HPC Fire PENTA19 19" Standard Penta Burner Hi/Lo Electronic Ignition Round Fire Pit Insert – 24VAC
The HPC Fire PENTA19 19" Standard Penta Burner Hi/Lo Electronic Ignition Round Fire Pit Insert – 24VAC is a CSA-certified outdoor fire pit insert built from #304 stainless steel for custom built-in enclosures. This page is intentionally dedicated to the standard penta burner configuration, with a maximum listed input of 65,000 BTU. Select Natural Gas or Liquid Propane as the Fuel Type variant.
Before You Buy
Verify These First
- You need a 19" round bowl insert rather than a flat-pan or other fire-pit geometry.
- You want the standard penta burner shown on this page.
- You will select the Fuel Type that matches the installed Natural Gas or Liquid Propane supply.
- The electrical design is specifically 24VAC.
- The project can accommodate up to 65,000 BTU input for the selected configuration.
- The enclosure can provide the required ventilation, drainage, gas access, service access, and clearances.
- The installation is outdoors and will follow the exact manufacturer drawing and local codes.
Do Not Assume
- That the Standard Penta and Torpedo Penta burner versions are interchangeable product pages.
- That fuel type can be changed without ordering the correct fuel-specific SKU.
- That 24VAC can be substituted with the other voltage without choosing the correct product page.
- That a finished fire-pit enclosure, fire media, wind guard, or cover is automatically included.
- That catalog dimensions replace the model-specific installation drawing.
- That modifying the appliance will preserve certification or warranty.
PENTA19 19" Overview
This model is designed for a built-in outdoor enclosure where the round bowl-pan format, selected burner architecture, fuel supply, ignition method, and installation requirements have all been verified before ordering.
HPC's patented five-lobe Penta geometry is designed to concentrate flame toward the center for a natural campfire-style presentation while using less fuel to reach comparable flame height than a conventional fire ring.
The round bowl pan includes a 1.25" lip intended to rest over the surrounding enclosure surface. HPC also identifies a raised burner hub and drainage weep holes as part of its outdoor water-management design.

Insert Fit & Burner Configuration
The insert diameter, burner size, burner architecture, maximum input, and enclosure design must be checked independently before ordering.
Key Features
Designed for residential and commercial outdoor fire-feature applications.
The supplied catalog specifies #304, 18-gauge stainless steel for the round bowl pan.
Raised-hub construction and weep holes are designed to reduce water accumulation in outdoor installations.
HPC's patented five-lobe Penta geometry is designed to concentrate flame toward the center for a natural campfire-style presentation while using less fuel to reach comparable flame height than a conventional fire ring.
The bowl-pan design includes a 1.25" lip for installation over a properly constructed enclosure.
HPC states that its CSA-certified inserts are fully assembled and 100% burn tested.
Fuel, Ignition & Control Configuration
Fuel Type is the Shopify variant on this product page. Burner architecture and voltage, where applicable, are intentionally fixed at the product-page level.
Natural Gas
Natural Gas variant. HPC lists 3.5–7.0 in. W.C. supply pressure for applicable fixed-piping insert systems.
Liquid Propane
Liquid Propane variant. HPC lists 8.0–11.0 in. W.C. supply pressure for applicable fixed-piping insert systems.
Ignition & Controls
This page is dedicated to the 24VAC Hi/Lo electronic-ignition configuration. HPC describes the system as flame-sensing electronic hot-surface ignition; Hi/Lo models support adjustable flame output and the catalog states that the low setting reduces input by approximately 40%.
Variant Reference
Installation, Ventilation & Safety Requirements
This is a built-in outdoor fire pit insert, not a complete freestanding fire pit. The enclosure must provide appropriate support, ventilation, drainage, gas access, service access, and required clearances.
Enclosure Ventilation
For applicable enclosures at or below 200,000 BTU, the supplied HPC drawing calls for two 18 sq. in. vents on opposing sides.
The supplied catalog also calls for ventilation on at least two sides and a minimum 50% free-air space within the enclosure.
Clearances & Access
HPC lists a minimum 2" clearance below the insert and 36"–48" clearance to combustibles depending on insert size and application. Confirm the exact model drawing before construction.
What’s Included
The insert is supplied as an assembled pan-and-burner system with the related electronic-ignition components. The supplied 2026 pricing resource identifies a remote with the Hi/Lo configuration. The finished enclosure and decorative fire media are not stated as included.
Important Before You Buy
- Outdoor use only.
- Confirm the correct Fuel Type before ordering.
- Gas piping and any flexible connector must be sized and rated for the selected SKU’s maximum BTU input.
- Clearances, ventilation, drainage, and service access must be incorporated into the enclosure design.
- California Proposition 65: the supplied manufacturer catalog states that this product can expose users to lead and chromium.

Manufacturer Documentation & Technical Resources
The supplied 2026 HPC Outdoor Living Product Catalog directs installers and specifiers to HPC product references for instructions and drawings. Review the exact documentation for the selected SKU, fuel, ignition, and voltage before installation or service.
Flame Authority Product Guidance
The HPC Fire PENTA19 19" Standard Penta Burner Hi/Lo Electronic Ignition Round Fire Pit Insert – 24VAC is best suited to an outdoor built-in project that specifically calls for a 19" round bowl insert with the standard penta burner and hi/lo electronic ignition.
The most important ordering checks are the burner architecture, Fuel Type, maximum BTU input and 24VAC electrical configuration. These choices affect gas supply, controls, enclosure planning, and installation requirements.
Do not select the insert by diameter alone. Confirm the exact SKU, burner, fuel, ignition, gas-supply capacity, enclosure ventilation, clearances, and manufacturer installation requirements before purchase.
PENTA19 FAQs
Yes, when both Fuel Type variants appear on this page. Select the variant that matches the installed gas supply; do not assume the two fuel configurations are interchangeable.
This page is only for the standard penta burner. The other burner architecture is intentionally listed on a separate product page.
Yes. This product page is dedicated to the 24VAC configuration; use the separate voltage-specific product page if the project requires the other electrical option.
Hi/Lo provides adjustable flame output. HPC states that the low setting reduces BTU input by approximately 40%.
No. HPC identifies these certified fire pit inserts for outdoor use only.
The enclosure must meet the ventilation requirements for the selected BTU input and installation. Do not build or close the enclosure until the exact model drawing and local code requirements have been verified.
The supplied resources do not state that decorative fire media is included with this insert. Do not assume media is included unless it is specifically listed with the ordered SKU.
