The Lava Heat Lite Z7 is an affordable, portable and easy to use patio heater. This Omni directional patio heater puts out an impressive 51,000 BTU’s, facilitated by a durable Borosilicate glass tube. The “Easy Start” ignition makes the Lava Heat Lite a snap to operate, with a standard propane unit that can be upgraded to natural gas. This Lava Heat Lite model comes unassembled for smaller shipping box dimensions. This version of the triangular tower has all the same great safety features of the higher priced Lava flame heaters, with a tank stabilization strap in the base, Safe-Tilt switch and cool touch steel grills. Adding to the appeal of the Z7 are chrome reflectors at each inner corner of the unit, which visually enhance the flame by dispersing the light and adding an ambient glow – exclusive to the Lite series. The Lava Lite patio heater can heat up to 12 hours of 360 degree heating on a 20 pound propane tank. Aluminum/steel construction with a Heritage Bronze finish. 5 year manufacturers warranty.
