Selecting the right connection kit for your fire pit is crucial for ensuring a safe and efficient installation. The type of kit you need depends on the fuel source and whether your fire pit will be permanent or portable. Here’s a breakdown of the available options to help you make the best choice:
None (Burner and Pan Combo Only)
- Overview: If you prefer a more customized setup, you may opt for just a burner and pan combo without a connection kit. This option gives you the freedom to configure your fire pit installation based on your specific needs.
- Best For: DIY enthusiasts or projects where you want to fully customize the connections at a later time.
- Note: Optional connection kits can be purchased separately if you decide you need one after the initial setup.
Built-In Connection Kit
- Overview: This option is designed for fire pits that are connected to a permanent fuel source, such as a natural gas line or a direct plumbed propane hard line. The kit includes components for a secure and durable connection that will remain fixed in place.
- Best For: Fire pits that are built into a permanent structure or those that use a hard-plumbed natural gas or propane line.
- Advantages: Provides a stable, long-term solution without the need for regular reconnection. It’s ideal for stationary fire pits in residential or commercial settings.
Portable Connection Kit
- Overview: The portable connection kit is designed for fire pits that use a liquid propane tank. This kit makes it easy to connect or disconnect the fire pit from the propane tank whenever necessary, such as when the fuel source runs out and needs to be replaced.
- Best For: Fire pits that rely on portable propane tanks, especially those that are moved or repositioned frequently.
- Advantages: Offers flexibility for refueling and mobility, making it ideal for portable or outdoor fire pits that aren’t permanently fixed in one location.
Which Kit Should You Choose?
- If you’re using a natural gas or direct propane line for a built-in fire pit, the Built-In Connection Kit is the best choice for a long-lasting, permanent connection.
- If you have a portable fire pit running on a propane tank, the Portable Connection Kit offers the convenience of easy attachment and detachment for refueling.
By understanding your specific installation requirements and fuel source, you can select the right connection kit to ensure a smooth and efficient fire pit setup.
