Congratulations! You have just purchased a AMD Direct, Inc “Pro Series” Snowflake Burner. These are Brass Burners that come with a 18” burner. Each model burner incorporates individual injectors that eliminates the need for a main burner orifice. It uses 24 injectors in each burner.

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 fireplace when heavy rains, high humidity and moisture are present. Light the fireplace; 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 3 Burner specifications.
Disclaimer: BTU listings are based on 7.0”WC for Natural Gas and 11.0”WC for Liquid Propane (LP) at the burner orifice. 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.

CAUTION:
No LPK conversion kits are available for brass burners.
You must order the correct burner.

PREPARING A NON-COMBUSTIBLE STRUCTURE

Description: These fire pits are designed to be installed into a non- combustible enclosure. They are a “flat metal pan”” style system to make installation quick and convenient. Media (not supplied) is required inside the burner area for operation (See page 9).

WARNING: Proper clearances from combustible materials must be maintained from all sides, top and bottom of this appliance. Use the specifications listed on pages 4 for proper clearance to combustibles.
AMD Direct, Inc fire pits are constructed and tested to follow the rigid ANSI standards for gas appliances and manufactured safely providing dependable and certified products. If these fire pits are not installed according to the installation manual (i.e. not providing ventilation, not providing proper drainage, installing fire pits below grade or modifying the existing products from a normal installation) AMD Direct, Inc cannot be responsible if the product does not operate as designed.
Modifying the fire pit directly out of the carton will void the warranty and nullify the product listing it was certified for.
Before you consider creating your own custom design with a certified product ensure you contact AMD Direct, Inc to consult the installation before proceeding. If you move forward and modify a product without consulting, Firegear Outdoors cannot be responsible if the product does not operate as designed.
The fire pit can be installed on a flat, stable surface, away from any combustible materials. Install fire pit on any level, outdoor non-combustible, flat stable surface or a combustible floor according to the clearances specified in this manual.
NOTE: Do not place fire pit directly on grass, dirt, or rocks this may prevent proper ventilation. Ensure proper water drainage is also incorporated into the fire pit enclosure.

HARD PIPING TO FIRE PIT WITHOUT GAS PROXIMITY
NOTE: Refer to the NFPA54 (National Fuel Gas Code) for proper pipe sizing. See gas line sizing chart on page 7 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. BE CAREFUL! Ensure all gas connections are snug, but do not over tighten!
  2. Extend the gas supply system using minimum of ¾” black iron pipe or an approved flexible gas line from existing house supply. This can be accomplished by teeing off or tapping into a gas line connection. Install necessary pipe for the distance required and then install a manual shut-off valve at the exterior house wall. If pipe is to pass through a foundation or house wall, make sure to re-seal the area around the pipe with weather sealant.
  3. The primary gas shut-off (not supplied) will require a ½” male flared fitting to enable connection of the stainless steel flex gas line supplied with the fire pit (see Fig. 7 page 9).

IMPORTANT
Installation of Natural or LP gas should be done by a qualified installer, service agency or gas supplier.
This appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½” psig (3.5kPa)
Injectors/Jets – Fire features using a Firegear Pro Series brass burner incorporates individual injectors/jets on each burner leg. All injectors are protected by a injector cover that is provided with each burner. The injector hole size is measured by using a numbered drill bit. An injector/jet 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. Note: The Firegear Pro Series brass burners DO NOT USE a primary main burner orifice like a standard stainless steel burner. A steel nipple is installed in place of the primary burner orifice. Each injector is installed at an angle inside each burner leg to maximize flame appearance.
ALL PAN OR FLAT DISCS MUST BE REMOVABLE FOR SERVICE Pans or Discs CANNOT be installed in a manner to prevent them from being removed for service. Top coping material or top cap of fire pit MUST NOT overlap onto the pan or disc surface without easily being removed. Pan lip of disc edge must be unobstructed so it can be lifted our of the fire pit for servicing. We highly recommend the use of a flex frame kit for all installations.

PREPARING A NON-COMBUSTIBLE STRUCTURE

VENTILATION FOR NON-COMBUSTIBLE ENCLOSURE
Fire pits are subjected to many outdoor elements such as rain, snow, wind, heat or cold. A minimum of 18 square inches (two opposite sides) of cross ventilation is required to keep the components in good working order. Use Fig. 3 as guide to assist to incorporate proper ventilation.AMD Direct FPB-
25SFPSSF11TPSI-N Square Flat Pan Fire Pits - Cross Flow
Ventilation

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.

