Midwest Hearth Fire Pit Gas Valve Kit — 1/2" NPT Solid Brass Ball Valve, Flat Black Flange & 3" Key, CSA-Certified

The Midwest Hearth Fire Pit Gas Valve Kit is a CSA-certified 1/2" NPT solid brass ball valve assembly with a flat black decorative flange and 3" key, built for safe, code-compliant shutoff on natural gas and propane lines.

This kit combines a commercial-grade brass ball valve, a decorative floor plate, and a 3" universal key into a single package engineered for both indoor and outdoor gas applications. The assembly is ANSI Z21.5 compliant and designed to meet common residential and light-commercial code requirements for an accessible shutoff at the appliance. It’s intended to replace generic fittings with a durable, low-resistance valve that blends with patio and hearth styling.

How is this valve different from a standard gas shutoff?

Unlike globe-style shutoffs, the solid brass ball valve offers reliable quarter-turn operation with minimal pressure drop, so it won’t hinder gas flow to burners or log sets. The brass construction reduces corrosion risk compared to plated or low-grade metals, and CSA certification confirms it meets established safety standards.

• Solid brass body for longevity and corrosion resistance
• Quarter-turn ball design for fast, positive shutoff
• CSA and ANSI Z21.5 compliant for code acceptance
• Rated 1/2 PSIG max, works with NG and LP

What components are included, and how do they install?

The kit ships complete with a straight 1/2" NPT solid brass ball valve, a flat black decorative floor plate (flange), and a 3" key crafted from Zamak #3 alloy. Installation is straightforward for qualified installers: thread the 1/2" NPT into the gas line, secure the flange to the finished surface, and use the key to operate the valve. It’s compatible with existing 1/2" gas piping commonly used for fire pits and log lighter systems.

• 1/2" NPT straight solid brass ball valve pre-rated for NG and LP
• Flat black decorative flange to conceal rough-in and provide a finished look
• 3" Zamak alloy key for simple access and operation
• Threaded connections for direct integration with standard gas fittings

Will this kit match my outdoor decor and multiple gas setups?

Yes — the valve assembly is available in several decorative finishes so it coordinates with different hearth and patio styles while the flat black flange included in this listing provides a neutral, low-profile appearance. The same brass valve functions equally well on natural gas or liquid propane systems, making it versatile for built-in fire pits, outdoor kitchens, and indoor gas log installs where a code-compliant shutoff is required.

• Flat black finish included for a modern, understated look
• Also offered by the brand in polished chrome and antique metal finishes (other SKUs)
• Works with both natural gas and propane piping
• Suitable for patios, fire pit tables, gas log sets, and BBQ islands

Who this product is for: Installers, contractors, and informed DIYers who need a reliable, code-friendly shutoff for gas fire features will find this kit useful. If you’re outfitting a backyard fire pit, retrofitting a gas log system, or building an outdoor kitchen island and want a low-profile, durable valve that complements your finish choices, this Midwest Hearth kit streamlines installation while meeting recognized safety standards.
