It combines a stainless steel face plate with a gas control valve, thermocouple, spark igniter and connecting leads in one control arrangement for a suitable installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe panel has separate controls for ignition and flame adjustment, with clear markings for the spark function, flame level and off position. It is intended for a compatible gas appliance installation rather than as a universal replacement, so check the measurements, fixing hole and thread type against your existing fire pit or heater before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho it suits\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis system is aimed at anyone replacing or building a compatible control arrangement for a gas fire pit, patio heater or fireplace. It may also suit repair and refurbishment work where the appliance accepts the stated valve connections and the panel can be mounted securely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is not applicable to natural gas. Confirm the fuel type and the appliance requirements before fitting. Gas control components should be installed and checked by a suitably qualified person, with all connections tested appropriately before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat is included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pictured control arrangement includes the flat panel assembly and the associated components identified for the system:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat stainless steel control face plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGas control valve with inlet and outlet connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThermocouple measuring 600mm, or 23.62 inches, in length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpark igniter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeads and ground wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe face plate measures 150 x 96 x 1mm, equivalent to approximately 5.9 x 3.78 inches. Its threaded fixing hole is 6mm, which should be matched to the mounting arrangement on your appliance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConnection and rating guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe inlet and outlet are specified as 3\/8-inch male flare threads for the fire pit gas control valve in and out connections. Check whether your existing pipework and valve arrangement use the same connection type. A matching thread diameter alone does not confirm compatibility, so compare the full connection arrangement before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe maximum stated rating is 50,000 BTU. The detailed rating states a working pressure of 1\/2 PSI, or 65mbar. A separate specification line states 65 bar, which is substantially different. Because pressure requirements are safety-critical, confirm the correct working pressure for your appliance and gas supply with a qualified installer before use rather than relying on an assumed value.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing and fitting the correct option\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfirm that the appliance uses a gas fuel type other than natural gas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasure the available control-panel space and compare it with 150 x 96 x 1mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck that the mounting arrangement accepts a 6mm threaded fixing hole.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfirm that the valve connections require 3\/8-inch male flare threads at the inlet and outlet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllow for the 600mm thermocouple length when planning the position of the control panel and burner components.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck the appliance's required BTU rating and working pressure before fitting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation and care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFit the panel and connected components only as part of a compatible appliance installation. Keep the leads and sensing components routed as required by the appliance design, away from locations where they could be damaged.
