HPC Fire Octagon Fire Pit Enclosure

Your investment includes the complete fire system: Standard burner with lifetime warranty, CSA certified electronic ignition system (select models), precision flame control valve, all gas fittings and connections, powder coated steel octagon enclosure (45" or 54" diameter × 18" height, fabricated in USA), modular design for hardscape integration, fire glass included, detailed installation manual with diagrams, and technical support hotline access.

You'll need a licensed gas contractor to connect the gas line and install the burner system. Electronic ignition models require electrical connection (24VAC or 120VAC). The enclosure integrates into hardscape installations (pavers, stone, concrete). Most installations require excavation for proper depth, gas line routing, and electrical conduit (if applicable). Your contractor will handle permitting and code compliance.

Most installations range $1,200–$3,500 depending on your location, existing gas line proximity, electrical access, and hardscape complexity. Simple installations with nearby gas lines cost less. Complex projects requiring extensive gas line runs, electrical trenching, or custom hardscape integration cost more. Get quotes from 2–3 licensed contractors for accurate pricing.

The Octagon Enclosure is available in two sizes: 45" diameter × 18" height or 54" diameter × 18" height. Powder coated steel construction. Standard burner system. Heat output: Match Lit delivers 65k BTU, Push Button delivers 90k BTU, Electronic delivers 125k BTU. Available in natural gas or propane. Electronic ignition options: 24VAC or 120VAC, or match lit. CSA 2.37 certified for outdoor gas appliances. Modular octagon design for seamless hardscape integration.

The lifetime warranty covers all burner components against manufacturing defects: flame ring, valve assembly, ignition system (electronic models), and gas connections. Coverage lasts as long as you own the enclosure. The steel enclosure carries a manufacturer warranty. Normal wear, improper installation, and damage from misuse are not covered. Warranty is non-transferable.

You need a licensed gas contractor. Gas line connections require professional installation to meet local codes and safety standards. Electronic ignition models also require electrical work. DIY installation voids your warranty and may violate local building codes. Most jurisdictions require permits and inspections for gas appliance installations. Hire a licensed professional.

Annual inspection of gas connections, burner ports, and ignition system. Clean burner ports with compressed air if flame pattern becomes uneven. Remove debris from fire glass. Check valve operation. Electronic ignition systems require minimal maintenance. Match lit models require no electrical maintenance. Winter shutdown: turn off gas supply, cover enclosure if desired. The powder coated steel requires no special maintenance beyond occasional cleaning.

The powder coated steel finish is engineered for year round outdoor exposure. It resists weathering, rust, and UV degradation. Unlike raw steel or thin gauge materials, the powder coat provides a protective barrier that maintains consistent appearance season after season. No oil rubbing or patina development. The finish stays consistent and professional looking with minimal maintenance.

Yes. The Octagon Enclosure is engineered for year round outdoor exposure. The powder coated steel resists weathering and temperature cycling. The burner system operates reliably in cold weather. Electronic ignition models function in freezing temperatures. You can use it through winter, though you may want to cover it during extended periods of non-use. No seasonal disassembly required.

HPC Fire provides direct technical support via phone and email. Troubleshooting guidance for burner performance, ignition issues, or flame control. Warranty claims processed directly with manufacturer. Replacement parts guaranteed available. Your installing contractor should also provide post installation support. We're here to help connect you with resources if needed.

Portable fire pits ($300–$800) use thin gauge steel that rusts within 2–3 seasons. They lack engineered burner systems, CSA certification, and architect grade materials. The Octagon Enclosure uses powder coated steel with protective finish that resists weathering. The Standard burner system carries a lifetime warranty. This is architect grade scale and materials designed for permanent hardscape installation, not seasonal decoration. You're comparing a built-in fire feature that anchors your outdoor room for decades to a disposable accessory.
