Planning For Your Firepit or Fireplace
Safe and satisfactory operation of your new firepit or fireplace depends upon its proper installation. Instal-
lation, adjustments and service must be performed by C.A.I. qualified installers and service technicians to
ensure proper operation and prevent accidents.
Location
Your Cal Flame firepit or fireplace is designed and intended for OUTDOOR USE ONLY in a well venti-
lated space and must not be used inside a building, garage, or any other enclosed area. Do not use your
firepit or fireplace for cooking.
Place your firepit or fireplace on a flat and stable surface in an outdoor location such as a patio deck. Do
not locate the appliance where it can get excessively wet or submerged in water.
When determining a suitable location, take into account concerns such as exposure to wind, proximity to
traffic paths, and windows that open into the home.
Locate your firepit or fireplace adjacent to the gas supply line (LP or NG), preferably with the shortest gas
line run possible.
Do not install the log set in an unvented appliance.
Built-In Installation
Your new firepit or fireplace is designed for easy installation into a non-combustible enclosure. The sup-
porting deck and counter must be level and flat. When determining location, provide ventilation in the
enclosure so that gas will not become entrapped in the event of a leak.
LP Gas Requirements
Check the rating plate to make sure the gas supply you are hooking up to is the gas type the
firepit or fireplace is manufactured for.
IMPORTANT WARNING: All Cal Flame firepits and fireplaces are manufactured with the highest
regard to safety. For this reason, Cal Flame firepits and fireplaces are either manufactured to operate on
liquid propane (LP) or natural gas (NG) and cannot be converted. To verify the firepit’s or fireplaces oper-
ating fuel, remove the bottom drip pan and check serial number label on the left. Either LP or NG will be
marked on the operating tab, indicating the proper operating fuel. Attempting to convert Cal Flame
firepits or fireplaces from one fuel to another may result in serious injury and void the warranty coverage.
If you do not have an updated filler valve on your existing propane tank, you will need to purchase one at
your local hardware store, as you will not be allowed to refill the tank at any filling station.
LP Gas Hook Up
An enclosure for an LP gas cylinder shall be vented by openings at the level of the cylinder valve and at
floor level. The effectiveness of the opening(s) for purposes of ventilation shall be determined with the
LP-gas supply cylinder in place. This shall be accomplished in one of the following manners:
1. One side of the enclosure shall be completely open.
2. Enclosures that have four sides, complete with a top and bottom:
