Customer Q&A with Product Specialists

Harald from Nevada asked:
I am interested in a 30-inch HPC Penta burner and noticed the BTU rating varies from 150,000-300,000 BTU. I have a capped natural gas line from my newly built home. The fire pit will be 30 feet away from the gas source; will a 1-inch line extension provide enough flow to operate properly? I assume the BTU rating is the maximum output, and I don't need flames raging 2 feet high, aiming for about 1 foot or lower.

The HPC 30 Inch Stainless Steel Penta Burner Kit has a maximum natural gas input rating of 300,000 BTU. This figure represents the maximum capacity the burner can support, not a fixed output. The actual flame height and gas flow are determined by the upstream valve you install, as this is a burner-only kit and does not include a valve, key, or flex line.

Properly sizing the gas supply line depends on the total run length from your meter, any other appliances connected to that line, and your local gas supply pressure. Therefore, we cannot confirm if a 1-inch line extending 30 feet will provide sufficient gas flow for this burner. We recommend providing the burner's 300,000 BTU maximum rating to a licensed gas professional. They can accurately size the line from your meter according to local codes and install a valve to limit the flame to your desired lower height.
