3/4 Inch High Capacity Propane Air Mixer Valve by American Fireglass

This 3/4″ High Capacity Air Mixer is a crucial component for Propane Gas Fire Pit Burners, ensuring optimal performance and flame quality.

The Air Mixer Valve draws in air and blends it with propane, maintaining the ideal air-to-gas ratio before it reaches your appliance. Without a proper air mixture, the resulting flame will appear yellow, as undiluted propane is too “rich.” This leads to soot buildup, which can accumulate around the burner and on your fire glass or lava rock.

Yellow flames and soot deposits suggest that the Air Mixer Valve may not be functioning correctly. The potential causes for this are:

1. Incorrect Valve Size: An improperly sized valve can cause the air/propane mixture ratio to be off.
2. Insufficient Ventilation: Inadequate airflow within the fire pit structure can prevent the valve from drawing in enough air.
3. Clogged Jets: Dust, dirt, or even spider nests can block the jets, disrupting the air mix.

The High Capacity Propane Air Mixer Valve by American Fire Glass is made of durable brass, designed specifically for use with their high-capacity propane fire pit kits, ensuring long-lasting performance.

Propane Air Mixer Valve Installation

The Air Mixer Valve is designed to be connected directly to the burner of your fire feature. The arrow stamped on the side of the valve should point in the direction of the gas flow. i.e., from the gas feed to the burner.

These mixer valves are easy to install but do follow the instructions carefully.
