Stanbroil Fire Pit Gas Burner Spark Ignition Kit – Including Push Button Igniter Gas Shut-Off Valve with Key

5 stars all day! This is a mounted valve panel with a built-in ignition clicker. Not a regulating assembly. Know that going in! Yea, I can turn down the keyed valve and throttle my propane, but that’s just fine and what I expected.I bought this assembly to go along with the Stanbroil 6” x 60” fire pit tray/insert. I hard plumbed it underground to our tank that also feeds our outdoor kitchen. Zero problems whatsoever. Pretty sure the negative reviewers are just not familiar with common gas plumbing. In any event, this is a legit setup for the price. I will add though- the air mixer body does not come with your fire pit insert, nor does it come with the ignition panel. If you’re burning propane, you WILL need this. Don’t sweat it bro- $11…All things considered, I’m still wondering why it comes with a 4” - 90° return on the stainless panel. I cut that off with a skinny wheel and shaped it off with a flap disc so i could face mount it on my fiber cement siding. Associated pictures are for the beta run.Net effect… I’ve got a best friend that works in HVAC; he told me he couldn’t beat that number on a Napoleon unit.Go for it.

Overall, I found the unit well designed with some nice features to handle various install situations.I've uploaded some photos and two videos on the ignitor focusing on the box I built since I couldn't mount it to the actual fire bowl because the bowl is solid granite.A few topline thoughts:1. The unit itself is well-designed. For example, the ignitor button unscrews from the front to make it easy to change the battery when needed.2. You'll notice that the metal bracket holding the ignitor button and the valve on/off control is a right-angle piece of metal with holes on the face to mount it that way and the base if needed. In my situation, I just needed the face plate, so I cut off the base part using my Dremel so it wouldn't get in the way. That is why you don't see it in my uploaded photos.3. One thing not obvious is that if you unscrew the round trim where the on/off key goes and undo one screw in the back, you can separate the valve from the faceplate. This is handy during installation as it makes it easier to mount the faceplate and separately ensure the gas lines to and from the valve are installed to the proper tightness.4. Before laying your gas line to the ignitor, ensure you don't have to upsize your gas line from the meter to provide enough flow to the burner. Given the distance, I had to increase mine from 3/4" to 1", and then I just used a reducer to connect the line to the ignitor. The distance doesn't matter at that point, and if you have enough pressure to that point, you will be fine.

Quality product but I couldn't get the igniter to work with my Liquid Propane setup. You'd have to try to bend the 2 prongs so that they are hovering very close to one of the gas pin holes of your burner ring. Instead I bought the FPK Push Button Ignition Kit from Woodland Direct, because it is a single prong igniter that creates a spark between the prong and the fire ring. Then I used a Dremel to widen the hole in this bracket in order to mount the other Igniter button in it. Turned out good. The gas valve of this Stanbroil product is excellent, and this Stanbroil metal bracket is perfect for mounting to your firepit.

The media could not be loaded. Works great with the table top bar unit

The ignitor didn't even last the firepit installation phase. It wasn't the battery either. Speaking of installation, the 3/8" fittings added for convenience have to be replaced with 90 degree elbows for use in a rock fire pit. Now for the valve - wow, a quarter turn does nothing to fine-tune gas flow. We have better luck using the regulator on the propane bottle to adjust flame height.This product is basically a really expensive, clumsy gate valve.

This was exactly what we needed to complete our project. With a little extra ingenuity I was able to drill a hole through one of our cement bricks and mount this. I did need some PVC sprinkler parts to extend the valve from the finish chrome piece to connect it. Worked well.

Per their installation video, there's a part missing from this kit.

Good
