Pyramid Gas Patio Heater (Stainless Steel, 220cm)

What size propane tank does this heater require?

This heater connects to standard propane gas bottles commonly available in the UK. Most users opt for 13kg or 19kg propane cylinders, which provide extended operating time. The connection uses standard UK propane fittings and you'll need a suitable regulator for safe operation. Larger cylinders offer better value and longer heating sessions.

How long will a propane tank last with this heater?

Operating time depends on tank size and heat setting used. A 13kg propane cylinder typically provides 10-15 hours of continuous operation at full output. A 19kg cylinder extends this to approximately 15-22 hours. Actual duration varies based on weather conditions, wind exposure and desired heat level.

Can this heater be used in windy conditions?

The heater functions in light to moderate wind conditions, though performance may be affected. Strong winds can disrupt the flame and reduce heating efficiency. For best results, position the heater in a sheltered location or use windbreaks to protect the flame. The tip-over safety system provides protection if wind causes instability.

What maintenance does this stainless steel heater require?

Regular cleaning with mild soap and water maintains the stainless steel finish. Check gas connections periodically for leaks using soapy water solution. Store the heater in a dry location during winter months to prevent moisture damage. Annual inspection of the gas system and safety mechanisms ensures continued safe operation.

Is assembly required for this patio heater?

Some basic assembly is typically required, involving attaching the base, connecting gas components and installing the glass tube. Most users complete assembly within 30-60 minutes using basic tools. Clear instructions are provided and the process involves standard connections. Professional installation isn't necessary for most people.

How stable is this 220cm tall heater?

The weighted base provides stability for the 220cm height on level surfaces. The centre of gravity is designed to prevent tipping during normal use. However, the tip-over safety system provides backup protection if the unit becomes unstable. Position on firm, level ground away from high-traffic areas for maximum stability.

What's the heat distribution pattern from this pyramid design?

The pyramid flame tower provides 360-degree radiant heat distribution, warming all surrounding areas equally. Heat intensity is strongest within 2-3 metres of the unit, with comfortable warmth extending to the full 16 square metre coverage area. The vertical flame design maximises heat output whilst creating an attractive focal point.

Can this heater be left outside permanently?

The stainless steel construction resists weather damage, but covering or storing the heater when not in use extends its lifespan. Prolonged exposure to harsh weather may affect internal components and gas connections. Use a suitable cover during extended periods of non-use and store in a dry location during winter months for optimal longevity.
