Know before you buy
Yes, this system requires professional installation. Because it involves gas lines and electronic ignition components, a qualified technician is necessary to ensure the unit is safely connected and compliant with local building codes.
This pan is designed to hold between 2 and 4 inches of fire glass. We recommend using enough glass to fully cover the burner ring while ensuring the weep holes remain clear for proper drainage.
The weep holes are essential for water management. They allow rainwater or condensation to drain out of the pan, preventing water from pooling around the burner and potentially damaging the ignition system.
The Smart Ignition Technology (S.I.T.) uses a hot surface glow plug to ignite the gas automatically. It also features a built-in thermopile safety sensor that monitors the flame and will shut off the gas supply if the flame is unexpectedly extinguished.
The unit is crafted from 304 stainless steel, which offers excellent corrosion resistance for most outdoor environments. However, if you live in a high-salt coastal area, regular cleaning and the use of a protective cover are recommended to maintain the finish and prevent surface oxidation.
No, the burner is specifically engineered to prevent whistling. The holes are precision-drilled to ensure a smooth, quiet gas flow and even flame distribution.
