Fuel Source
When selecting the fuel type for your Lumacast fire feature, it’s important to understand the differences between hardline connections and external propane tanks. Each option offers unique advantages depending on your space and preferences. Below, you'll find detailed information about the available fuel types to help you make the right choice.
A hardline connection is a permanent gas supply line running directly to your fire feature. This option provides an uninterrupted, steady supply of fuel, eliminating the need to monitor or replace tanks. Hardline connections are ideal for spaces where aesthetics are key, as there is no visible fuel source to consider.
NATURAL GAS - HARDLINE
- Convenient & Continuous: Your fire feature is connected directly to your natural gas supply, offering a continuous fuel source with no need to refill.
- Lower Operating Costs: Natural gas is often more cost-effective over time, especially for high-use fire features.
- Environmental Impact: Known for producing fewer emissions than propane, natural gas is the cleaner-burning option, reducing the overall environmental footprint of your fire feature.
PROPANE - HARDLINE
- Efficient & Powerful: Propane produces more heat per BTU than natural gas, making it an efficient choice for those seeking higher heat output.
- Reliable & Accessible: Propane hardline setups provide the same convenience of natural gas with the added benefits of propane’s energy efficiency.
- Installation Considerations: A dedicated propane line must be installed, but once in place, it provides a reliable and concealed fuel source.
If a hardline connection is not feasible for your space, using an external propane tank is a practical alternative. This method allows you to fuel your fire feature without the need for a fixed gas line, providing flexibility in installation while ensuring the same high-performance experience.
PROPANE - EXTERNAL TANK
- Great Alternative: Ideal for spaces where a hardline connection isn’t possible. An external propane tank allows you to enjoy the full functionality of your fire feature without the need for extensive installation work.
- Low Installation Costs: No need for gas lines or major modifications—just connect an external propane tank, and you’re ready to go.
- Efficient & Reliable: Propane provides an excellent fuel source with a higher heat output than natural gas, ensuring your fire feature performs optimally.
