Sunglo 50,000 BTU Natural Gas Portable Post-Mount Patio Heater - Stainless Steel
Sunglo 50,000 BTU Natural Gas Portable Post-Mount Patio Heater - Stainless Steel
| The Sunglo A242 combines the full 50,000 BTU power and economy of a natural gas patio heater with the flexibility of a portable design. Unlike the permanent-mount PSA265, the A242 features a freestanding weighted base that lets you move, reposition, or remove the heater as your patio layout changes throughout the season. An optional 12-foot hose kit with quick-connect coupling allows fast setup and takedown while the optional floor clamp kit secures the heater to the deck when a fixed position is preferred. The signature deep dish aluminum reflector broadcasts infrared radiant heat over a 12-15 foot diameter area, warming people and objects directly without heating the surrounding air. The manually operated pilot-thermocouple ignition system requires no electrical power, making this heater reliable even during power outages. Stainless Steel 304 grade stainless steel construction stands up to the outdoor environment. Made in the USA since 1961 with complete lifetime parts availability. |

The Sunglo Advantage
| Since 1961, Sunglo has been the original and industry-leading name in outdoor radiant heating. While many competitors have come and gone, Sunglo heaters remain the preferred choice at world-class resorts, hotels, restaurants, and homes for several reasons that set them apart: True Infrared Radiant Heat: Sunglo heaters work like the sun, warming people and objects directly rather than heating the surrounding air. This means instant warmth the moment you turn on the heater, with no wasted energy heating empty space. Deep Dish Aluminum Reflector: The one-piece deep dish reflector is the heart of every Sunglo heater. This commercial-grade reflector broadcasts radiant heat over a 12-15 foot diameter coverage area, far exceeding the narrow cone of heat from typical mushroom-style patio heaters. Wind Resistant Design: Rated for winds up to 10 mph horizontal, Sunglo heaters stay lit in conditions that shut down standard patio heaters. The infrared heating technology is inherently less affected by wind because it heats objects directly, not the air. Commercial-Grade Construction: Heavy-duty corrosion-resistant materials throughout. Stainless steel models use 304-grade stainless steel. The primary aerated burner operates quietly while delivering maximum BTU output. Lifetime Parts Availability: Unlike imported heaters that become disposable when parts fail, Sunglo maintains complete parts availability and support for every model they have ever manufactured. Your Sunglo heater is a long-term investment, not a throwaway. Made in the USA: Every Sunglo heater is proudly designed and manufactured in the United States, ensuring strict quality control, CSA certification, and consistent performance. |
Which Sunglo Model Is Right For You?
|
PSA265 - Permanent Post Mount (Natural Gas): Best for open, uncovered patios where the heater will stay in one location permanently. The post mounts directly in the ground or deck and cannot be moved once installed. Available with manual or 24V electronic ignition. 50,000 BTU. A242 - Portable Post Mount (Natural Gas): Best when you need the economy of natural gas but want the flexibility to move or remove the heater. Features a freestanding weighted base with an optional floor clamp for added stability. Connects via a gas line with an optional 12-foot hose kit with quick-connect coupling. 50,000 BTU. A244 - Suspended/Hanging Mount (Natural Gas): Best for covered patios where floor space is at a premium. Hangs from a ceiling, trellis, or mezzanine using a distinctive decorative scroll bracket. Heats 360 degrees downward, making it ideal over round tables or central gathering areas. 50,000 BTU. A270 - Portable Propane: Best for completely portable heating with no gas line required. Self-contained unit runs on a standard 20 lb propane tank (approximately 6 hours continuous use). Place it anywhere outdoors without worrying about gas connections. 40,000 BTU. |
