Light Your H Burner Fire Pit from a Wall Switch
This HPC Fire H-Burner insert gives you a long rectangular fire you start from a wall switch, so nobody has to kneel at the pit with a match and a key valve while guests wait. It comes in 8 sizes, from 24x12 to 90x16 inches, long enough for a sectional or a row of lounge chairs to wrap around the flame.
Key Features
- Wall switch start: the same switch that lights the fire also shuts it off when the evening ends.
- Flame sensing: the main gas valve opens only after the pilot flame heats the thermocouple.
- 115,000 to 400,000 BTU: output climbs with size, and HPC's 2026 list offers the 90x16 in On/Off only.
- 304 stainless steel: a 2 1/2 inch deep pan with a 1 1/4 inch lip, for outdoor installs.

The Full Picture
HPC requires a wall switch for the safety shutoff, and it is not on the manual's parts list, so plan to add one. This H burner fire pit insert runs on natural gas or propane through fixed piping. The match lit version stops at 36x14, push button at 54x16 and HI/LO at 78x16.
Flame sensing with electronic hot surface ignition works in this order:
- Light cycle: the igniter glows 5 seconds before the pilot valve opens, then the pilot lights the main burner.
- Flame out: if the pilot flame blows out, the system shuts down and restarts the light cycle itself.
- Overheat: the gas valve closes if the valve box passes 190°F, until you reset the power.
