HPC’s Technology Eliminates the Opportunity for Water Issues In The Valve Box

“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest, Benjamin Franklin.” HPC Fire Inspired values the development of using their industry experience and knowledge to advance technology that both enhances the quality of our appliances and the customer experience. This Tech Talk is dedicated to discussing HPC’s engineered design to elevate outdoor burners and mitigate water issues.

HPC’s Signature Engineered Designs:

HPC has made several critical technological advances that mitigate water issues due to outdoor elements. HPC utilizes commercial-grade stainless steel to create all fire components. Using quality materials allows our units to withstand severe weather conditions. From the construction of the pan to the use of a manifold, each component plays a crucial role in the designs’ quality and functionality. HPC’s Pans are constructed with stainless steel and have strategically placed weep holes to allow for drainage. In turn, the weep holes deter water from collecting in the pan itself. Every HPC burner utilizes a raised hub design with weep holes located on the ends of the burners. The raised hub guides water downward and out toward the weep holes. The tooled weep holes are approximately 3/32 of an inch. The next line of defense is the Manifold. The leg or sediment trap guides water away from the valve. This evolution in design creates another layer of protection for the valve and the valve box shielding it from the elements. Lastly, HPC installs valve box ventilation which has increased air movement and ventilation. Allowing the valve and the valve box to remain dried and ventilated even in the face of storms. Purchasing an HPC Fire Inspired Appliance will guarantee you a quality design with unparalleled performance, ease of use, and the latest technological conveniences.

Managing The Elements:

One way to maintain your fire appliance is to utilize an HPC cover while not in use. Our covers can be located under accessories. However, If an appliance burner is exposed during a storm HPC recommends igniting the unit for approximately 30 to 45 minutes. Doing so will facilitate the evaporation of any standing water left in the appliance. A-Pro Tip from HPC, As stated by Chuck Parsons, “To extend the longevity of your unit it is best to run it regularly and when not in use it is best to keep it covered.”

Customer Satisfaction:
HPC values knowledge and invests in the exploration of best practices as well as engineering to ensure the quality and performance of each fire design. HPC stands by the integrity of our units and offers our customers a lifetime guarantee warranty. Refer to HPC’s warranty guidelines servicing all of your needs.
