For more orange fire glassinformation, please contact us. We will provide professional answers.

  • Apply up to 2" depth of fire glass (Natural gas only)

  • Fire glass does not absorb water and allows natural gas to disperse through the media for a full flame effect

Propane Gas Applications:

  • Propane (LP) gas is a heavy gas.  Applying too much media over burner holes may create back pressure and gas leakage resulting in gas pooling in fire pit.  Do not block propane gas burner holes with fire glass media.

  • Refer to manufacturers instructions for approved use of fire glass

  • Service and Installation should be performed by qualified professionals

  • Filler glass is not recommended for propane applications due to the limited amount of glass applied

  • Propane can produce a black soot which discolors fire glass.  Consider using dark colored glass
