This HPC Electronic Ignition Rectangular Drop-In Fire Pit Insert is a CSA-certified, pre-assembled unit built for rectangular fire pit builds. It features a stainless steel drop-in pan, an Electronic Ignition system, and a Torpedo Burner engineered together as a complete, ready-to-install assembly.
The drop-in pan design allows easy installation within a prepared cutout in the fire pit structure, with a perimeter lip providing the support. The Torpedo H-burner is precision-engineered to optimise gas usage while producing a taller, warmer flame profile.
Powered by HPC’s EI system, it provides automated operation with flame sensing and monitoring for safe, consistent ignition. To suit specific project requirements, this system is available across 8 pan sizes and 2 distinct ignition configurations, each offering versatile control methods and multiple voltage choices (120VAC, 24VAC, or 12VAC).

Options
The HPC Electronic Ignition Rectangle Insert Torpedo H Burner is available with the following options:
Select Size
- On/Off: Available in 8 sizes
- Hi/Lo: Available in 7 sizes
Select Gas Type
The kits are available in either Natural Gas or Propane versions. Please note that the EI Series is not for use with small LP Tanks and must utilize permanent fixed piping for fuel supply.
Select Ignition
Choose between an On/Off system, which provides a flexible base setup that pairs with your choice of external controls (sold separately) or smart home integration, or a Hi/Lo system for complete out-of-the-box flame adjustment using the included smart remote and Bluetooth app. Both options are available in standard 120VAC line voltage or low-voltage (24VAC / 12VAC) configurations.
A wall switch or inline power control, such as an emergency stop button, is required on the circuit for safety shutoff. All control accessories are linked at the bottom of the page.
Ignition Type
On/Off
Flame height is not user-adjustable. A trim valve beneath the pan can be set during installation to define the maximum flame height.
Operation: Via wall switch, timer, or remote control (sold separately), and can be integrated with a compatible smart home system.
Hi/Lo
A handheld Smart Remote is included, providing flame height adjustment with High and Low settings (Low reduces flame height by up to 45%). The remote also receives system status feedback from the fire pit via LED indicators.
This model can also be controlled using the HPC Fire Bluetooth App, with a reliable connection to Apple and Android devices within approximately 20 feet of the antenna.
The HPC App includes a timer, diagnostic troubleshooting codes, parental controls, and additional system features.
Operation: Via the hi/lo remote control or the Bluetooth App; both are included.
Voltage
120VAC Models
Plugs into standard household power using a three-prong plug for a GFCI-protected outlet.
24VAC or 12VAC Models
For low-voltage installations (e.g., poolside). Hardwire to a transformer (sold separately) installed in a protected location at a safe distance from water.
