When connecting your gas fire pit to a standard 20 lb. propane tank, it's important to note that the tank limits BTU usage to between 90,000 and 100,000 BTUs. Due to this limitation, the largest recommended burner ring size is 18".
Here are the essential components you'll need to safely connect your fire pit to the propane tank:
- Regulator: This controls the pressure of the propane from the tank to the burner, ensuring safe and efficient operation.
- Air Mixer: Helps achieve a proper propane/oxygen mix to produce a clean-burning flame. This is crucial for preventing soot buildup and ensuring a bright flame.
- Fittings, Valve, and Key: These components connect the tank to the burner and allow for easy gas control. The key is used to manually control the gas flow.
- Piping: Necessary for connecting the various components and running the propane to the burner.
