Section 3: Installation Details

3.1 Gas Requirements
The fire table 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 the combustible surface of 4ft on the sides & 6ft from the top. Refer to the section below for the gas type you purchased.
3.1.1 Natural Gas
Gas Pressure: 7 inches water column
Gas Input Flow: 65,000 BTU/HR
Prior to installation, a gas professional will need to run a gas line underground below the foundation where your fire feature will reside. In order to do this, your gas professional will first need to determine the best pipe size based on fuel input requirements (BTU’s/HR), gas pressure, and distance from the gas pressure regulator to the fire feature. Once you have created a trench underground for your pipe, the stubbed-out end should be fitted with a ½” NPT ball valve shutoff (rated for gas usage) and a flare fitting sized for the same size gas hose that is attached to the key valve and burner. Connect your flex hose to the stubbed-out gas pipe then connect the other end to the key valve in your fire feature. The arrow on the key valve should be pointing in the direction of the gas flow (towards the burner plate on your fire feature). Tighten all fittings with a wrench, do not hand tighten! Test the gas lines for leaks and loss of pressure over a 24-hour period. When you are finished testing and have found no leaks, cover the pipes, level the ground, and finish setting the foundation. Once everything is tightly sealed and connected, gently place your burner plate back down into your fire feature; your fire table is now ready to be positioned in its final location.
Note: Check with your gas supplier to verify gas flows and pressures available at the location of your installation. In many cases, utility companies will install larger meters at no charge to accommodate larger flows.
3.1.2 Liquid Propane
Gas Pressure: 11 inches water column
Gas Input Flow: 65,000 BTU/HR
Make sure the foundation is flat and level prior to placement. Units using 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 in the direction of the gas flow (towards the burner plate on your fire feature).
Fire features do not include a 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).

Section 4: Operation

4.1 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.)
4.1.1 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 the 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 the 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 the burner lights, immediately remove your hand and allow the 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 the key. For propane units, ensure that valve on the tank is completely closed when fire feature is not used.
You are now ready to place the fire media onto the burner pan. Slowly pour media onto the pan and spread evenly. Fire media should be sparsely spread out enough to cover the 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 the 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.
4.1.2 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 the burner is lit.
4.2 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 features 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.
4.3 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

Section 5: Troubleshooting

Refer to the section below according to which Gas Type you purchased.
BURNER WILL NOT LIGHT

from the line.
Debris in Gas Line| Confirm gas line is clear and free of obstruction (insulation, dirt, excess pipe sealer, water, etc.). Clearing a line of debris may require help from a professional.
Improper Gas Pressure| Liquid Propane Units: Check if the tank is low or empty, and may need to refill or replace.
Natural Gas Units: Have a gas professional confirm gas pressure.

BURNER WILL NOT STAY LIT

empty, may need to be refilled or replaced.
Natural Gas Units: Have a gas professional confirm gas pressure.
Improperly Applied Fire Media| Media may be too dense; media will need to be reduced and evenly spread.

NOISE
Note: Only use gas hose supplied by the manufacturer as they have been tested for noise.

recommendations (Refer to the subsection for your gas type in Section 3).

UNIT IS SMOKING

both may need to be refilled or replaced.
Natural Gas Units: Contact the local gas company.
Excessive Flame Blockage| Separate and spread media (rocks or glass) evenly to allow flames to spread and pass-through media more evenly.
Improper Air/Fuel Mixture| Remove any foreign items or other combustible materials from the unit & check for proper orifice sizing.

BURNER FLAME IS TOO HIGH OR TOO LOW

hose, one or both may need to be refilled or replaced.
Natural Gas Units: Contact the local gas company.
Blocked burner ports or burner orifice| Clear burner ports and orifice of foreign particles or debris and wipe clean.
Improper Orifice Size| Verify burner orifice is the proper size for the fuel being used. Consult with the factory by emailing tech-support@prismhardscapes.com.

UNIT PRODUCING UNWANTED ODORS

(The gas should be flowing through the hose up to the igniter valve) Inspect hose(s), and check for any leaks at all connections and fittings by using soapy water and checking for bubbles. If a leak is found, turn off gas immediately and consult the factory about replacing damaged/defective components.
If no leak is found:
Liquid Propane Units: inspect propane tank for damage or defect, tank may need to be replaced.
Natural Gas Units: contact the local gas company to inspect.

COLOR FADING

mortar retailer and apply a coat to concrete areas every year.
Wooden Units: Purchase IPE sealer at your local brick and mortar retailer and apply a coat to wood areas every year.
