The Cal Flame Cancun 903-2 is factory configured for Natural Gas operation.
Factory Fuel
Natural Gas / NG
Optional Converted Fuel
Liquid Propane / LP using the appropriate conversion equipment.
LP conversion: Do not treat the Cancun as a factory Propane fireplace. Appropriate LP conversion equipment is required, and Cal Flame advises that conversion and testing be completed by qualified personnel.
Natural Gas Installation Planning
Natural Gas Service
The owner's manual specifies a 3/4-inch Natural Gas pipe running from the home to the fireplace location.
Shutoff Valve
The gas service should terminate with a shutoff valve and 1/2-inch male fitting.
Flexible Connection
The burner-preparation guidance references an outdoor-rated flexible gas connection using a 3/8-inch NPT fitting.
Regulated Supply
The fireplace must not be connected to an unregulated gas supply.
Leak Testing
A gas leak test is required after connection and following relevant gas-system service.
Qualified Installation
Cal Flame recommends installation by a licensed contractor and compliance with applicable local requirements.

Pressure verification: Final gas pressure and connection requirements should be verified against the fireplace rating plate and current manufacturer instructions before installation.
Liquid Propane Conversion Planning
The Cancun can be converted from Natural Gas to Liquid Propane using the appropriate Cal Flame conversion equipment.
The fireplace itself does not contain an LP-cylinder enclosure. A converted installation using a Propane cylinder requires a separate appropriately ventilated enclosure.
LP cylinder placement: Do not place a Propane cylinder inside the fireplace, underneath the hearth, or near the burner.

Do Not Leave Unattended
Keep children, clothing, combustible materials, and other vulnerable items away from the flame and hot surfaces.
Gas Leak Testing
Cal Flame instructs owners to perform a gas leak test at least once per year and whenever any part of the gas system has been disconnected, replaced, or serviced.
Leak testing must be performed outdoors in a well-ventilated area without smoking, open flames, or another ignition source nearby.
If a leak cannot be stopped: Discontinue use and have the gas system inspected and repaired by qualified service personnel before operating the fireplace again.

Inspect the fireplace, burner, ignition system, logs, and gas connections before first operation.

Flame Authority Expert Recommendation
Choose the Cal Flame Cancun FRP-903-2 when you want a tall contemporary outdoor fireplace that functions as a major architectural feature rather than merely a source of flame.
Its 81-inch height, extended bottom mantel, 34-inch firebox, 90,000 BTU double burner, Weathered Oak log presentation, herringbone ceramic-brick interior, and vented fireplace design make it particularly suited to permanent patios, courtyards, poolside spaces, outdoor kitchens, and entertainment areas.
Before ordering, confirm the complete 48"W × 41"D × 81"H footprint, approximately 650-lb. weight, delivery access, level cement foundation, Natural Gas service, outdoor ventilation, clearances, and selected exterior finish.
If Propane operation is planned, account for the required LP conversion and separately ventilated cylinder enclosure instead of assuming the fireplace is ready for direct Propane connection.
