HPC 61x8" Linear Interlink Torpedo Push Button Flame Sensing Fire Pit
The HPC 61x8" Linear Interlink Torpedo Push Button Flame Sensing Fire Pit is a drop-in gas burner for a custom linear fire pit: a 61" x 8" 304 stainless steel linear pan with a 60" Torpedo T-burner, rated at 175,000 BTU with push-button spark ignition and a flame-sensing pilot. It needs no electricity (the spark igniter runs on a AA battery). Model numbers are TOR-FPPK61X8-L-FLEX-NG for natural gas and TOR-FPPK61X8-L-FLEX-LP for propane on fixed piping. A small tank version (TOR-FPPK61X8-L-FLEX-LP-ST) runs from a 20 lb or 30 lb propane cylinder at 90,000 BTU.
It is certified for outdoor use.

Installation Notes
- Outdoor use only, installed above grade where water drains away.
- Set the pan at least 2" below the top of the enclosure to protect the flame from wind, and let the pan carry the weight, not the valve.
- Venting: an enclosure needs at least two vents of 18 sq in each on opposite sides.
- Leave at least 2" below the valve for air and drainage, and don't fill the space around it with gravel, rock or concrete.
- Clearances: 36" from the sides to structures or combustibles (12" to noncombustible materials) and 84" overhead, from HPC's clearance figure for push-button fire pits up to 250,000 BTU.
- Put a gas shutoff on the outside of the enclosure, and keep the fire pit covered when it isn't in use.
- Small tank version: keep the propane cylinder in its own ventilated enclosure at least 54" from the fire pit, secured with the supplied bracket, and use only the supplied regulator and hose.
- Use only lava rock or decorative glass over the burner, and don't cover the vents of the pilot's blowout box. Propane installs with glass must be checked for back pressure with the media in place.
- The gas connections should be installed and leak-checked by a qualified gas installer, and checked again every year.
Warranty
HPC limited warranty for residential use: lifetime on the stainless steel burner, 5 years on the stainless steel pan and valve box, 3 years on the electronics and gas valve, and 2 years on the pilot assembly.