INSTALLATION OF FIRE PIT INTO AN APPROVED ENCLOSURE

REQUIREMENTS

  1.  Only non-combustible materials should come in direct contact with any part of the fire pit. Underneath area should be non-combustible or a flat level combustible surface according to the clearances specified in this manual.
  2. Refer to the NFPA54 (National Fuel Gas Code) for proper pipe sizing. Determine the size of the fire pit you are preparing to install (Refer to page 7).
  3. You must provide a rectangular opening cutout to place the fire pit into the non-combustible enclosure. Refer to Table 1, dimension A.
  4. Follow the local code requirements for the gas type being used. This fire pit 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 pits create high temperatures, it is very important to have any combustibles at a safe distance.
  6. CAUTION: A minimum of 18 square inches of cross ventilation (opposite sides) is required to keep the enclosure dry. See Fig. 3.
  7. These products are designed for outdoor use only. Not approved for any indoor use.
  8. This fire pit is designed to have AMD Direct, Inc lava rock or glass media completely covering the burner, so that the burner is not visible. Do not cover more than 1” above the top of burner. Ensure the injectors are not blocked by any media. Use lava rock a minimum of 1” diameter as a base to fill the burner pan. DO NOT USE STONE OR RIVER ROCK.
  9. Gas lines and fittings must be installed into the non-combustible structure. All gas connections must be leak tested before installation of the fire pit. Soapy water leak detection is required before regular use of the fire pit.
  10. Do not use media 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. See Caution on bottom of page 3.
  11. Never leave any combustible material on top of the fire pit. This could cause unsafe operation of this system and damage to the component that will not be covered under our warranty.

FINAL PREPARATION

INJECTOR HOOD/RAIN SHIELD INSTALLATION
Install the hood/rain shields over top of each injector of the pro brass burner by sliding it into position. Use the bead in the lower section of the hood, and align it with the groove in the injector, until it snaps into place. See Fig. 8. Rotate the hood to ensure it is protecting the injector opening from the elements (i.e. rain, dirt or media). See Fig. 9 for proper alignment. Note: If there is no detent in the injector, ensure the hood is ½” from the base of the injector to the bottom edge of the hood.AMD Direct FPB-
25SFPSSF11TPSI-N Square Flat Pan Fire Pits - Injector CAUTION: It is imperative the “open side” of all hoods covering the injectors/jets are installed facing downward.
Because the hoods can be removed or turned, the orientation is extremely important to protect the injector or jets from dust, dirt or rain. See detail in Fig. 9.
WARNING: Failure to orient the hoods in the proper position on the burner tube will void the manufacturer warranty.

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. Placing the lava rock in the pan by hand, ensures no excessive dust from bag lays in the bottom of pan and potentially plugs the burner port holes or the pan weep holes. DO NOT BLOCK INJECTORS WITH MEDIA.
IF USING AMD DIRECT, INC GL GLASS OR GLR REFLECTIVE GLASS, ENSURE THE MEDIA DOES NOT BLOCK THE INJECTOR HOLES.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT PLACE ROCK OVER TOP OR UNDER THE PILOT SCREEN COVER. The screen must be free of any debris to ensure proper lighting of burner and good flame sense (See Fig. 10).
Cover the burner completely with media but do not make the depth greater than 1-inch over-top of the burner port holes.
Do NOT cover the top of mesh pilot hood with any rock or glass. It must be free an any debris to operate properly.AMD Direct FPB-25SFPSSF11TPSI-N

FIRE PIT MAINTENANCE

  1. The fire pit 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 pit is dangerous and voids all warranties.
  4.  During winter months in cold climates and various seasons of operation the fire pit may be affected by weather conditions. It is recommended to use a ventilated cover over top of your fire pit to protect it from humid/rainy weather conditions when not in use. Heavy rains/downpours could affect the fire pit 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 pit 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.

Brass Burner Maintenance Information:

  • Dust in injector – Use compressed air from aerosol can or compressor.
  • Check for bug nests or stubborn debris – replacement where necessary.

Note: Always use safety equipment including but not limited to SAFETY glasses or goggles when using compressed air and consider a disposable mask for particulate.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

Symptom Remedy
Fire pit won’t light 1. Bleed gas line.

2. Ensure all gas supply lines are turned ON.
3. Ensure there is not too much media over top of burner; it can inhibit gas from flowing.
4. Check gas pressure.
Low flame| 1. Ensure the base media is at least 1-inch in diameter and top media is no more than 1-inch over top of burner and do not cover injectors.
2. Ensure all shut-off valves and key valve is fully open. See page 9; Fig. 7
3. Check gas pressure.
Water in my fire pit| 1. Excess dust/sand material from media may be blocking the weep holes to relieve water.
2. Remove all media and unplug weep holes. Clean or install new media free of dust and dirt.
3. Ensure fire pit enclosure has proper drainage for water and proper ventilation to dry out.
