Overview
The Bromic Tungsten Smart-Heat 500 is a fixed gas infrared heater with 43,000 BTU of output and Bromic's signature honeycomb face. Gas infrared heats fast and strong, which makes it a good choice for open patios, restaurant terraces and large outdoor rooms where an electric heater would not keep up.
The pivot arm bracket lets you angle the heat toward a table or seating area, and the heater is designed to keep working in light wind, up to 10 mph.
300 or 500?
The Tungsten 300 delivers 26,000 BTU for about 160 sq. ft.; the Tungsten 500 delivers 43,000 BTU for about 215 sq. ft. Heat area figures are Bromic's ratings in ideal, sheltered conditions. Wind, open sides and very cold nights reduce the area a heater can keep comfortable, so for large or exposed patios plan more than one heater.
Mounting and Installation
Minimum floor clearance is 96 inches. The heater mounts on a wall bracket (included) or on ceiling poles available in several lengths. Where the clearance above the heater is limited, add Bromic's low clearance heat deflector. The heater needs a gas line (natural gas or propane, matching the model) and a 110V supply, and must be installed by a qualified gas fitter.
Smart Controls
The Affinity Smart-Heat On/Off controller (sold separately) switches one or several gas heaters from a single wall panel.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a gas heater need electricity?
Yes. These heaters use electronic ignition and controls and need a 110V supply (under 2A).
Gas or electric?
Gas puts out more heat and copes better with open, breezy spaces. Electric is simpler to install, silent and needs no gas line. For a covered patio, electric is usually enough.
Can it be used indoors?
No. It is designed for outdoor areas only.
