POST INSTALLATION:
1. Obtain from your dealer 3” OD post.
2. Install inside post (1/4” od) refrigeration type copper tubing with ¼” flare nuts at each end. Tubing should be
coiled 1 ½ times at top.
3. Tubing should protrude about 6” through hole at bottom of post.
4. Dig a hole 21” deep X 12” wide.
5. Attach the ¼” flare nut at bottom of post to gas supply.
6. Secure post in plumb position and pour concrete around post to just below the level of the line access hole.
INSTALLATION OF LAMP
1. Connect gas supply line to tubing with the ¼” flare nuts at the base of the post and tighten flare nuts
clockwise. No sealants are necessary
2. Install screen, rain shield and finial to top of lamp.
3. Attach gas valve to ¼” flare nut on the copper tubing.
4. Lower lamp onto post and tighten setscrews in the collar of lamp so the lamp is well secured to post.
5. Install mantles (instructions on pack).
6. Check all gas connections for leaks using soap solution. If air bubbles appear, shut off main gas line and
tighten all fittings. NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS!
WALLMOUNT INSTALLATION
The manufacturer does not attach the gas lamp to the wall bracket.
1. When choosing a location for the gaslight it should be located low enough that the top of the lamp will not be
closer than two feet to any combustible material above the lamp or 18” from either side.
2. The supply tube should be connected to a gas source provided at the desired location. All connection and
installation materials must be approved by local, city, state and national codes.
3. After the lamp has been connected to the gas supply and before it is attached to the supporting wall, the
connection should be tested for leaks. Note: never use a match to check for a leak! A soapy solution applied
with a brush works best for finding a leak.
4. Once the connection is made and there are no leaks, the bracket may be attached to the wall. Be careful not to
kink the supply line when attaching the bracket.
5. Secure the aluminum stud inside the wall bracket by tightening setscrew.
6. Secure lamp to bracket by tightening setscrews in collar to the aluminum stud.
7. Install Mantles (Instructions on back).
