The Sunglo (A242B) portable post-mount heater is an ideal choice for adding warmth and style to your outdoor space without taking up too much valuable floor space. It installs permanently in your patio and utilizes radiant heat to warm people and objects, not the surrounding air. The heater post features a durable, black powder-coat finish. This patio heater uses natural gas and operates at 50,000 BTUs per hour. The deep-dish reflector broadcasts radiant heat over an area of up to 12 feet in diameter, depending on wind conditions. This heater features a safety pilot system which automatically shuts off the gas if the flame is lost. The Sunglo A242B has a battery-operated, spark ignition system and a manual on/off control knob located at the front of the heater. No electrical connection is required, making this heater easy to maintain. A 24-inch clearance from combustibles around the sides of the heater is required for safe use. Made in the USA.
