Round Drop-In On/Off Electronic Ignition Fire Pit Burner Kit by HPC Fire

Round Drop-In On/Off Electronic Ignition Fire Pit Burner Kit by HPC Fire

The Round Drop-In On/Off Electronic Ignition Fire Pit Burner Kit by HPC Fire is a commercial-grade gas fire pit insert meticulously engineered for top-tier residential and commercial outdoor spaces. Offering absolute structural reliability and streamlined operation, the On/Off Electronic Ignition (EI) series provides a standard, high-output static flame setting. It is the perfect turnkey drop-in choice for resorts, restaurant patios, and homeowners who want luxury automation via a remote control or smartphone app without needing variable flame-height adjustments.

Arriving fully pre-plumbed and pre-assembled, this kit removes complex on-site plumbing, slipping directly into custom round masonry block, stone, or concrete fire pit islands.

Standard Electronic Ignition Automation & Safety

• Two-Way Bluetooth App Connectivity: Outfitted with an integrated smart internal antenna that syncs wirelessly with the free, proprietary HPC Fire app (iOS and Android). This allows you to safely turn your fire pit on or off from up to 20 feet away, track operations, and run system diagnostics straight from a smartphone.

• Streamlined On/Off Command: Includes a dedicated smart handheld remote control. Unlike the dual-stage variable track of the Hi/Lo series, this kit features an efficient on/off layout that ignites the system immediately to full, maximized thermal heat and height output on a single command.

• Hot Surface Ignition (HSI) & Pilot Telemetry: Uses a durable hot surface igniter paired with an advanced pilot flame loop and thermocouple. The smart ignition module constantly checks for the presence of a flame. If an aggressive gust of wind suddenly blows out the fire, the valve instantly cuts off gas flow to prevent pooling, then initializes an automatic re-light sequence to safely restart the fire.

• Thermal Protection Auto-Shutoff: Housed within a sealed, weather-resistant lower enclosure are built-in temperature diagnostics. If the internal space gets too hot due to poor venting or excess fire media, the system shuts down immediately to safeguard the electronic circuit boards.

Premium Hardware & Burner Innovations

• Campfire-Style Penta Burner Layout: Standard on all packages 19 inches and larger is HPC's iconic Penta Burner geometry. Machine-welded from thick commercial-grade 304 stainless steel with staggered burner ports, its unique five-point design draws the flames toward the center of the pan, creating a full, natural campfire presentation that wraps beautifully around logs or fire glass.

• Torpedo Nozzle Performance (Optional Upgrade): Available in standard high-efficiency burner configurations or upgraded Torpedo Burner systems. Torpedo models feature specialized precision-engineered brass nozzles that dramatically accelerate gas velocity, throwing tall, roaring, robust flames reminiscent of a real wood fire.

• Self-Draining Drop-In Bowl Pan: Features a deep bowl-style pan equipped with a 1.5-inch perimeter mounting edge rim to drop firmly and securely into the top opening of your non-combustible fire feature housing. Outfitted with integrated weep holes for quick water drainage and a raised center burner hub to prevent rain from pooling or entering the main gas line manifold.
