Gas & Electrical Requirements

Gas & Electrical Requirements

To help ensure proper performance, your fire feature will require an adequate gas supply and, depending on the ignition option selected, may require electrical power.

Gas Supply Requirements

Available for Natural Gas (NG) or Liquid Propane (LP). Most installations connect to an existing gas line or an external propane tank.

Most residential fire features operate between 90k and 300k BTU. Larger fire tables and commercial installations may require 300k BTU to 600k+ BTU.

As burner size increases, larger gas lines and sufficient gas supply become increasingly important.

Natural Gas Pipe Sizing Guide (Approximate Maximum BTU Capacity)

1/2" Pipe • 20 ft: 118k BTU • 50 ft: 72k BTU • 100 ft: 50k BTU

3/4" Pipe • 20 ft: 247k BTU • 50 ft: 151k BTU • 100 ft: 104k BTU

1" Pipe • 20 ft: 466k BTU • 50 ft: 284k BTU • 100 ft: 195k BTU

1¼" Pipe • 20 ft: 957k BTU • 50 ft: 583k BTU • 100 ft: 400k BTU

Liquid Propane Pipe Sizing Guide (Approximate Maximum BTU Capacity)

1/2" Pipe • 20 ft: 200k BTU • 50 ft: 122k BTU • 100 ft: 94k BTU

3/4" Pipe • 20 ft: 418k BTU • 50 ft: 255k BTU • 100 ft: 197k BTU

1" Pipe • 20 ft: 787k BTU • 50 ft: 480k BTU • 100 ft: 372k BTU

1¼" Pipe • 20 ft: 1,620k BTU • 50 ft: 985k BTU • 100 ft: 763k BTU

Typical Examples

• 150k BTU fire feature: Often served by a 3/4" gas line

• 300k BTU fire feature: Often served by a 1" gas line

• 500k BTU fire feature: Often served by a 1¼" gas line

Actual requirements vary based on pipe length, fittings, regulators, gas meter capacity, elevation, and other connected appliances. Pipe length should also account for fittings, with the manufacturer reference chart noting approximately 5 ft of added length per fitting.

Ignition & Electrical Requirements

The following ignition and control options are available depending on your desired features and available power source.

Push Button Spark Ignition: No electrical service required.

All Weather Electronic Ignition: Requires a nearby 120VAC power source.

Bluetooth & WiFi Control Module: Optional add on for compatible electronic ignition systems. Utilizes the same 120VAC power source as the ignition system.

Rechargeable Battery Bluetooth & WiFi Module: Optional all in one battery powered ignition and control system for installations where line voltage is unavailable or difficult to access.

Available Controls

Wall Switches • Timer Switches • Emergency Stops • Bluetooth • WiFi • Hi/Lo Flame Control • Smart Home Integration • Building Automation Systems

Professional Installation

Final gas and electrical connections must be completed by qualified licensed professionals in accordance with local codes and regulations.

Important

Gas sizing charts and BTU references are provided as general guidelines only. Actual gas availability varies by installation. Always consult a licensed gas professional to verify gas capacity, pipe sizing, pressure, regulator sizing, meter capacity, and code compliance before installation.
