Warming Trends 54" Octagonal Ready-to-Finish Fire Pit Kit

Warming Trends 54" Octagonal Ready-to-Finish Fire Pit Kit — FO54

A ready-to-finish fire pit kit is the shortcut between a bare burner and a finished feature. The FO54 arrives as a 54" octagonal aluminum shell with the U180 CROSSFIRE® burner, pan, sidewalls, and vent kit already built in — you clad the outside in the stone, tile, or stucco you want and connect the gas. No fabrication, no burner sizing, no guessing at vent placement.

54" Octagonal Ready-to-Finish Fire Pit Kit Features

• 54" octagonal aluminum shell with 2" sidewalls, ready to be clad in stone, tile, or stucco
• U180 CROSSFIRE® brass burner producing up to 180,000 BTU
• Fire pit vent kit included and correctly placed — venting is the step most site-built pits get wrong
• FK1 connection kit with a 4" key valve extension included
• Patented WATERSTOP® fitting keeps water and debris out of the gas line
• 6 ignition paths, from match lit upward
• Designed, engineered, and assembled in the USA

Ignition Options

Every CROSSFIRE® burner ships ready for the ignition you choose above. The systems differ in how you light the burner, whether they need power at the fire feature, how much gas they can pass, and — the one worth reading twice — whether they include an automatic safety gas shut-off.

• Match Lit — The simplest and least expensive option — open the key valve and light the burner with a lighter. There is no automatic safety gas shut-off.
• Push Button — Piezo (spark igniter). Turn the key valve and press the button to light the burner, so you never need a flame in hand. There is no automatic safety gas shut-off.
• Mercury (battery driven) — A standing pilot system with a manual control knob to light the pilot and the burner and to adjust flame height. It needs no electricity at the fire feature and adds an automatic safety gas shut-off. Rated up to 240,000 BTU.
• Carbon 3V (battery driven) — A battery-operated electronic ignition with an on/off switch and an available remote control. No electricity required, with an automatic safety gas shut-off. Rated up to 360,000 BTU.
• Cobalt 12V — A 12-volt electronic system, ideal for installations near water. Multiple control options including remote control and home automation, with an automatic safety gas shut-off. Rated up to 490,000 BTU.
• Platinum 24V — A 24-volt electronic system delivering up to 680,000 BTU. Multiple control options including remote control and home automation, with an automatic safety gas shut-off.

What's Included, What's Required (but purchased separately), and What's Optional

The kit is the working half of the fire pit. You supply the finish material and the gas supply.

• Included: the 54" octagonal aluminum shell with 2" sidewalls, the U180 CROSSFIRE® burner and pan, the fire pit vent kit, the FK1 connection kit, and a 4" key valve extension.
• You choose above: fuel type and which ignition system is fitted.
• Required to complete the installation, purchased separately: the stone, tile, or stucco finish, fire glass or lava rock to cover the burner, and a gas line sized and run by a qualified installer that meets the specifications outlined in the installation manual AND any local municipality code requirements.
• Optional: a wireless remote or dial timer if you go with an electronic ignition, an emergency stop for commercial installs, and an access panel for the valve box.
