holes for the head are at a 45° angle to the access hole).
