Stanbroil Fire Pit Spark Ignition Kit — Chrome Ball Valve & Stainless Steel Plate, 48in Leads

Stanbroil's Fire Pit Gas Burner Spark Ignition Kit is a complete DIY ignition solution that pairs a chrome ball valve, spark ignitor with leads and ground wire, and a stainless-steel mounting plate for reliable push-button starts on compatible gas fire pits.

Upgrade or repair your outdoor fire pit lighting with a kit designed for straightforward installation and everyday use. This package bundles a chrome ball valve (with a 3" chrome key), an electronic spark ignitor with 48" lead and ground wires, and a corrosion-resistant stainless steel plate. It’s built for homeowners and hobbyists who want a tidy, functional control point for a propane or natural gas fire feature. Note the kit needs one AAA battery (not included) and works best with compatible low-to-moderate flame burners—not high-jet flame systems.

How does this kit simplify starting my backyard fire pit?

The spark ignitor creates a quick, visible spark to light the burner when you open the gas valve, eliminating matches or lighters. The included chrome ball valve with key gives you a smooth on/off control and a clean look for the face plate. Together they give a professional, finished control point for your fire pit.

• Pre-wired spark ignitor with 48" lead and 48" ground for flexible placement
• Chrome ball valve with 3" key for secure shutoff and easy turning
• Stainless steel mounting plate for neat installation and corrosion resistance

What are the physical dimensions and connection details?

The face plate measures approximately 7.02" long × 3.86" wide × 3.83" high, giving enough surface for labels or a decorative surround. The spark probe is 2.44" long, and the wiring uses 48" leads for routing through typical pit cabinets. The ball valve is 1/2" female NPT on both ends, and two 3/8" male flared to 1/2" NPT adapters are included for easier hookup.

• Face plate: 7.02" L × 3.86" W × 3.83" H for standard mounting openings
• Probe length: 2.44" for reliable burner reach
• Ball valve: 1/2" female NPT with two 3/8" male flared adapters included

What should I know about installation and compatibility?

Installation is intended for experienced DIYers comfortable working with gas fittings and basic wiring. The kit is user-friendly but does not include the igniter mounting plate that some fire pit assemblies provide, so verify you have or need a compatible plate before purchase. The ignitor runs on a single AAA battery and is not recommended for high-flame jet burners, where ignition may be unreliable.

• Requires one AAA battery (not included)
• Not recommended for high-jet flame or very high-output burners
• Check existing mounting plate compatibility or purchase a separate plate if missing

What hardware and accessories come in the box?

The kit arrives with the primary components you need to convert or replace a manual ignition point: a chrome ball valve with key, the spark ignitor assembly with leads and ground, and a stainless steel mounting plate. Two 3/8" male flared × 1/2" NPT fittings are included to ease connection to common supply lines.

• Chrome ball valve and 3" chrome key for control and security
• Spark ignitor with 48" lead wires and 48" ground wire
• Stainless steel mounting plate and two 3/8" flared adapters

Who this is for: The Stanbroil Fire Pit Gas Burner Spark Ignition Kit is ideal for homeowners, landscapers, and DIY enthusiasts wanting a durable, user-friendly ignition and control solution for standard gas fire pits. Choose this kit if you have a low-to-moderate flame burner, a compatible mounting plate or willingness to source one, and basic experience installing gas fittings safely. If your fire pit uses high-jet burners or you lack a mounting plate, confirm compatibility before ordering to ensure reliable ignition and a tidy final installation.
