7. Install Fire Ring using either Teflon tape or gas plumbing 
pipe dope. Holes in the Fire Ring MUST FACE UP. 
6. Install the Heat Deflector Shield. Notice the heat shield has 
a notch on one side. Position the Pilot Burner in the notch 
ONLY when using either a 6” or 18” fire ring. For all other 
burner sizes attach the Pilot Burner to the heat shield on the 
opposite side of the notch as shown in photo at right. Use the 
two screws that came with the heat shield to attach the Pilot 
Burner to the heat shield.

Installation – Propane
Note: Installation should be done by a qualified service technician that is locally licensed.
1. In the photo at right there is a bowl with a gas riser, electrical 
conduit and air line stubbed up inside the bowl. In this photo the 
gas riser is centered, the electrical conduit is off center slightly and 
the air line is off set center by 5”. It is preferred to stub the gas 
riser centered in order to ensure the fire ring is centered in the 
bowl once installation is complete. 
NOTE: Drainage MUST be provided in the bottom of the bowl. 
Drainage can be obtained by making a simple hole as shown at 
right or providing a drain line next to the gas and electrical 
conduit.

2. Apply pipe dope to the gas stub and thread the AWEIS onto 
the gas riser as shown in the photo at right. 
NOTE: Leak Test – it is highly recommended to perform a gas 
leak test at this point in the install. Turn on the gas supply and 
then, using a soapy water solution spray the bottom of the 
AWEIS where it is connected to the gas line to ensure no leaks 
exist.
