LP Gas Manifold Pressure
For plumbed-in LP installation, use a convertible regulator and set it for LP gas.
LP Gas Supply Pressure
Maximum line pressure for plumbed-in propane is 14” W.C psi (3.5 kPa). Minimum line pressure for
propane is 11” W.C.
LP Gas Pressure Regulator
The unit must be used with the gas pressure regulator. The regulator will control and maintain a uniform
gas pressure in the manifold. The burner orifices have been sized for the gas pressure delivered by the
regulator.
LPG Cylinder Specification
Any LP gas supply cylinder used with this firepit or fireplace must be approximately 12 inches in diame-
ter and 18 inches high. The maximum fuel capacity is 20 lbs. of propane, or 5 gallons. Full cylinder
weight should be approximately 38 lbs. (43.7 lbs. nominal water capacity.) Always use the cylinder dust
cap on the cylinder valve outlet during transport and when the cylinder is not connected to the firepit or
fireplace.
