TABLE OF CONTENTS
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 fire feature.
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 when 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.
CAUTION
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
WARNING
This product can expose you to Chromium, which is
known to the state of California to cause cancer
and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

BEFORE INSTALLING A BURNING SPUR DETERMINE WHAT PAN WILL BE USED:
The Spur Burner models above are not provided with pans for installation. We suggest you provide an appropriate non-
combustible burner pan to install the Burning Spur. Burner pans sizes listed in Table 1 are suggested sizes based on the
burning spur model size. The pans can be round, square or a at metal. NOTE: It is recommended to use 304
Stainless Steel. Burner pans should have ¼” drainage holes to prevent standing water in pan and the center hole for the
burner nipple should be ⅞” in diameter. A recommended material thickness for any burner pan or disc is 16 gauge. Once
the Burning Spur is installed into a burner pan then proceed with this manual to complete the installation.
CAUTION: DO NOT use stiff screen or perforated metal as a burner pan. Some gases are heavier than air and
screen or perforated metal can enable the gas to ow down inside an enclosure which could cause delayed
ignitions or explosions.

PREPARING A NON-COMBUSTIBLE STRUCTURE
The re pit can be installed on a at, stable surface, away from any combustible materials. Install Fire pit on any level,
outdoor non-combustible, at stable surface or a combustible oor according to the clearances specied in this manual.
NOTE: Do not place re pit directly on grass, dirt, or rocks this may prevent proper ventilation. Ensure proper water
drainage is also incorporated into the re 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 6 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 ttings before making any connection.
2. Ensure all gas connections are snug, but do not over tighten! BE CAREFUL!
3. Install necessary pipe for the distance required and a manual shut-off valve at the exterior house wall. Check with
local codes for proper procedures. If pipe is to pass through a foundation or house wall, make sure to seal the area
around the pipe with weather sealant. 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 ½” male ared tting to enable connection of the stainless steel
ex gas line supplied with the re pit (see Fig. 5 page 9).
5. Do not place an LP tank inside any re pit enclosure. Locate all Liquid Propane (LP) tanks outside the enclosure.
6. To prevent performance problems with LP gas re pits, do not use a LP tank less than 100lbs. capacity.
IMPORTANT
Installation of Natural or LP gas should be done by a qualied 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” psi (3.5kPa)
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
(opposite sides) of cross ventilation is required to keep the
components in good working order. Use gure 3 as guide to
assist to incorporate proper 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 orice
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 orice in your
location. In some cases the heating value may already be
reduced and downsizing the orice may not be necessary.
WARNING: Proper clearances from combustible materials must be maintained from all sides, top and bottom of this
appliance. Use the specications listed on this page for proper clearance to combustibles (See Table 1 and Fig. 2).

REQUIREMENTS
1. Only non-combustible materials should come in direct contact with any part of the re pit. Underneath area should
be non-combustible or a at level combustible surface according to the clearances specied in this manual.
2. Refer to the NFPA54 (National Fuel Gas Code) for proper pipe sizing. Determine the size of the re pit you are
preparing to install (Refer to page 6).
3. Determine the size of the round or square re pit you are preparing to install (Refer to page 4).
4. You must provide a round or square opening to place the re pit into the non-combustible enclosure. A
minimum burner pan dimension is listed in Table 1.
5. Follow the local code requirements for the gas type being used. This re 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.
6. Fire pits create high temperatures, it is very important to have any combustibles at a safe distance.
7. Do not ll the enclosure cavity with gravel, rock or sand. The enclosure requires free owing air underneath to
keep it cool and provide ventilation to prevent moisture, and additional provided an outlet for gas to escape if a leak
occurs.
8. CAUTION: A minimum of 18 square inches of cross ventilation (per opposite sides) is required to keep the
enclosure dry.
9. These products are designed for outdoor use only. Not approved for any indoor use or any enclosed space.
10. This re pit is designed to have Firegear Outdoors lava rock or glass media completely covering the burner tube,
so that the burner is not visible. Do not cover more than 1” above the top of burner. Use lava rock a minimum of 1”
diameter as a base to ll the burner pan. DO NOT USE STONE OR RIVER ROCK.
11. Gas lines and ttings must be installed in to the non-combustible structure. All gas connections must be leak tested
before installation of the re pit. Soapy water leak detection is required before regular use of the re pit.
12. 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.
13. Never leave any combustible material on top of the re pit. This could cause unsafe operation of this system
and damage to the component that will not be covered under our warranty.
14. Ensure proper water drainage is also incorporated into the re pit enclosure.
INSTALLATION OF FIRE PIT INTO AN APPROVED ENCLOSURE
BURNING SPUR INFORMATION
All Burning Spurs come ready to install and have a ½” male center nipple. The Burning spur must be installed as shown in
Fig. 4 with center nipple facing downward. Ensure to seal each NPT tting with thread tape or pipe compound.
NOTE: Flared ttings do not require tape or compound.
Burning Spur Kit: Included Burning Spur, orice, ared tting, manual key valve with 12-inch key and 46” ex connector.

ATTEMPTING TO LIGHT FIRE PIT
CAUTION: Ensure you have leak tested the re pit before operating.
TURNING ON FIRE PIT
1. Insert key into shut-off valve and secure into square end (See Figs. 8 & 9).
2. Light a long match or butane lighter and hold it near the burner (See Fig. 10).
3. Turn the key slowly counter-clockwise in key valve (ON position) to allow gas to ow
and simultaneously apply the long burning match or Butane lighter as close to the end
burner as possible to light the re pit.
4. Gas should ignite within 10 seconds or less. If re pit does not light within 10 seconds
