HPC Fire TOR-PENTA25 25" Torpedo Penta Burner Match-Lit Round Fire Pit Insert
The HPC Fire TOR-PENTA25 25" Torpedo Penta Burner Match-Lit Round Fire Pit Insert 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 torpedo 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 25" round bowl insert rather than a flat-pan or other fire-pit geometry.
- You want the torpedo penta burner shown on this page.
- You will select the Fuel Type that matches the installed Natural Gas or Liquid Propane supply.
- 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 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.
TOR-PENTA25 25" 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 SST Torpedo burner uses nozzle-style outlets to create a larger, more concentrated bonfire-style flame while retaining the round Penta layout.
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.

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
Match-lit operation uses a manual key valve and an external long lighter. It does not require household electricity for ignition. This is the simplest control format in the supplied HPC round-bowl range.
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
Manufacturer resources for the applicable match-lit kit identify the burner, round bowl pan, manual valve and key hardware, flange, flexible gas connection, and related fittings. The finished enclosure and decorative fire media are not stated as included with the insert.
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 TOR-PENTA25 25" Torpedo Penta Burner Match-Lit Round Fire Pit Insert is best suited to an outdoor built-in project that specifically calls for a 25" round bowl insert with the torpedo penta burner and match-lit.
The most important ordering checks are the burner architecture, Fuel Type, maximum BTU input. 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.
TOR-PENTA25 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.

No. Match-lit operation uses a manual gas valve and an external lighter rather than an electrical ignition system.
