Description
The SunStar Angled Mount Gas Patio Heater delivers efficient radiant infrared heat for patios, restaurants, and outdoor living spaces that require targeted heat direction. Available in 24,000 or 35,000 BTU configurations, this two-stage heater mounts at adjustable angles from 15 to 60 degrees, allowing heat to be aimed directly into seating areas while keeping the unit tight to the ceiling.
Unlike mushroom-style heaters that warm the surrounding air, this infrared heater warms people and surfaces directly. The glass front face blends into most décor, while the compact 48-inch length integrates cleanly along beams, soffits, and ceiling structures in tighter patio layouts. Ideal for covered patios, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, and restaurant seating areas where directional heat is preferred.
SunStar heaters are available with four wall control configurations so you can choose the setup that fits your space. The standard wall switch provides simple ON and OFF operation. The wall switch with remote adds handheld control for added convenience. The wall switch with built-in 60-minute timer is a recessed switch option with lumination. It offers LOW and HIGH heat settings with an automatic shutoff for applications that require timed use (available as the standalone switch or switch + remote).
All models share the same heating performance. Choose your heater based on fuel type, control preference, and finish:
- Fuel Type: Natural Gas ("N" models) or Propane ("L" models)
- Control Type: Wall switch only ("7" models) or wall switch plus wireless remote ("10" models)
- Finish: SGL black glass-front steel cabinet or MGL 316 marine-grade stainless steel cabinet
