HPC Electronic Ignition Rectangle Insert Torpedo H Burner

HPC Electronic Ignition Rectangle Insert Torpedo H Burner

This is from HPC’s top-of-the-range Electronic Ignition Series, providing a high degree of safety and control of your gas fire pit. Several features set it apart.

• The Safety Pilot flame ensures the main burner gas will flow, keeping the fire pit alight. However, if the flame is blown out, the gas supply shuts down preventing a potentially hazardous build-up or pooling of gas.
• The system will then automatically commence the Start sequence, relighting your fire pit. All this without any assistance or input from the fire pit user.
• The EI range has options that allow the fire pit to be operated and controlled by a wall switch, remote control, whole house system, or even a Bluetooth app on your phone!
• And then there’s the precision-engineered Torpedo nozzle which, according to HPC, develops a bigger, warmer flame without excessive gas consumption.

What are the Options when ordering

The HPC Electronic Ignition Rectangle Insert Torpedo H Burner is available with the following options:

Select Size

The HPC Electronic Ignition Rectangle Insert Torpedo H Burner has two models.
The On/Off version is available in eight sizes. The Hi/Lo units are available in seven 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 Type

What is the difference between the two EI models of the HPC Electronic Ignition Rectangle Insert Torpedo H Burner?

• On/Off – This model allows your fire pit to be switched On and Off by a wall switch, and even your Smart House System. To make this a “remote-controlled fire pit”, there is a handheld Remote Control add-on for the 120 VAC Plug & Play model.
• Hi/Lo  – A Smart Remote (hand-held) is included, facilitating flame height adjustment, which can be set to either High or Low. The Low setting creates a 45% reduction in flame height. The remote also receives information from the fire pit to advise users of the fire pit status (flashing LED).  Although this system cannot be used with your Smart House System it can be controlled via the HPC Fire Smart Device Bluetooth App. It enables a reliable connection to Apple and Android phones within a distance of 20 feet from the antenna.  The free Bluetooth Smart App incorporates a timer, troubleshooting codes, total operational hours, and internal temp monitoring.

Select Your Voltage

The EI range is available in 120VAC or 24VAC versions. 24VAC is typically used poolside or with other lower voltage requirements.
A Class II 24VAC, 4 amp, 100 W transformer must be used. HPC highly recommends the HPC SEBCO 100W Power Supplies for low voltage installations available in the Accessories and Components section of this website.

How does it Work?

The HPC Electronic Ignition Rectangle Insert Torpedo H Burner once installed is remarkably easy to use.

• Start-Up: Turn the Unit on using the wall switch, remote control, or App depending on your model and setup. When the ON command is received, the system completes initial safety checks and then starts the flow of pilot gas. After 5 seconds, the 24v Hot surface Igniter glows, igniting the pilot flame. When the system confirms the pilot flame is present, the main burner gas will flow to be ignited by the pilot flame.
• Operation: While enjoying the ambiance of your fire pit, the system is at work monitoring flame status, internal temperatures/voltages, and other safety parameters. If flame loss does occur, the system will turn off all gas flow and then restart by automatically commencing the Start sequence.
• Turning off: This can be done via the wall switch, remote control, App, or whole house system depending on your setup. 

The HPC Electronic Ignition Rectangle Insert Torpedo H Burner Components

The HPC Rectangular Electronic Ignition Fire Pit Kit comes fully assembled and ready to install. These firepit kits comprise a stainless steel rectangular insert and a Torpedo H-burner with an EI (electronic ignition) system mounted to the underside and protected within a stainless steel valve box.

The insert is manufactured from 304-grade stainless steel, with drainage holes to prevent water accumulation; they are 2.5″ deep, and the lip is 1.3″. The installation is easy, the pan sits within a cutout on the top surface of the fire pit structure, supported by the lip. 

The Torpedo H-Burner features a precision-engineered nozzle which, according to HPC develops a bigger, warmer flame without excessive gas consumption. For more detailed information please refer to the Torpedo Burners page.
