Our manual ignition is a simple and bulletproof option that has a modest but important improvement on a key valve system. We are safety conscious and realized that a problem with key valves is that keys can get lost and/or go wayward at a critical time when immediate shut-down of the fire table is needed. Therefore, we have replaced the key with a permanently fixed knob so you will never need to frantically search for a key. We also use the highest quality parts to ensure that safety and also provide a long a product life. FEATURES: Constructed from premium materials such as solid brass, 18-gauge 304 stainless steel and anodized aluminum and assembled with CSA certified parts. The high-tech inspired control panel is made from brushed and anodized, 1/8" aluminum. It is fitted with a machined aluminum control knob which has knurling added for extra grip. Both are laser engraved for its chemical and wear resistance. The proprietary burner design sheds any water that migrates into the burner ring. It will never flood even with the absence of drain holes because unlike our competitors, our burner rings do not require drain holes (which diverts gas and distorts the flame). They also do not require a raised center (which typically poke up from the fire glass). so, a minimum of media (fire pebbles, fire glass) is required to cover the ring. Equipped with whistle free gas pipes which are made of epoxy coated 304 stainless steel and fitted with solid brass connections. Regulated to 65,000 BTU. Easy to convert from natural gas to propane and vice versa.
