Pilot System Site Requirements

1. Clearance

Square & Round Firepits

You will need to have 36″ from the fire pit to a permanant combustible surface. This means stationary items like a fence or shingled house wall.

Linear Firepits

For Linear models there must be 48″ room to a combustible surface. This is measured from the long side of the fire pit. The sides are 36″ to combustibles. Couches and movable furniture are not taken into consideration for the clearance requirements. 

2. Fuel

Not compatible with portable propane tanks.

Pilot systems are not compatible with portable propane devices. These are designed for fixed plumbing systems only such as large on property propane tanks, or natural gas. 

Please note that BTU output also fluctuates between fuel options. Check the manual of the model to identify how much BTU each model would provided depending on the fuel. This is because natural gas and propane burn at different temperatures.

Other Ignition Options

Using a portable propane tank or have a covered patio ? 

Then consider our battery operated push button systems or low clearance stainless steel burner options. Still featuring a lifetime warranty on burners and with a fantastic flame these are designed to operate with the low pressure available in small propane tanks.

This certification guarantees that our manual pilot ignition system is safe and reliable. You can trust that your fire pit meets strict safety standards, making it a smart investment for any homeowner.

ETL Mark

ETL Certification Program was developed by Intertek (the international company) to help manufacturers test their products’ quality and safety. The test usually takes place in an independent recognized laboratory that confirms the reliability and trustworthiness of the results. 

 Testing a full appliance goes beyond just a day at the lab.

  • All components of a system must meet strict standards for quality and performance.
  • Each fire pit system has been rigorously tested in all weather conditions from severe winds to heavy rain for safe operation.
  • The firepit control system itself must be safe to use.
  • Heat outputs are carefully measured and checked to enforce reliable heat performance
  • To maintain certification regular in-house testing must be conducted to ensure firepits maintain approved certification requirements
  • Our factories are visited regularly by 3rd Party Inspectors to ensure that there are no substitutions to approved critical parts and to check our operating procedures and systems.

Safety is an ongoing commitment – not just a piece of paper.
