Fire by Design MCG Mini AWEIS Electronic Gas Fire Pit Ignition System with Commercial Grade Pilot
About the Manufacturer
Beginning in 2005, Fire by Design started offering electronic ignition components for outdoor fire features using the same parts found in indoor units with a simple "weatherproof" box and labeled them as 'outdoor use'. Shortly after experiencing issues with the electronic components, founder Bob Roman realized he could develope a better automated outdoor ignition system. What he discovered was a better outdoor unit had to start with a superior "controller". After working with a local engineering firm and rigorous testing, Roman came up with the All Weather Electronic Ignition System (AWEIS for short) that provdied a unit that will operate in winds in excess of 55 mph and can even opearate when submerged in water - truly an impressive unit for the harshest of climates.
The AWEIS Mini is rated for a max BTU output of 125,000 BTU with a maximum inlet pressure of 0.5 PSI. The valve features 1/2-inch FPT fittings to connect with other gas components. The entire valve box measures 3.5 by 3.5 by 3 inches (W x D x H).
