HPC Fire Round Flat Fire Pit Burner Kit (On/Off Electronic Ignition)

HPC Fire Round Flat Fire Pit Burner Kit (On/Off Electronic Ignition)

The HPC Fire Round Flat Fire Pit Burner Kit with On/Off Electronic Ignition is a commercial-grade, automated outdoor fire insert manufactured by Hearth Products Controls (HPC). Engineered specifically for seamless, flush-mount installations within custom masonry block, stone, or concrete fire pit islands, this premium kit features a clean, ultra-low-profile round flat pan (plate) design.

The system centers on HPC's standard On/Off Electronic Ignition (EI) system. Equipped with an on-board smart antenna, it delivers instant, automated full-flame ignition via a handheld remote control or directly from your smartphone or tablet.

Streamlined 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 real-time operations, and run system diagnostics straight from a smartphone.

• Instant Full-Output Command: Includes a dedicated smart handheld remote control. Unlike the 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 dangerous pooling, then initializes a safe, automatic re-light sequence.

• Thermal Protection Auto-Shutoff: Housed within a sealed, weather-resistant lower electronics 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 Elements

• Campfire-Style Penta Burner Layout: Standard on all packages 18 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.

• Heavy-Duty Spun Round Flat Pan: Precision-crafted from thick commercial-grade 304 stainless steel, the flat drop-in plate provides a perfectly flush layout for structural support. It is outfitted with integrated weep holes for quick water drainage and a specialized raised center burner hub to stop rain from entering the primary gas line manifold.
