List of Acceptable Media for Fire Features
Lava Rock (or other Igneous Rock) NO LARGER THAN 2” in diameter
Fireglass approved for use in fire features
Manmade stone for use in fire features (Refractory Material)
Installation Note
The use of media inside fire features is recommended due to the fact it enhances the look of the fire
feature but also improves its performance by forcing the gas emanating from the burner to mix as it
passes through the media. This ‘mixing’ of gases creates an even flame throughout the feature and
helps spread the flame from the Pilot Burner throughout the burner quicker than when there is no
media. Recommended thickness of the media above the burner element is NO MORE than 2”.
Due to the fact the Pilot Burner must be partially exposed to oxygen in order to ignite the pilot flame
during startup DO NOT COMPLETELY COVER THE PILOT BURNER. When installation of the
media is complete the top of the Pilot Burner Protective Cover should be visible.
Operation

turning the fire feature on prior to actually turning it on.
