use.
Section 3 Installation Details
3.1 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 the combustible surface of 4ft on
all sides & 6ft from the top.
3.1.1 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 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).
3.2 Internal View of Components
3.3 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:
- Pull the sleeve back on the hose connection.
- While the sleeve is in the back position push onto the connection on the fire feature receiver.
- Release sleeve. (sleeve will automatically slide into place)
- Gently tug/pull on the hose to ensure a connection has been made.
To Disconnect:
- Push inwards on the connection, then pull back on the sleeve.
- While the sleeve is in the back position pull away the connection on the fire feature receiver.
- Release sleeve. (sleeve will automatically slide into place)
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 the 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 issue and gas source.
BURNER WILL NOT LIGHT
Possible Cause | How to Fix |
---|---|
Air in Gas Line | If newly installed, it may take several attempts to purge air |
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| Check if the tank is low or empty, and may need to refill or
replace.
BURNER WILL NOT STAY LIT
Possible Cause | How to Fix |
---|
Improper Gas
Pressure| Check if the tank is low or empty, may need to be refilled or
replaced.
Improperly Applied Fire Media| **** Media may be too dense; media will need
to be reduced and evenly spread.
NOISE
Note: Only use propane gas hose supplied by the manufacturer as they have been
tested for noise.
Possible Cause | How to Fix |
---|---|
Gas Hose Restrictions | Remove any tight bends or kinks in the gas supply hose. |
Excessive Gas Flow | Check gas regulator and reset if not within factory |
recommendations (Refer to the subsection for your gas type in Section 3).
UNIT IS SMOKING
Possible Cause | How to Fix |
---|---|
Poor Fuel Quality | Propane Gas Units: Inspect propane tank and hose, one or |
both may need to be refilled or replaced.
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
Possible Cause | How to Fix |

being used. Consult with the factory by emailing
tech-support@prismhardscapes.com.
UNIT PRODUCING UNWANTED ODORS
Possible Cause | How to Fix |
---|---|
Gas Leak | DO NOT OPERATE -but leave the gas source on/open (the gas should be |

for any leaks at all connections and fittings by using soapy water, and
checking for bubbles. If the leak is found, turn off gas immediately and
contact support for replacement component(s).
If no leak is found, inspect the propane tank for damage or defect; the tank
may need to be replaced.
BATTERY IGNITION
Possible Cause | How to Fix |
---|---|
Dead Battery | If you do not hear the igniter sparking or producing a spark |
test/change the required AA battery.

Igniter: check igniter probe wire connection behind battery housing. (if
faulty call support, at 951-600-1123)
Fuel: check fuel source/hose.
COLOR FADING
Possible Cause | How to Fix |
---|---|
Exposure | Concrete Units: Purchase cement sealer at your local brick and |
mortar retailer and apply a coat to concrete areas every year.
